The sha'ib is located in the Al-Uraija Al-Wusta neighborhood and is one of the natural tributaries of Wadi Hanifa. The site underwent development and rehabilitation works within the initiatives of the Riyadh Green Project, including its reconfiguration according to environmental and engineering standards that contributed to preserving its natural components, upgrading the urban landscape, and providing a suitable environment for sports and recreational activities.

The sha'ib includes a network of walking, running, and cycling paths, along with a sports bridge with a modern design that is one of the most prominent landmarks of the site, as it provides panoramic views along the valley.

Trees and plants suitable for the local environment are spread throughout the sha'ib, in addition to waterfalls and water bodies that give the place a distinctive natural character. It also includes service facilities such as seating areas and restrooms, providing a comfortable environment that accommodates various groups of visitors wishing to stroll, exercise, or spend time in the lap of nature.
