Riyadh,
which lies in the central region, is the capital city of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia and now rivals any modern city in the world in the
splendor of its architecture. Broad highways sweep through the city,
passing over or under each other in an impressive and still growing road
network. Trees now bedeck the broad streets and avenues, giving
pleasure to passers-by and shade to those who linger beneath them. Today
the city extends for some 600 square miles (1600 square kilometers) and
has a population of more than 4.7 million.
The name Riyadh is derived from the Arabic word meaning a place of gardens and trees ("rawdah"). With many "wadis" (a former water course, now dry) in the vicinity, Riyadh has been, since antiquity, a fertile area set in the heartland of the Arabian Peninsula
