Al-Thumairi Gate, Riyadh

While exploring the city make sure you visit the Al-Thumairi gate, a piece of history still in the town center. It is a historical gate that was once part of nine gates that lead into the city. They were torn down in 1950, and now the slick restored gate is situated across the street. The road it is located on is busy and crowded, but it gives visitors an idea of traditional Arab architecture.
