WAY OF LIFE
THE CHAPTER 71

Dafina and Claura got off the taxi that drove them to the Diriyah Museum. The two of them walked to the ticket booth to buy a ticket into the museum.

"Who bought the ticket?"

"Lu aja, Clau. Make my credit card." Dafina gave her credit card to Claura.

"Okay, wait here." Claura walked into the queue.

Dafina looked around at the museum she was visiting. Actually, he found out about this museum from the internet. Yesterday he was browsing that. After ten minutes waiting for Claura to buy the entrance ticket, Claura finally returned with two tickets.

"Now credit card lo." Claura gave back the credit card to the owner. "And here's our ticket in" Claura said.

"We went straight into the museum." Claura agreed.

Diriyah stretches over a vast expanse of mixed terrain, scenery, and scenery that curious travelers can enjoy, exploring, listening, and peeking at, appreciating the effect it brings.

One of the most important open-air tourist destinations in the region, the Al Bujairi neighborhood is distinguished by its meandering alleys and low mud houses. It was the same place that housed the house of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulwahab, the famous cleric and theologian of Najd.

The museums in Diriyah, four of which are inside the At-Turaif Quarter, offer an interactive experience through time and culture, showcasing some of the most fascinating objects of Saudi history.

The Diriyah Museum is dedicated to Diriyah's rich heritage, the museum inside the Salwa Palace showcases the history of the first Saudi state through a collection of informational materials, such as royal family genealogies, models and illustrations, in addition to exhibitions and heritage pieces.

The Saudi Museum of Daily Life

The museum provides a glimpse into the daily lives of the Diriyah natives with exhibits that echo local memories and fragments of stories, customs, traditions, and growing nostalgia.

Military Museum

The Military Museum focuses on the military side of the kingdom, highlighting the tools of war, fighting and many aspects of war at that time including the treasury and displays about the defense status of Diriyah at that time.

The Arabian Horse Museum

Intended to explore the important history of the Arabian horses, its influence and its unique relationship with the nobility throughout time. The museum also displays the passports of the royal family's Arabian horses and the influence of horses on many aspects of life, ranging from war, transportation, and sports. There is also an outdoor horse stable where visitors can interact and raise horses. 

After touring all the museums here, Dafina admitted that she was amazed at the Diriyah Museum, a former palace famous for its mud brick architecture, which has stood for 250 years. Its hidden location in the narrow valley of Wadi Hanifah makes it a former home of Al Bujairi is avoided from outside influences that have the potential to damage its authenticity.

The two of them were accompanied by a guide who was in the museum to explain anything that was inside the Diriyah Museum, such as history, buildings, royal times, etc.

“Perhaps the harsh climate treats this oasis of mud-brick houses and fortifications a little more hospitable than other historical heritage sites in the desert? Or is it ancient mud brick building methods, which cause little or no harm to the environment and work in harmony with the natural capabilities of the local ecology, touger than modern architectural technology?" dafina said to their guide.

(Maybe the harsh climate treats this oasis of mud brick houses and forts a little more hospitable than other historic heritage sites in the desert? Or is the ancient mud brick building method, which causes little or no damage to the environment and works in harmony with the natural capacities of the local ecology, more resilient than modern architectural technology?)

"I don't often find examples left of complete homogeneous urban settlements that prosper in desert environments. In that case, Diriyah could be categorized as very rare,” Claura said.

"You don't want to find examples of complete homogeneous urban settlements that are prospered in desert environments. In that sense, Diriyah was extremely rare. If you can find any lasting examples of that settlement then you're in luck" the guide replied.

(You can't often find the remaining examples of a complete homogeneous urban settlement that prospered in a desert environment. In that case, Diriyah was extremely rare. If you can find any remaining examples of those settlements then you're lucky).

The Diriyah, made up almost entirely of mudbrick, was abandoned in 1818, when the Ottoman army attacked, forcing the residents to emigrate to Riyadh and abandon the remnants of their former capital. English writer Robert Lacey likens Diriyah to "Pompeii blown by sand," describing her as "a lasting reminder of the limits of possibility."

The two of them nodded in understanding about what was explained from the two humans. The museum was instantly so crowded with increased care becoming tight. Lots of visitors who run to a place that is not known to see what.

"Excuse me sir, what is this? Why is the guard tighter and why are the other visitors running over there?" claura asked curiously.

(Sorry sir, what is this? Why is the guard tighter and why are other visitors running over there?)

