both males and females. Western travelers The people of Unaizah are well known for their hospitality and acceptance for people from other races and religions. The famous Charles Montagu Doughty lived in the city during his odyssey and wrote highly about the city. Amin al-Rihani (the famous Franco-Lebanese scholar and traveler) spoke highly of the city's architecture and works of art in his book "Kings of Arabia" likening it to Paris thereby coining the nickname "Paris of Najd" for the city. Tourism There are twelve tourist festivals and activities recognized by the Saudi Commission for Tourism & Antiquities, and a calendar has been made for these events. The tourist attractions in Unaizah range from festivals to private meetings in family ranches. Some of the most notable venues in which festivals are held are the following: Almusawkaf Onaizah Mall Othaim Mall Al-Ghada Park Al Bassam Mansion, a traditional house and a private museum Al Hajeb Parks Al Hamdan House, a traditional house and a private museum Asia Resort and Park Dream Land, the largest theme park in Al Qassim Province and reportedly the Central Region Judaida Local Market King Fahd Cultural Center The Roman amphitheater Salih Bin Salih Cultural Center The Unaizah House for Traditional Legacy Caravanserai Museum, a little museum of antiques, family memories, traditional things, and historical stories There are five hotels in Unaizah, two of which are currently under construction, in addition to the rental apartments and suites distributed all around the city: Al Fahd Crown (under construction) Golden Tulip (under construction) Radisson Blu Hotel (under construction) Onaizah Hotel Boudl Although Unaizah is thought to be relatively more accepting of visitors than its neighbors, its tourism industry faces criticism for a number of reasons. One such criticism is its disregard for infrastructure maintenance. Culture Religion All of the Saudi citizens of Unaizah are Sunni Muslim with a small minority of Dharmic religions, (mostly Hinduism) brought and practiced in the city by Asian workers (mainly Indians). As the rest of Saudi Arabian cities, non-Islamic worship houses are not allowed. The majority of the city's inhabitants are socially conservative. One of Saudi Arabia's leading religious clerics Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen was a student of the Sheikh Abd ar-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Sa'di, an Unaizah native. Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen was born and raised in Unaizah. He lived in Unaizah where many mosques have been built and named after him. Cuisine The
