Before continuing downtown, passengers can take the time to explore the facilities and amenities offered by Riyadh King Khalid International Airport . Satisfy your tastebuds with a diverse selection of international cuisines served at various restaurants, or shop at one of the airport terminal's many boutique stores. Information kiosks, ATMs, and currency exchange services are also available, as well as a wide range of services for passengers who require special assistance.

The scenic route takes roughly an hour from King Khalid Airport to reach downtown Riyadh.

This restored 19th-century clay fort, with its distinctive thick, sand-colored walls and watchtowers, was instrumental in the formation of the modern capital. Inside the compact site, engaging exhibits offer a window into early Saudi life, featuring traditional artefacts, photographs, and detailed models. History buffs and casual sightseers alike will appreciate the dramatic glimpse into the past provided by the original palmwood doors, still bearing spear marks.
