Exploring new geosites and geoheritage opens opportunities for geotourism. One of the geomorphic features in central Saudi Arabia is the Tuwaiq Mountain, extending from the southern margin of the Nafud Sand Sea to the northwest margin of Rub' al Khali sand sea. Appraisal study in the Tuwaiq Mountain reveals the various geological and geomorphological features like Escarpment, mesa, butte, pinnacle, wadi network, and fossil. The majestic view of the Escarpment comprises the cliff, talus, and a birds-eye view of the wadi (fluvial valley), one of the prime viewpoints. Initially, cuesta was formed due to the tectonic movement associated with the opening of the Red Sea. Tectonic landforms like faults are continuously eroded and form the scarp. Gulley network indicates the dominance of a fluvial environment that later transformed into an aeolian environment. Therefore, the landforms’ evolution and geomorphic processes in different geological periods enhance this place’s geoheritage value. The Jurassic fossils remain in this area and are a unique geological attraction. Numerous dried-up gully networks are another viewpoint of the Tuwaiq Mountain, which is essential for biodiversity. Each potential tourist attraction is described in the context of protection, policy development, and enhanced additional attractions for geotourism development.

Tuwaiq Mountains: The most popular sightseeing spot an hour away from Riyadh

Abdullah Al Rushud

RIYADH: The Tuwaiq Mountains, which are said to be familiar to every citizen of Saudi Arabia, are among the most fascinating mountain ranges in the world.

This mountain range is a narrow escarpment that cuts through the plateau of Nejd in central Arabia, running from the southern border of Al-Qasim in the north to the northern edge of the Empty Quarter desert near Wadi ad-Dawasir in the south. It is located approximately 120km from the capital, with the trip taking about an hour and a half by car.

Given that this spot is particularly popular among adventurers and tourists, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman compared the disposition of the Saudi Arabian people to the Tuwaiq Mountains during his speech at the Future Investment Initiative Conference.

The Edge of the World, which offers an astonishingly dramatic view, is located at the end of a windy desert path that continues along the ridge of this escarpment.

Tuwaiq is the diminutive form of the term for collar, and the Tuwaiq Mountains were given this name because they are shaped like a 800km-long cordon that surrounds the Riyadh Region.

Visitors who come to the Tuwaiq Mountains for hiking can take various routes to reach the summit. Since the topography features sharp inclines, while the path is made of loose gravel, there is a need to climb steep slopes, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

You can enjoy seeing camels and ancient ruins along the riverbed cutting through the valley below, as well as fossils that are a relic from back when this area used to be on the sea floor.

It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes to reach the edge of the cliff, but there are many places along the way where you can stop to enjoy the views.

Since the gates to go outside close at 6 PM, you must make sure to give yourself enough time for the way back, unless you are planning to camp overnight in the Acacia Valley.

Because you will need a high-sensitivity GPS receiver and a sports utility vehicle to access areas where you can enjoy the distinctive sunset and night sky that is full of stars, it would be ideal to join a group of multiple people traveling by car.

Tuwaiq Palace: The Heart of the Diplomatic Quarter

Photos by Abdulaziz Muhaysin and Ahmad Ramadan

For over 30 years, the Tuwaiq Palace, one of architecture’s greatest marvels, stands strong and still in the Diplomatic Quarter. This cultural and social facility represents Saudi Arabia’s past, present, and future: echoing its history and heritage, adapting to the ever changing Riyadh cityscape, and looking forward to the modernity and advancements of the 21st century.

In the northwest side of the Diplomatic Quarter (DQ) lies its heart: the impressive cultural building called the Tuwaiq Palace that beats in accordance with the city its built upon. Like Riyadh, Tuwaiq Palace is known for its series of contrasts: it’s a garden in the middle of a desert, a structure inspired by traditional nomadic shelters but houses the latest computerized technology, and a solid, secured building that stands in an open courtyard. The Tuwaiq Palace is an iconic landmark in Riyadh and it’s here to stay.

Started in 1983 by the OHO Joint Venture of Frei Otto, Buro Happold, and Saudi architect Basem Shihabi of Omrania, the Tuwaiq Palace was first named Diplomatic Club. It was finished in 1985 and was renamed in 1987 to Tuwaiq Palace after a mountain located outside Riyadh. Like its namesake, the Tuwaiq Palace exits in a plateau. It occupies 75,000 sqm of land and overlooks the lush Wadi Hanifa and the glittering Riyadh skyline. Its design was made in harmony with the environment where it was built and it followed the land contours and embraced the greens of the area.

