I think that is the Tuwaijiri house we used to pass every day. I recognize the trees. When I first moved to that area they used to have hearts and stars carved into the trees. Can you post pics of that beautiful masjid on exit 10. It is near the Prince Salman Center. It lights up beautifully at night.

Actually, I do have photos of the outside of that masjid and I will post them insha'Allah. If you mean the one with the four palaces across from McDonalds. Sorry, the family that lives here are not Tuwaijiri. The villa is located off of Khalid ibn Walid St.

All I know is that everytime we passed that area there was the most horrible smell. The sewer was backed up so much that grass and trees used to grow there. It was hell driving around there. I remember there was a nice man that worked at the bakallah named Mustafa. He was able to speak English.

Oh are you talking about the palaces near that beautiful masjid? When we left one was still under construction. The place that I was talking about was of the villa pics you have. It is near Al rowad Arabic School

Sorry for the confusion. The villa is located off of Khalid in Walid on the eastern side of it near King Khalid stadium. It is on a side road across from an empty lot. So I think it is different from the one you are referring to, Allahu Alim.

However, the masjid with palaces is well known, yes the ones on Othman ibn Affan and Malik Abdullah. I would like to take some pics of the masjid inside, but they have cameras inside and out. Maybe I will ask the admin if I can take some of the inside. They have a wonderful library and they offer classes.
