If you enjoy exploring outdoor spots around Riyadh, here’s one to keep in mind. Wadi Umm Qasr Walkway is now open on Aishah Bint Abi Bakr Road in Al Uraija Al Wusta, so if you feel like going for a family walk in the evening or a bike ride, you now know the location. The area is open to everyone, and entry is free, so you can simply stop by whenever you’re in the mood for some air.
Some people come for a relaxed stroll, others pick up the pace, and kids often bring their bikes or scooters along. The path is wide, so walkers, cyclists, and families can all enjoy it comfortably.
Wadi Umm Qasr Walkway runs beside a lake, which makes the whole route feel calmer than a typical city street. It’s an easy place to slow down for a bit. After sunset, the walkway is fully illuminated, and the area becomes especially pleasant for an evening outing.
If you like discovering new corners of Riyadh, this walkway is definitely worth your attention. And if you’re in the mood to continue the evening somewhere lively, you might also want to check out this new street food destination with open-air dining at historic Al-Zal Souq.
