Travel tips

Passengers arriving at Riyadh King Khalid International Airport will find a plethora of facilities and amenities to use before continuing their journey downtown. Indulge in an extensive selection of culinary delights at the diverse range of restaurants or enjoy some light shopping at the boutique stores situated within the airport. Baggage storage, tourist information booths, ATMs, and currency exchange services are also available, along with specific services tailored to meet the needs of those who require special assistance. 

The most efficient and convenient method to travel downtown from the airport is to take a taxi. This usually takes about 45 minutes. Alternatively, utilising the city's public transportation options, such as buses and the metro, is a better option if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option. The scenic route takes roughly an hour from King Khalid Airport to reach downtown Riyadh.

Begin your Riyadh journey at the iconic Al Masmak Palace , a significant architectural centrepiece in the city's historic quarter. This striking, restored 19th-century clay fort is instantly recognisable by its thick, sand-colored walls and watchtowers, and it played a pivotal role in the founding of the modern capital. Inside the well-preserved, compact site, visitors will find compelling exhibits that bring early Saudi life to light. The displays include a range of traditional artefacts, historical photographs, and detailed models. History enthusiasts and general tourists alike will be captivated by the dramatic history, particularly visible in the original palmwood doors that still bear the marks of spears. The courtyard offers a pleasant, tranquil contrast to the activity of the surrounding city.

Next, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Souq Al Zal , one of Riyadh's oldest and most evocative traditional markets, located just a short walk from Al Masmak. This intricate, maze-like souq is a feast for the senses, overflowing with rich colours, textures, and the unmistakable, heady aroma of incense. It's a prime destination for locals seeking everything from vintage daggers and antique coffee pots to luxurious woven rugs and traditional ceremonial clothing. Even if you're not planning to buy, the experience itself is worth savouring. You can observe artisans meticulously restoring old swords by hand or simply soak up the daily rhythm as merchants prepare Arabic coffee and arrange their wares. Bargaining is just accepted, as it is an integral and enjoyable part of the shopping culture, so feel free to haggle with the welcoming shopkeepers if something catches your eye. The souq gains a special energy as the sun goes down, making the early evening an ideal time to visit.

For an exclusive and tranquil end to your day, consider VIA Riyadh . This destination is a true architectural masterpiece, inspired by Salmani design and constructed with hand-carved limestone, offering an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance. It provides a more relaxed and upscale alternative to the city's more crowded locations, perfect for those who appreciate a slower pace. VIA Riyadh offers a curated selection of experiences: browse luxury boutiques, enjoy a meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant, or savour an indulgent dessert or nightcap at a high-end café. While it is ideal for a quiet dinner or shopping for exclusive items, you don't necessarily need to splurge to appreciate its beauty. The exquisite architecture, subtle ambient lighting, and elevated landscaping make it a wonderful setting for a leisurely evening stroll.

Experience the ease of discovering convenient and luxurious hotels tailored for you with Cathay Holidays. The Four Seasons Hotel , situated within the distinguished Kingdom Center Tower, offers a five-star experience that seamlessly blends modern luxury with authentic Arabian hospitality. Guests will enjoy serene, sophisticated accommodations accompanied by stunning views of the Riyadh skyline.

Key cultural attractions, such as the National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress, are also just a short drive away. For an evening activity, guests can savour an elegant meal at The Grill or admire the glittering city lights from the renowned Sky Bridge. For a well-located, budget-friendly stay in Riyadh, the ibis Riyadh Olaya Street provides a simple, comfortable, and stress-free experience, focusing on essentials without unnecessary complexity. The rooms are compact yet highly functional, featuring comfortable beds, fast Wi-Fi, and a minimalist design, making them an ideal retreat after a day of city exploration.

Riyadh beckons food enthusiasts with its diverse array of restaurants that offer a fusion of culinary delights from around the globe. For an elevated experience in modern Indian dining, Gymkhana blends colonial club sophistication with contemporary culinary art. The menu showcases exceptional dishes that redefine traditional Indian flavours through expert spice blends and high-quality ingredients. Start your meal with the perfectly balanced Patiala Fried Chicken, served with tangy imli and mint, or the decadent Duck Egg Bhurji, featuring lobster and Malabar paratha. For a grand main course, the Sikandari Lamb Raan is a magnificent centrepiece prepared with traditional techniques, while the Baby Chicken Biryani provides layers of fragrant, aromatic spices. Conclude your luxurious dining journey with the Gold Leaf Gulab Jamun with almonds, a dessert that perfectly embodies the restaurant's commitment to refined indulgence. If you prefer European flavours, Public binds comfort food to a sophisticated culinary experience, reimagined with contemporary creativity and flair. This vibrant restaurant updates familiar favourites, satisfying both traditional tastes and adventurous palates through innovative techniques and the use of premium ingredients. Signature dishes highlight the kitchen's commitment to thoughtful preparation and creative presentation. Start with the Bolognese Arancini—three cheese-filled risotto balls toasted in a rich bolognese sauce and topped with parmesan for a delightful textural contrast. For the main, the Alabama Mama pizza offers bold, smoky flavours with slow-cooked short ribs, mixed cheeses, and signature Alabama sauce. Alternatively, the Chicken Parm delivers crispy perfection, served with classic red sauce and melted mozzarella.
