Riyadh
Riyadh (ree-YAHD; Arabic: الرياض, ar-Riyāḍ, lit. 'the Meadows') is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia. It is also the capital of the Riyadh Province and the centre of the Riyadh Governorate. Located on the eastern bank of Wadi Hanifa, the current form of the metropolis largely emerged in the 1950s as an offshoot of the 18th century walled town following the dismantling of its defensive fortifications.
