About this audio guide
This audio guide to Al Olaya in Riyadh sets aside the towers and malls of the city's business district for a few weeks in November two thousand twenty-two, when the Noor Riyadh festival brought light art onto its streets. It follows the Saudi artist Ayman Zedani and a hardy desert plant he carried into the heart of the city, and the question he raised about nature in Gulf cities. You'll also meet a social media personality turned artist who set out to change how people walk down Olaya Street.
