Executions used to take place on Friday mornings at 9AM, but not every week, and no notice was given in advance. Beware that any Westerners nearby have been known to be taken to the front row and forced to watch the whole thing, in order to further shame the condemned. It is forbidden to take photos of executions or to record videos of them. Source: [Wikivoyage](https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Riyadh) ## How to visit Admission not confirmed.
