Polished

Another home with a blue tile roof in this neighborhood near the new financial district, very unusual for Riyadh. I also found it fascinating that their driveways are of polished stone, too.

Unusual gate and house, posted earlier:

"Polished" for sure, they need a path for walking on ! Hard to imagine this life style ! Very nicely captured Helen V

Beautifully ornate gate, plus the lovely blue roof. Also like the decorative tiling on the walls. These people have no idea that their homes are being admired around the world thanks to your artistry!

I can't imagine how much they spend on these houses with all the ornate detail.

stylish entrance, but I doubt I would get planning permission for one just like it; even deerproof
