I am planning to visit Riyadh soon. I have heard a lot about the Wadi Hanifah new riverside park. Is in in the city or in suburban areas? Is it possible to go and take photos of this site? Is it really an attraction spot in Riyadh as the media shows?
Also I would like o know if anyone can suggest a 3-4 star hotel in the city centre that most westerners go and it's a well-known English speaking tourist accommodation in Riyadh.

well, did u select riyadh as vacation trip, think again, however, wadi hanifah is normal place not so much as you have heard (i think), but i did not find any special attraction there. for hotels, u will find Marriott, Holiday Inn, Sheraton with english spoken personnels.

Wadi Hanifa is in fact a 120km strip in the outskirts of the city. Most part looks like below. Can't classify it as attractive even
