Riyadh

Riyadh, the capital city of Saudi Arabia, is located on the great limestone plateau of the Najd region.

It is the site of Saudi Arabia’s roots, as well as the birthplace of its ambitious future. Fascinating old historical souqs thrive alongside a vibrant metropolis and sites of natural and ancient beauty.

With numerous art galleries and historic places to explore, it is a perfect destination for cultural enthusiasts.

Don’t miss:

• Diriyah – a town on the edge of Riyadh, home to one of Saudi Arabia’s UNESCO Heritage sites and a center of Saudi Arabia’s rich history.
• Al Masmak Fortress – a vast clay and mud-brick citadel built in 1865
• Sky Bridge at Kingdom Centre – take the high-speed lift to the 99th floor of the iconic Kingdom Centre for access to Riyadh’s best urban panorama;
• Saudi National Museum – a must-visit location, with more than 3,700 antiquities on display, documenting the grand history of Saudi Arabia over millennia;
• Souq Al Zal – the city’s most famous market. Open since 1901, it is still a treasure trove for oriental and traditional Saudi Arabian items
