We do not translate other languages for the names like that. If so, you need to translate Rihla, which means "trip". Try it like that: "The The Trip".

  My favorite attraction in the Los Angeles area - "the La Brea Tar Pits" which translates to "the the tar tar pits".

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_names https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tautological_place_nam... Apparently "Pendleton Hill" is either "Hill Hill Town Hill" or "Hill Hill Hill Hill" depending on what the root of the -ton was.

    That's a neat factoid but ignores why it's called that: it was originally part of the Rancho La Brea (which was named that for obvious reasons) land grant by the Spanish, and there are oil seeps in other areas of the LA basin. So if you want to refer to that (huge) one specifically, you more or less have to call it that.
