Riding in Riyadh

Riyadh is built around long arterial roads and ring roads rather than one compact centre. Business travel gathers around Olaya and the King Abdullah Financial District, government and diplomatic trips go to the Diplomatic Quarter, and visitors often add Diriyah and the Boulevard entertainment areas in the evening.

A ride across Riyadh can cross several districts and busy ring roads, so a precise pickup point and building entrance save time. King Khalid International Airport is north of the centre, and the Riyadh Metro serves part of the city, which some travellers combine with a car for the last stretch.

Riyadh (الرياض) is in Riyadh Region, Saudi Arabia.
