I miss the days of fishing for hours by the lake. Someone let me know where I can do this in Riyadh. Thanks in advanced

There are no lakes in riydh  unfortunately

ghadeeroas

you are in the middle of the desert bro . You could find that on Dammam or Khobar 4.5 h away by train .

Hi

The closed area is Dammam ( 3 hrs driving ).

Ammario, the lake in al salam park is too small not for fishing :)

Try wadi e namar or Wadi e laban

Actually you can, Salam Park has fishing, I've seen many people fishing there. Also, I'll try to think of the name, there is a gorge / reservoir that I've seen people fishing at, quite a nice place in the evening.

try wadi hanifa park, and look for the wider manmade river

You can go to wadi Hanifa on the southern side, i did a lot of fishing there, once i even caught a 3.5 feet cat fish.  wadi e namar or Wadi-e-laban are also other options

Hahaha what a question!!
Riyadh is actually located in the middle of the desert. lol
You can go to Farasan Islands, they are located in the far southern part of the country (Saudi Arabia)

Alhair ,nemar,synaia and salam all have lakes for fishing

The duration is based on Saudi Driving Speed Standard!  :D

In Dammam go to Jazeera Al Murjan (Coral Island) the bridge / pier to the island is a very good place to fish. I go there very often from Riyadh.
