Al Urubah Park Hosts a New Chapter of Riyadh Meetings
Even before its official opening, Al Urubah Park hosted the second session of Riyadh Meetings 2026, held by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, where experts and stakeholders explored how Nature, green infrastructure and sustainable investment can shape the city’s future and quality of life.
In Saudi Arabia, the majlis is a tradition deeply rooted in local culture: a space for gathering, exchanging ideas and strengthening connections within the community.
That tradition continues through Riyadh Meetings 2026, the initiative of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) that brings together business leaders, investors and other stakeholders to exchange perspectives on the city’s future.

From an earlier gathering at Snøhetta’s Qasr Al Hukm Metro Station, where discussions explored how Riyadh can continue to grow while preserving its identity, to the latest meeting at Al Urubah Park, the dialogue has shifted towards Nature, green infrastructure and sustainable urban development. Titled “Environment and Rural Investment”, the second session of the 2026 edition brought together experts, specialists, environmental and investment stakeholders and representatives of the relevant entities.
Designed by LAND as part of the Green Riyadh programme, Al Urubah Park is approaching completion. Yet it is already fulfilling one of its most important purposes: bringing people together and creating opportunities for dialogue and exchange, even before officially welcoming the public.
Watch the video below to discover the spirit of the majlis and how it comes to life at Al Urubah Park.
The recent meeting offered a glimpse into the park’s future as a vibrant public landscape, where Nature becomes a catalyst for social interaction, community life and a renewed relationship between people and their environment. Bringing this vision to life is a collective effort, made possible through the collaboration of Green Riyadh, LAND, Schiattarella, IDOM and AlYamama Company.

As Al Urubah Park takes shape, it reminds us that the success of a public space is measured not only by its environmental performance or landscape design, but also by the connections it creates.
Because a park truly comes to life when people begin to make it their own.
