Riyadh, sitting pretty in the heart of Arabia, gives you an authentic glimpse into the roots of Arabian culture.
With towering skyscrapers side by side with centuries-old palaces.
Roam around the city to see the Masmak fortress, showcased in the annals of history, or the sky-high Kingdom Centre Tower, representing the city's ambitions.
Deeply rooted in tradition, yet determined to move with the times, Riyadh brings together the best of both worlds. Walk through its busy streets, visit its top-notch shopping centres, and sip some Arabian coffee to feel the warmth of the region.
