Construction on the King Abdullah Gardens (KAGA) is advancing rapidly, marking significant progress on one of Riyadh’s most prominent environmental initiatives.
With major structural elements and key facilities already completed, the project aims to dramatically expand the capital’s green spaces and enhance overall quality of life.
Spanning more than two million square metres, KAGA ranks among the world’s three largest covered botanical gardens. The expansive site features a diverse array of environments, including water, desert and floral gardens, alongside dedicated areas for birds, reptiles and children.
Enhancing its scientific and educational value, the project includes a botanical museum and a gene bank. It also offers integrated recreational facilities, such as a valley promenade, observation towers and event spaces.
These are complemented by cafés, markets and playgrounds, creating a comprehensive environment that encourages visitor engagement with nature.
The KAGA project reflects Riyadh’s broader development vision, establishing a sustainable urban destination that seamlessly integrates environmental, cultural and educational experiences.
