About this audio guide
This guide to Bujairi Terrace in Riyadh's Diriyah district looks away from the restaurants and down into Wadi Hanifah, the valley that made this oasis possible. It follows the farmers who left it, the officials who called it a dump, and the landscape architects and engineers who went to work on it from two thousand one. Along the way you'll hear about flash floods, silt and palm groves, and the herons and egrets now recorded along the water. Best heard at the railing, looking out over the valley.
