Rising 302 metres over Riyadh, the Kingdom Centre remains a defining feature of the city's skyline. Its most distinctive element is the 56-metre Sky Bridge, connecting the tower's two peaks on the 99th floor. High-speed elevators transport visitors to this vantage point, which offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the capital through secure glass panels. The complex also houses the world's second-highest mosque and the Al-Mamlaka shopping centre. For the clearest perspective, a daytime visit is recommended to avoid the crowds that gather for the illuminated evening spectacle.

The National Anthropology Museum consists of permanent and temporary exhibitions of Mexican art, life and culture.

Plan at least two hours to explore the thematic halls of this museum. There are enough exhibits to keep you coming back for days, though.

Today, the Way of the Cross leads to the hill with fourteen small chapels and each designates one station of the Way. The modern appearance of the church of Our Lady of Carmel is the work of Nikola Bašić, an architect from Zadar.
