Check out new photos of Lionel Messi and his family visit to At-Turaif.
During their tour to Saudi Arabia, Argentinian football great Lionel Messi and his family went to the 300-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site in Diriyah called At-Turaif.
Additionally, he visited some of Riyadh's more cutting-edge attractions.
On the outskirts of Riyadh, At-Turaif is a medieval city that was founded in the 15th century.
When the football player from Paris Saint-Germain arrived in the Kingdom, he went on a guided tour of Diriyah and dined at Al-Bujairi Terrace.

Messi and his family were able to spend valuable time together at VIA Riyadh, a new luxury destination in the Saudi capital, and Boulevard Riyadh City, two of the city's most cutting-edge entertainment and shopping areas.
Messi smiled for photos with a white falcon on his arm while the family visited the Arabian Horse Museum and socialized with purebred Arabian horses.
Messi's wife Antonella Roccuzzo donned a traditional Saudi Hama—a decorative headdress often worn by ladies from the Najdi area of the Kingdom—during the visit.
