Discover Riyadh

 
Riyad, Saudi Arabia's capital city, is a vibrant and culturally rich destination full of historic sites and modern attractions. Located in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula, Ar Riyad is close to many popular tourist destinations such as Qasr Al-Hikma, the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, and King Abdullah Financial District - home to some of the city's most impressive skyscrapers. For those seeking a bit more adventure, visitors can explore the nearby desert oases or take a camel ride through one of Riyadh's many sand dunes.

For a glimpse into Riyadh's history, tourists can explore Al Masmak Fortress - where in 1902 Abdulaziz ibn Saud successfully reclaimed Riyadh from his rivals. Today it stands as an iconic reminder of this important event in Riyadh's history. Other historical sites include Diriyah Square - once home to 18th-century palaces and fortifications - as well as Murabba Palace - another famous landmark that once served as Abdulaziz ibn Saud's family home.
