The Royal Saudi Air Force Museum, also known as Saqer Aljazirah, chronicles the history of military aviation in the kingdom from the 1920s to the present day. The museum is divided into two distinct sections: a large outdoor park displaying historic aircraft, including a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar that stands as a landmark near the ring road, and a modern indoor hall. Inside, exhibits trace the service's evolution through uniforms, weaponry, and interactive displays. For aviation enthusiasts, it offers a comprehensive look at the technological and strategic development of one of the nation's key military branches.

Al-Murabba Palace offers a direct insight into the life of King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Built just outside old Riyadh's walls, this square, mud-brick complex served as his official residence and the seat of government from 1938. Its design, centred around a large internal courtyard, reflects both traditional Najdi architecture and the need for privacy and security. The palace's 32 rooms, now a museum, display personal effects, historical photographs, and administrative offices, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal era in the nation's history.

At the foot of Kyōto's eastern mountains, Ginkaku-ji (Temple of the Silver Pavillion) was completed in 1490 by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa, and, much like its sibling Kinkaku-ji, it belongs to the Rinzai Zen sect. Despite still being known as the Silver Temple, the Shogun's goal of covering the building in leaf silver was never accomplished. Today, the wooden building is considered a prime example of the Japanese concept of 'wabi-sabi' (embracing imperfection).
