About this audio guide
This guide to Boulevard Riyadh City drops you into a single mid-Ramadan evening in April twenty twenty-two, among the neon and the replica Times Square of Riyadh's biggest entertainment zone. It follows Gargee'an, the old Eastern Arabian custom of children singing door to door for sweets and nuts, and what its songs ask for. You'll also hear one theory about where the strange name comes from.
