Surrounded by distinctive high walls on the eastern side of Prophet's Mosque. During normal times people can be seen flocking the viewing platform just for a peep over the grill and saying some prayers but due to Covid 19 pandemic no entry to the viewing platform allowed. Or at least that's what happened to us few times we tried during the National Day long weekend.

Masmak Fort museum is must to see. The Fort is built from clay and mud-brick, it has four watchtowers and thick walls. The fort is lying in the center of the old quarters of Riyadh. Masmak played a major part in the kingdom's history; it gives a nice introduction to the beginnings of the Saudi Arabia. Admission is free. There is a small gift store with handmade native gifts.

Walking in the balad area will take you back to the traditional arab times and while walking in the street you can feel it. Old building, markets and all the modern outlets are there. Also a good place for shopping. In the evening the place is full of people and tourists.

Madain Salih is not only Nabataean tombs. Yes, they are wonderful(but closed til about October 2020). It's the whole region, actually vast parts of Northwest Saudi-Arabia which is just a secret full of mountain desert landscapes of incredible beauty. And you have it for yourself! It's easy to rent a car (we took Hanco in Tabuk, one way rentals easily possible) and explore Saudi-Arabia on your own. Do it asap, because now you can feel like a pioneer! Saudi-Arabia is perfectly safe, amazingly cheap and its people incredibly hospitable!
