Al Faw Palace District

A civic and diplomatic quarter of central Riyadh where several ministries and government headquarters cluster along broad landscaped avenues. Laid out in the modern expansion of the capital, it contains monumental public buildings set behind gardens and ceremonial gates. The wide boulevards and formal planting reflect the planned character of Riyadh's later growth. While access to individual buildings is restricted, the district's ordered avenues and public squares give a sense of the administrative heart of the kingdom.
