About this audio guide
This guide to Roshn Front in Riyadh starts with your hand on one of the stone sculptures that stand around the site, and follows it back to Tuwaiq Sculpture, the city's yearly carving gathering. It visits the weeks in early two thousand twenty-five when sculptors from twenty-three countries worked raw local stone here in the open, with Egyptian stonemasons beside them and visitors looking on. It also opens the tent where ordinary passers-by were handed tools of their own. Best heard standing within arm's reach of any of the sculptures.
