Things to See in Riyadh
Al Masmak Fort
This 19th century fort consists of four 18 metre towers surrounding an ancient castle. Hailed as an important site in Saudi Arabia’s history, it was here in 1902 at this architectural marvel that Ibn Saud led his troops to recapture the city of Riyadh and unify the country under one ruler.
Located in the Old Town, the fort is now a museum showcasing traditional Saudi living arrangements, costumes, and contains photo exhibits of historical places and civilisations within the kingdom.
Insider’s Tip: Entrance to the museum is free, but check days and times before arriving as there are specific times for men, women, and families.
Explore Outside the City
Escape the city in a 4×4 and head north to the Edge of the World, a surreal landscape of rocky cliffs overlooking a vast valley. Popular with lovers of the outdoors, the Tuwaiq Escarpment gives the appearance of being at the edge of the world from the precipice. The Acacia Valley below has changed significantly over time as it is believed to once have been an ocean floor.
The Red Sand Dunes to the south of Riyadh have created a modern tourist attraction, giving an adrenalin-fuelled experience for those looking for some adventure. Quad bikes are available to rent allowing exploration of this beautifully stark area, but be aware of the midday heat in this desert landscape as there is no shade to be had.
Insider’s Tip: Tours are available to both locations and are the preferred method for tourists. For the independent, car hire is available to men as it is illegal for women to drive in Saudi Arabia.
Things to Do in Riyadh
Sky Bridge at the Kingdom Centre
The unmistakable Kingdom Centre tower that rises from Riyadh’s skyline offers visitors a unique perspective of this evolving city. Containing chic boutiques such as Gucci, Cartier, and Giorgio Armani, in its modern mall on the lower levels, the tower also houses the 5 star Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh.
Rising above the hotel on the 99th Floor, the Sky Bridge reveals panoramic views of the city that amaze both during the day and the night. The 56 metre span between the towers is not for the faint of heart but is a rewarding experience for those who are game.
Deerah Souq
Despite its recent modern business outlook, much of Riyadh is still very traditional, with markets showcasing a wide range of goods from local foods, art, carpets, clothes, gold, and souvenirs. Deerah Souq, located behind the Al Masmak Fort, comprises of narrow alleyways filled with stalls that are fascinating to wander. Make sure to haggle and pick up a bargain!
Insider’s Tip: For the best experience, visit on any day other than Friday as the crowds are smaller.
