ALIF Riad : Study/Culture Center

The inspiring and tranquil space has been set up as a sanctuary from the hussle and bussle of the medina for ALIF students and members of Friends of ALC scheme as a meeting point, research centre and venue for cultural activities. Offering wifi, quiet spaces, national and international press, reference books, spiced coffee and a program of cultural happenings, ALIF Riad is a haven to be experienced.

I think that this is an excellent development, however the closure of the facility for 2 hours in the middle of the day will dissuade many people from using the facility. An unbroken opening timespan would be much better.
Thanks for the feedback, it is all logged and considered. Have you visited ALIF Riad yet?
