Site details - Intercontinental Hotel, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The Intercontinental Hotel is contained in a 40 ha. compound in Al Maather Street, Riyadh. It has a nine hole (grass) golf course with several small lakes. I first visited in December 2011 and provided you followed normal golf course etiquette it seemed the staff and golfers were not bothered by a couple of birders wandering along the paths. Gate 6 is the best way to enter the course.

It would appear to be the best site in Riyadh for grey hypocolius particularly in the late afternoon when they arrive in large parties to roost in the ghaf trees.
