Olaya District (in Arabic: العليا) is a growing financial district in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Located in the north side of the city, it hosts important sites and famous local landmarks, such as the Kingdom Centre, which houses the Four Seasons luxury hotel. It will also contain Al Rajhi Tower, which, upon its completion, will be the tallest building in Saudi Arabia.
Famous Landmarks
Kingdom Centre, the second tallest building in Saudi Arabia. It was opened in late 2001 with a height of 302m.
Riyadh (/rɨˈjɑːd/; Arabic: الرياض ar-RiyāḍNajdi pronunciation: [er.rɪˈjɑːdˤ], is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia. It is also the capital of Riyadh Province, and belongs to the historical regions of Najd and Al-Yamama. It is situated in the center of the Arabian Peninsula on a large plateau, and is home to 5.7 million people, and the urban centre of a region with a population of close to 7.3million people.
The city is divided into 15 municipal districts, managed by Riyadh Municipality headed by the mayor of Riyadh, and the Riyadh Development Authority, chaired by the governor of Riyadh Province, Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud. The current mayor of Riyadh is Abdullah bin Abdulrahman Almogbel, appointed in 2012. Riyadh has the largest all-female university in the world, the Princess Nora bint Abdul Rahman University. It has been designated a global city.
History
Early history
During the Pre-Islamic era the city at the site was called Hajr (Arabic:حجر), and was reportedly founded by the tribe of Banu Hanifa. Hajr served as the capital of the province of Al Yamamah, whose governors were responsible for most of central and eastern Arabia during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras. Al-Yamamah broke away from the Abbasid Empire in 866 and the area fell under the rule of the Ukhaydhirites, who moved the capital from Hajr to nearby Al Kharj. The city then went into a long period of decline. In the 14th century, North African traveller Ibn Battuta wrote of his visit to Hajr, describing it as "the main city of Al-Yamamah, and its name is Hajr". Ibn Battuta goes on to describe it as a city of canals and trees with most of its inhabitants belonging to Bani Hanifa, and reports that he continued on with their leader to Mecca to perform the Hajj.
Olaya Street is a business district within the city of Riyadh and it is consist most attractive buildings and landmark such the Kingdom Tower, Al Rajhi tower, various malls, and many more shops and restaurants along the streets.

Olaya Street Riyadh Saudi Arabia
The old town of Riyadh within the city walls did not exceed an area of 1 km2, and therefore very few significant architectural remnants of the original walled oasis town of Riyadh exist today.
The most prominent is the Masmak fort and some parts of the original wall structure with its gate which have been restored and reconstructed. There are also a number of traditional mud-brick houses within these old limits, but they are for the most part dilapidated.
Expansion outside the city walls was slow to begin with, although there were some smaller oases and settlements surrounding Riyadh. The first major construction beyond the walls was King Abdulaziz's Murabba Palace. It was constructed in 1936, completed in 1938, and a household of 800 people moved into it in 1938. The palace is now part o...

The palace is now part of a bigger complex called "The King Abdulaziz Historical Centre".
There are other traditional villages and towns in the area around traditional Riyadh which the urban sprawl reached and currently encompasses. These include Diriyah, Manfuha and Wadi Laban. Unlike in the early days of development in Riyadh during which vernacular structures were razed to the ground without consideration, there is a new-found appreciation for traditional architecture. The Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities is making efforts for revitalizing the historic architecture in Riyadh and other parts of the kingdom.
Kingdom Tower
The tower is built on 94,230 square metres of land. The Kingdom Tower has 99 stories and is the third tallest structure in the country rising to 300 m. A special aspect of the tower is that is divided into two parts in the last one third of its height and linked by a sky-bridge walkway, which provides stunning views of Riyadh.
Burj Rafal
Burj Rafal is the tallest skyscraper in Riyadh and towers 1,010 feet.
Al Faisaliyah Center
Al Faisaliyah Centre (Arabic: برج الفيصلية) is the first skyscraper constructed in Saudi Arabia, and is the third tallest building in Riyadh. The golden ball that lies atop the tower is said to be inspired by a ballpoint pen, and contains a restaurant; immediately below this is an outside viewing deck. The Al Faisaliyah Tower has 44 stories.
Museums and collections
In 1999, a new central museum was built in Riyadh, at the eastern side of the King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre. The National Museum of Saudi Arabia combined several collections and pieces that had up until then been scattered over several institutions and other places in Riyadh and the Kingdom. For example, the meteorite fragment known as the "Camel's Hump" that was on display at the King Saud University in Riyadh became the new entry piece of the National Museum of Saudi Arabia.

I wish I was in your soul where you could feel me And you know I'd always be apart of you And everything I'd feel and everything I'd be would always start with you If there were prices to pay Would you give it away? This world is so ugly and I've seen enough Sometimes I'd rather be blind or deaf But I would keep the sweet sounds of your unmistakable voice That keeps doing rounds in my head If there were prices to pay Would you give it away We were posing for pictures that were never taken And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down Without breaking down Surviving on my second chances I'm still scraping by on my memories And I will leave with you embellished words And fragmented dreams of these things When there were prices to pay Would you give it away We were posing for pictures that were never taken And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down Without breaking down Cause I'm lost in photographs with you Would you give yourself away We were posing for pictures that were never taken And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down
