Riyadh Holidays

The capital of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh. It is located in the centre of the kingdom and presents an image of contrasts. The business district is typically modern with architectural skyscrapers of concrete and glass. The Old Town is in the neighbourhood of Diriyah where the ruined, mud-brick fortress of Al-Turaif is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Accommodation choices include luxury hotels or self-catering apartments. Sophisticated shopping malls include the Kingdom Centre Tower and the Panorama Mall. The city has several green spaces, and there are also organised excursions to the local Riyadh Desert for quad biking.
