About this audio guide
This guide to Wadi Namar Waterfall in Riyadh follows a single number, one point two six, from an earthquake in Chile in twenty ten to a festival of light art in this valley in December twenty twenty-three. You'll meet the artist Janet Echelman and a net shaped by a tsunami that once hung over Denver's streets. Best heard by the lake after dark, facing the falls.