"Members of the Arab Kingdom and Dubai are visiting here, so security is tighter to protect them."

(Members of the Arab Kingdom and Dubai visit here, so care is more tightened to keep them.)

"Aah so." Claura nodded in understanding. "Then can I go there? I want to see the members of the Kingdom" Claura said.

(Then can I go there? I want to see members of the Kingdom).

"Of course you can go there if you want. But please keep your distance from them."

(Of course you can go there if you want. But please keep your distance from them.)

Claura gave her thumbs up. "Sip boss. Just relax."

Claura pulls Dafina's arm out of the Arabian Horse Museum. Dafina who was pulled by his arm could only follow.

"Slow Clauraaa, watch my wrists red," dumel Dafina patted Claura's hand pulling her arm.

"Hehehehe sorry." Claura shouts innocence. Claura removed her hand from Dafina's wrist after reaching her destination.

"Why did I come here? What is so crowded here too? I again took a picture of it before," said Dafina who was confused to see museum visitors standing here.

"There are members of the Kingdom who came to this museum. They might want to see the members of the Kingdom coming here" Claura replied.

"Gue is just as rich as they are dear. I want to see the members of the royal family coming. Who knows if there is a cogan then single, sabi time I embrace hahaha."

Dafina shook her head in surprise with this one friend of hers. Where is his sanity now?

"Yes, you've already handed over. You are here if I want to go back to that place," said Dafina.

"Why are you going there?"

"Gue wants to take another photo. Not all of my photos are in this museum. Make memories and add to my insight about Diriyah. I've been bye bestie." Dafina stepped away leaving Claura alone. The girl returned to the Arabian Horse Museum to take photos of the remaining items from the well-equipped homogeneous urban settlement that prospered in this desert environment.

After taking the desired picture from the Arab Horse Museum, Dafina exited the museum and walked around the museum while looking at the pictures she had taken during the tour.

"Sorry miss, if you look ahead, don't look at the camera, you will fall" said someone commemorating Dafina. Dafina turned her gaze and attention to the source of the voice.

(Sorry miss, if you look ahead don't look at the camera and fall).

Dafina looked at the man before her. He seemed to recognize the man's eyes but nowhere. "Oh yeah, thanks for telling me."

"Daphina? You're right Dafina aren't you?" The man asked her.

Dafina nodded. "That's right, I'm Dafina. Sorry, but who are you?" Dafina became more alert when someone knew her. Is he a journalist? Or maybe Dispatch is blinding her?

(It is true that I am Dafina. Sorry, but who are you?)

"It's me, Faza," said the man. Faza lowered his mask for the girl to remember him.

(It's me, Faza).

"The square? Which Faza is it?" Dafina tried to remember the name Faza. Did he ever meet someone named Faza?

(Fazais? Which faza is it?)

"Prince Faza's. We met and chatted in Dubai when you and your group performed representing Indonesia and South Korea" Faza said.

(Prince Faza. We met and chatted in Dubai when you and your group represented Indonesia and South Korea).

"Faza Faza Prince Faza..," muttered Dafina trying to remember the name. "YEAH, I REMEMBER!"

"Sorry, what are you talking about?"

(Sorry what are you talking about?)

Dafina shook her hand, "No just forget it. Ah, it turns out that you are Prince Faza, who I met a few days ago. Sorry prince, I forgot about you. Really, I guess you're one of the reporters, fans, or hatters" Dafina said apologizing for not remembering.

(No, forget it. Ah it turns out you are Prince Faza whom I met a few days ago. Sorry prince, I forgot about you. Really, I guess you're one of the reporters, fans, or hatters).

"It's okay, I've forgiven you. By the way, what are you doing?"

(It's okay, I've forgiven you. By the way, what are you doing here?)

"I'm going to visit one of the museums in Arabia before returning to Korea, Prince."

(I was visiting one of the museums in Arabia before returning to Korea, Prince.)

"Just alone?" Dafina.

"No. I was with my manager, Claura. Earlier she went there she said she wanted to see the members of the Kingdom who came here" replied Dafina.

(No. I'm with my manager, Claura. He went there he said he wanted to see the members of the Kingdom who came here).

"You don't want to see it too?"

"nots. Besides, if I have to go there I don't necessarily see it because it's already closed by people."

(No. Partly if I have to go there not necessarily I see it because it has been closed by people.)

"Do you have time today?" The Prince of Dubai asked Dafina.

(Do you have time today?)

"I have free time today. Why prince?"

(I have some free time today. Why the prince?)

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
