Wadi Namar Waterfall

This is such a soothing place to be. Specially during falls / winter time. Couple of tips: * The below park is better than the upside one. * Do bring your own food and water, because there is nothing but ice cream trucks there. * Bring your seating setup as well (like: rugs, chairs etc.) * Its a very good place to do barbeque. * Be prepared for a super long queue of cars during evening time. Suggest to come here in afternoon, it will be less crowded, you will get parking and all.

Wadi Al Namar (وادي نمار) is one of the most popular natural attractions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 🌿 It’s a long valley featuring a large lake, flowing water streams, date palms, and rocky cliffs. The area has been developed as a public park, making it a favorite destination for families, friends, and visitors who want to enjoy nature within the city. Key Features of Wadi Al Namar: 🌊 Artificial Lake & Waterfalls – A scenic man-made lake with small waterfalls that give the place a refreshing atmosphere. 🌴 Walking & Cycling Paths – Long, well-paved tracks for walking, jogging, or cycling along the water. 🏞️ Picnic Spots – Plenty of open spaces and shaded areas where people bring mats and enjoy meals outdoors. 🌅 Sunset Views – The cliffs and palm trees around the lake make sunset especially beautiful here. 🚗 Accessibility – Free entry, open 24 hours, with parking spaces available. Things to Do: Family picnics and barbecue (many visitors bring their own food). Evening strolls or jogging along the lit pathways. Relaxing by the lake and enjoying the cool breeze. Photography – especially during sunset or at night with the reflections on the water. 👉 It’s best to visit in the late afternoon or evening, when the weather is cooler and the atmosphere feels lively with families.

Nice ‘oasis’ in an otherwise concrete and desert city. Peaceful, chilled out atmosphere. Very hot during summer, so try to go in the evening or during ‘winter’ time. No waterfall in summer either! Hard to find an uber/bolt/Careem or any other taxi back from here - a bit out of the way and you might have a bit of a wait until someone accepts your fare! Also, I hear it is packed with locals during Id and so gets crowded. Fish in the pond including some large catfish! Ok for a quick visit, but is far from Riyadh city centre.

A beautiful natural escape near Riyadh! The waterfall view was truly refreshing and peaceful. Surrounded by rocks and greenery, it’s a great place to relax, take photos, and enjoy some quiet time in nature. The sound of the water and the cool breeze made it a perfect spot for a quick getaway from the city. Highly recommended for nature lovers looking for something close to Riyadh! ❤️❤️❤️

It’s good water body in the Riyadh city. Bit outside of the city. Although the place in itself is good, the traffic around this place is bad. Took 30 minutes just to get my uber to get me covering 50m from where the parking starts to pic up point. Parking is on both sides of the road. Not much to do here if you’re a tourist. Mostly local families come here for picnic.

Beautiful and relaxing spot in Riyadh 🌿💧. The waterfall and lake make it a great place for a family picnic and evening walk. It’s peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect to enjoy nature. Tip: bring your own food and water since options around are limited
