About the destination

Riyadh is the capital and largest city in Saudi Arabia, boasting a population of approximately 5 million people. The city is experiencing rapid growth, with new skyscrapers, international dining options, hotels, shopping centers, and modern offices popping up all over. Despite being a major hub for business, Riyadh has managed to maintain a balance between its cultural heritage, traditional values, and economic expansion. The historical heart of Riyadh, Al-Murabba, offers several intriguing sites worth exploring, such as the King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre, which houses the National Museum and the Murabba Palace. The city's center, Al-Bathaa, is the oldest part of Riyadh. Al Bathaa is home to the city's bus station, post office, and the bustling Batha souk. The Faisaliya Tower, one of the city's two iconic towers, offers a variety of attractions, including a viewing platform, a small photography gallery, and a café known as the Top. Riyadh is a city of luxury and prosperity, nestled in the heart of the Arab world. Its unique urban landscape, characterized by a blend of modernity and tradition, makes it a true marvel of the modern world.
