User:Alwaha District Riyadh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Landmarks:

Alwaha district has three main landmarks:

  1. Al Owaidah mosque and castles: this is the most important landmark for both people in and out the district and that is because of its old age, significant architecture, location, and scale to other properties in the neighborhood
  2. Othman bin Affan mosque: since al Owaidah mosque lays in the neighborhood's corner many people go to this mosque for shorter commute

Nodes:

We defined these 5 locations as nodes because they create gathering points and are reference points to people living in Alwaha:

1. Alowaida Mosque: Gathering after Friday prayer

2. Othman bin Affan Mosque: gathering after each prayer 

3. Alwaha Park: family gathering location since it is the only park in the neighborhood

4. Fitness time: men and boys gather there for sports and people refer to it since it is a popular chain of gyms in riyadh

5. Fans up cafe: males enjoy watching games and sitting outdoors at night and specially in the winter time, it is popular for males inside and outside the district since its located on 2 streets.

Paths:

we identified these as paths because they lead to the mosque which creates a path, and the main path is the King Abdullah walkway which many people use for exercising.

Edges:

We have concluded that this is the edge of Alwaha district by locating districts near by to identify the area.
