Situated at the centre of the Arabian Peninsula, Riyadh is the capital and largest city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. With these titles in mind, explore the regal and renewed Riyadh for yourself with SUITCASE's city guide.
01 May, 2018
With a dramatically complex history, over the years Riyadh has transformed into a booming, albeit isolated, metropolis. Standing as the political and financial capital of Saudi Arabia, it has become one of the wealthiest cities in the world. While it may appear modernised thanks to vertiginous skyscrapers and an international dining scene springing out of the desert, it is deeply rooted Islamic culture and conservative values and tradition. Expect different seating areas for men and women in restaurants, different opening times of museums and different dress expectations.
