Al Thumamah National Park, just an hour away from Riyadh, is the best spot for hikers, desert sunset chasers and someone looking to get some Lawrence of Arabia feels for a day.

Don’t believe us?

Check out these awesome photos!

The Twitter page, World Urban Parks, even featured it on their account.

It’s a popular weekend destination for those looking to take in the desert life

Just an hour away from the Kingdom’s capital city

Its dry and rocky formations have made it a favorite for nighttime campers too

…and a spot for our furry friends to freely roam around

Little tents are usually set up in different places (where shisha is a popular pastime)

and lots of delicious barbecues are enamored

Families both tourists and locals alike have adorned this desert park with their presence

and devoured many a kabsas and mandi

So if you haven’t been yet…

then you’re truly missing out.
