Wahat al-Nakheel, or One Hundred Palm Trees Park (Arabic: الواحة مائة نخلة, romanizedal-wāḥat miāʾiah naẖlat), officially known as the Palm Oasis (Arabic: واحة النخيل, romanizedal-wāḥat al-naẖīl), is an unfenced municipal garden located between al-Watan Park and al-Yamamah Park in the al-Fouta neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Inaugurated in 1999, the park is characterized with 100 date palm trees[1] that were planted to commemorate the centenary year of the Battle of Riyadh in 1902 and the subsequent establishment of the Emirate of Riyadh by Ibn Saud.[2][3] It is one of the eight municipal parks and gardens of the King Abdulaziz Historical Center and is located at the south-center of the compound, overlooking the King Saud Road and the Murabba Square in the National Museum Park.
