Why fly to Riyadh?
Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, is a city of contrasts - where age-old traditions meet a fast-changing skyline. From its towering skyscrapers to the historic streets of the old town, there’s a lot to take in.
What can you do in Riyadh?
You can explore the National Museum to get a real feel for the country’s past, then wander through local souks where the scent of spices fills the air and shelves are stacked with handmade goods and colourful fabrics. Hungry? Local spots serve up bold, comforting Saudi dishes that pack in serious flavour.
If you're keen to get out of the city, the desert’s right on your doorstep. Think sand dunes, open skies and a proper taste of the wilderness. And landmarks like Masmak Fortress add another layer to the story, offering a closer look at the city’s roots.
So whether you're after culture, history or a bit of off-road adventure, Riyadh’s ready when you are.
