Wadi Namer Waterfall - Riyadh

Wadi Namer Waterfall is a natural water park located in Wadu Hanifah, Riyadh and has been developed over the years to attract tourists. This desert oasis is the favorite spot for many picnickers.

Landscape and Activities

This lake is a good spot to visit with family and friends in order to spend quality time. People often plan picnics and arrange barbeques at a short distance away as they are not allowed near the lake. The area is filled with greenery and palm trees beside the sidewalks and there are hills surrounding the lake. All of this makes the landscape even more pleasing to the eye. 

An electronic water pump has also been installed in the lake. The waterfall beside the lake is a beautiful sight, especially at night when viewed from the WadiNamar promenade when all the lights are lit up. Some ducks and fish can be seen swimming around in the water. There is enough area for families to play sports and ride bicycles. Other facilities such as food stalls and restrooms are also available. Locals especially enjoy this place as it is one of the few natural lakes in Riyadh, so the area can get a little busy and crowded on weekends.

Visiting the lake

Entrance to the lake is free. In summers, many people prefer to visit after 5 pm when the weather is milder. Some people even plan to stay overnight as the lake remains open 24 hours a day. However, if you want to view the water, it is best to go during daylight as it will not be clearly visible after sunset. People living in Riyadh will find it a good escape from their daily routines.
