The Diplomatic Quarter is filled with embassies and residential compounds, plus dining options from fast-food chains to upscale European and Middle Eastern restaurants. A walking trail around the area passes parks such as grassy Tuwaiq Garden and offers views of Wadi Hanifah valley. The King Salman Science Oasis explores topics like robotics and biotechnology with hands-on displays.

I had the privilege of sharing a bit of time with H.E. Mark Donovan @AusAmbKSA to see the unique appeal of the #diplomaticquarter through the eyes of a well traveled leader. He impressed upon me again the importance of #nature #community and #Sustainability

I have a new #hero I’d like you to meet. This is Eng. Mansour Albakr…the very first landscaping architect of the DQ! He shared the original vision of the team to create a #natural and #sustainable environment at a time when the rest of the world embraced steel and glass.

I am always educated by our diplomatic leaders in the #diplomaticquarter. This time I was educated on the opportunities that our Egyptian ambassador can see for the further development of #sustainability as a common value for all of the people represented in our unique community.
