dpreview > HIM2  > Travel > Riyadh
Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, home to one of the most conservative cultures on earth. Despite public photography being somewhat difficult, over time I will be attempting to highlight some images illustrating some of the main characteristics and features of this unique city. However it is no accident there are limited people shots on this gallery!

This gallery is a project in progress and will be building it up gradually so be sure to return!
