King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center

(My home away from home!)

Here's a little tour of the hospital campus. I had to get a photo permit in order to take these pictures.

King Faisal Specialist Hospital has a beautiful campus. There are beautiful fountains and lovely flowers throughout. This is the main entrance to the hospital grounds.


At night the fountain is beautifully lighted.


I never saw the palm pattern until I took this photo!


When you look at the flowers and trees you'd never believe that Riyadh is in the middle of the desert!


On the campus and throughout the city of Riyadh there are beautiful fountains.
King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center is a large and growing facility. For those of us who call it home, it is a largely self-contained facility.


The Amenities Center includes and indoor pool, a lending library, weight room (for the guys) and tennis courts.


There are several shops, including a computer store, video rental store, dry cleaner, photo processing store and car rental store (not for women, though!).


The Al Qussie Center has several shops (including Dunkin' Donuts & Cone Zone) as well as a small grocery store.


Bowling is available at the Al Qussie bowling center.


Your pay is deposited in this bank and is accessible by ATM. It's a full-sevice facility so you can exchange currency or transfer funds to the bank back home.


Here's the child-care center (for those who are here with their families). This picture was taken on one of the rare cloudy days.
