Timeline

  1. 09:00

    King Salman Park

    Arrive at King Salman Park and head toward the central areas. The park is vast, so arriving early helps you avoid crowds and enjoy the green spaces in peace.

  2. 09:30

    Light Calligraphy

    Walk north to see Light Calligraphy. This public art piece is a 35-minute walk from the main anchor area. It is a striking visual stop that fits well into a relaxed morning pace.

  3. 09:50

    Oasis Park

    Continue north to Oasis Park. Located just as far from the anchor as the previous stop, this park area offers a chance to rest and take in the landscape design that defines King Salman Park.

  4. 10:30

    King Salman Park

    End your visit back within the main King Salman Park grounds. Use the remaining time to find a bench, reflect on the scale of the Green Riyadh initiative, or simply enjoy the open space.

Local tip

King Salman Park is enormous. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially if you plan to walk the full distance between the northern art installations and the central park areas.

Check before you go

  • Check the official King Salman Park website or app for current opening hours and any specific zone closures, as the park is still under development.
  • The walk between King Salman Park, Light Calligraphy, and Oasis Park involves significant distance (35 minutes each way from the anchor). Plan your route carefully to avoid backtracking.
