Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally higher during the winter months (November to February) when the weather is pleasant. Look for deals during the summer, but be prepared for extreme heat. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during events.

Food to try

Try Kabsa, a mixed rice dish with meat and vegetables, often flavored with saffron. For a quick bite, sample Shawarma from street vendors, but ensure hygiene standards are met. Dates are a staple; you'll find many varieties.

Getting around

Taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Careem are readily available. The Riyadh Metro is expanding, but currently covers limited areas. Consider renting a car if you plan on exploring outside the city center.
