The National Museum of Saudi Arabia in the vicinity of Riyadh City Center, Bathah in Murabba, could be the first choice for a tourist to begin with his tour of Riyadh. Excelling in architectural design and serene landscaping make it an amusing experience.
An amazing fact behind this museum is that the museum building, collections and displays had been created from scratch over a mere 26 months, working constantly to the deadline of the January 1999 centennial celebration. It was the result of an international design competition that it proudly won.
