Thumamah Park offers a welcome break
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 10 - 2008

THE fall months are here and it is time for Saudis and expatriates to re-discover the parks Kingdom-wide. Parks provide a welcome break from the usual malls and amusement centers; youngsters can exercise and play, while the elders can relax and reflect on perhaps a hard day at work and or think about future plans yet to be realized.
At a short distance of only 45 Km Saudi from Riyadh, there is the beautiful and well organized Thumamah Resort. It is not only a remarkable park, but also a resort as it offers numerous facilities to be enjoyed.
Coming from Riyadh, you go to Thumamah Resort and Park by following the Takhasusi Road past Imam Mohammad University about 10 Km before reaching King Khaled International Airport where the resort lies. The resort has extended its activities just outside the entrance by allowing very small race cars to be operated by the young. The first sign that you are nearing the Resort is the race cars and a number of large tires on both sides of the road. Eleven-year-old Ahmed said, “I really enjoy racing with my friends and I can practice my driving skills for the future”. Once past these areas, ponies may be rented for rides. Thumamah Resort proper may be reached by traveling straight ahead where the park opens up to picnic areas and fun rides. The semi-desert area is perfect for families to camp out and enjoy their food and drinks.
“I bring my young brother here every weekend when the weather is good and when my parents wants to be left to their personal activities”, says Ahmed Shharany. “We also have time to enjoy each others company,” he added.
The Thumamah Resort and Park is a must-see during the fall months to enjoy a landscape which is peaceful and yet filled with activities for the entire family.
