This editorial aerial photograph looks northward along the grand corridor of Olaya Street in central Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, capturing the Saudi capital's vast urban expanse beneath a hazy desert sky. The iconic Al Faisaliah Tower and the distinctive arched profile of Kingdom Centre Tower are clearly visible rising above the surrounding city in the middle distance, while the dense grid of commercial and residential buildings stretches to the horizon in every direction. Wide arterial roads and the lower-rise commercial districts of the city's foreground frame the image, conveying the extraordinary scale of one of the Middle East's fastest-growing capitals.
