About the city of Riyadh: Your comprehensive guide

At its heart stands the iconic Kingdom Centre, a soaring skyscraper offering breathtaking views from its Sky Bridge.

Don’t miss the chance to indulge in local culinary delights, from aromatic kabsa to mouthwatering mutabbaq. Your adventure awaits!

Gastronomy: Delicious Discoveries

Start your culinary journey with kabsa, a fragrant rice dish often paired with tender lamb or chicken and spiced with cardamom and saffron. Savor the richness of jareesh, a hearty cracked wheat porridge, and try mutabbaq, a stuffed flatbread bursting with savory flavors. Don’t miss exploring sweet delights like kunafa, a creamy dessert with a crispy pastry topping, or the local favorite, ma’amoul, delicate date-filled cookies. For drinks, enjoy Saudi coffee, infused with cardamom and served with fresh dates, or sip on laban, a refreshing yogurt-based beverage. On each spot of the audio guide, we’ll point you to the nearest top-rated restaurants based on Google’s users' opinions.

Transportation and getting around the city

Getting from the airport to the city is straightforward, with taxis and ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem widely available. They're reliable and convenient, and airport taxis operate with fixed rates. For getting around the city, the metro system is expanding but still limited, so buses and ride-hailing apps are usually the best options. Taxis are plentiful but don’t always use meters, so it's good to confirm the price before you start your journey. Walking is an option in certain districts like the King Abdullah Financial District or Al Diriyah, but most of the city is better explored by car. If you’re interested in sightseeing, the Riyadh hop-on-hop-off tour bus is a great way to visit major landmarks, and tickets can be purchased online or at key stops.

When it comes to practical tips, the local currency is the Saudi Riyal (SAR), and cards are accepted almost everywhere, though it's handy to carry some cash for smaller shops or local markets. Electrical sockets are Type G, so if you’re coming from a country with a different standard, pack an adapter to stay connected.
