Does any one has some idea where all the lakes in Riyadh are located?

She is not sharing the coordinates of the location . I have checked the website. asking to buy her book...
I think it was their earlier ... but it has been removed and now pay to know the co-ordinates....
If you find it, please let me know... The last update from the blog was in 24th January mentioning that its full of clean water... Me too interested going there...
You can go there. It's risky though coz of stippy rocks..not recommended for kids..

but it hope you are not talking about kharraj lake.
So far it seems the location of this lake is outside North of Riyadh. Kharaj is outside South of Riyadh.
am not sure if you are familiar with riyadh, because kharj is not even remotely close to thumamah, it's on the very opposite sideز

may be this one
I went both Secret Lake/Blue abaya lake (24.657708N, 46.450631E near Dhahrat Al Laban) and Kararah Lake (24.406145N, 46.244322E near Muzahmiya) last week and it's completely dry.
Secret Lake/Blue abaya lake:
===========================
It is located in the mountain area. You'll find lots of butchers selling meat. All are Sudanese/Ethiopians. When asked about Secret Lake, one of them told me that water gets collected ONLY when it rains but as of now there is no such lake (only rocks). I don't recommend this place to visit because of the dangerous driveway. I forgot to take pictures but I'll upload a similar picture just to make you understand how the roadway is.
Kararah Lake :
===============
There are traces of lake existence but it is completely dry. Although this place is being used as desert safari for FJ's and Land Cruisers. I saw a lot of families visiting and to be frank I loved this place.
