Top flight deals to Riyadh

Saudi Arabia’s capital is a top-notch mix of ancient and ultramodern architecture next to each other. So even though it’s not a typical destination for most tourists, it’s a great place to immerse in the Middle East’s culture and feel its oriental vibes.

Best things to see in Riyadh

To see Riyadh’s historical birthplace firsthand, head to Historical Diriyah. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its ruins and monuments embody the area’s whole history.

One of the most authentic places in Riyadh is Dira Souq. The outdoor market is where the traditional Saudi culture is concentrated. Here you’ll find many things: from local crafts and carpets to traditional clothes and artifacts.

Representing the modern era, the Mamlaka Tower is an outstanding and iconic landmark. Inside, you’ll find a shopping mall, restaurants, hotel, and of course, an incredible panoramic view of the city.
