Tips for Adventure

Book in advance

For trendy restaurants on Via Riyadh or Bujairi Terrace, book weeks in advance through apps like 'The Chefz' or 'SevenRooms'.

Outfit

It is no longer mandatory for foreigners to wear an abaya, but modest dress (shoulders and knees covered) is required for both men and women.

Ramadan

During this holy month, you cannot eat, drink or smoke in public during the day. The city comes alive at night.

Hydration

Drink plenty of bottled water. The air is very dry and you can become dehydrated without realizing it.

Sun Protection

Even in winter, the sun is very strong. Use sunscreen daily.

General Security

Riyadh is extremely safe. You can walk with valuables without worry, although it is always good to have common sense.

Traffic Laws

Fines for speeding and cell phone use are automatic and very expensive. If you rent a car, respect the signs.