This design won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1998. “The Tuwaiq Palace pays homage to the Arabic culture and heritage and at the same time, uses highly modern innovation and technologies.” In Arthur Clark’s article on Riyadh’s New DQ published in Aramco World 1988, Saudi architect Basem Shihabi was quoted on saying that there was no single inspiration for the palace. He said that “there was a great deal of tossing thoughts of how to combine the strong physical features of the site with its strong limitations. We needed to have a green, lush space to make it happy for visitors.” And indeed, they succeeded in doing just that.

The architecture of the building is influenced by the Najd design known for its mud walls, introverted design and narrow, winding streets. It reflects two major symbols of the Kingdom’s architectural heritage: the fortress and the tent. The tent-like structures made of Teflon-coated fiberglass are inspired by the nomadic shelters put up in the edges of the city; some in the middle of the desert exposed to the harsh weather conditions but still standing strong and defying the odds. It has been over 30 years since the Tuwaiq was built but it still looks amazing; enduring the test of time with its daring design, well-thought-of layout and complex engineering. The Tuwaiq Palace gathers together the elements of terraces, courtyards, and caves into its space and turns itself into an oasis, the central cultural facility in the DQ. In a latter article titled A Counterpoint of Cloth and Stone for the same magazine, writer Clark quoted Abdulrahman M. Al-Sari, former Director of Urban and Cultural Development of the ADA (then known as Riyadh Development Authority) saying “Tuwaiq Palace is definitely unique. It’s one of the examples that we use to show how to build a building that belongs to the place and space it’s erected in. It belongs to Riyadh, to the wadi, to that particular location.” “The Tuwaiq Palace belongs to Riyadh, to the wadi, to that particular location.”

The centerpiece of the palace’s garden is the Heart Tent, a stunning canopy of over 2,000 hand-painted stained glass. Designed by Bettina Otto, daughter of architect Frei Otto, the Heart Tent sits like a fine jewel in the midst of the property. When the sun shines during the day, the glass shimmers like fish scales and its myriad colors become more vibrant than ever. It bathes its surroundings with dancing colors of reds, oranges, blues, greens and hues in between. It’s one of the most known facets of the Tuwaiq Palace and it’s a beauty one must definitely see.

The Tuwaiq Palace is the venue of government functions, state receptions, and cultural festivals. It houses conference facilities including lounges, multi-purpose reception halls, and dining rooms. It has courts meant for sports like squash and tennis, alleys for bowling and pools for swimming. It also has a library for research and reading and 30 rooms that accommodate guests. Most embassies located in the DQ hold their National Day celebrations and ma’salamah parties for outgoing staff in the palace. Only government institutions and embassies can use the palace for their events and activities but if you’re in the area, you might get a glimpse of one of Saudi Arabia’s major landmarks.

MOMENTS at the TUWAIQ PALACE

Guests divulge what makes the palace memorable for them.

“Considering that Tuwaiq Palace ages back to almost three decades, it’s still a marvellous structure with its architecture and great unhindered views. I love being on the terrace because it truly makes me feel that my beloved Riyadh is an oasis in the desert.” Cyma Aziz, TV Anchor of KSA 2

“The Heart Tent is a marvel both in day and night. It is unlike any structure I’ve ever seen in the entire city. Simply picturesque!”   Salma Haddad, DQ resident

“Tuwaiq Palace is a unique building in Riyadh, which offers an original panorama with series of contrasts; desert and garden , modern and traditional architecture at the same time. The concept of the interior design seems to introduce the Saudi arts to the international community and embassies that are frequently choosing to organize there their receptions. We have enjoyed our Albanian National Day reception in Tuwaiq Palace last year and most probably we might be there this year as well.” Jonida Drogu, Diplomat, Albania Embassy

“I’ve attended many functions and special events at Tuwaiq Palace. We organized the annual SIDF banquets where the organization would celebrate employee anniversaries. I can recall the special evening where the head of SIDF recognized me for my longstanding contributions.” Fayez Al Saad a DQ resident and former employee of the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF)

“Lovely setting. Beautiful design.” Sally Kennedy, Owner of The Good Ship Lollipop
