Travel Idea: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Enjoy an unforgettable getaway for 2 adults in the vibrant city of Riyadh! Your package includes 1 night accommodation at the prestigious Crowne Plaza Riyadh Palace by IHG. Discover the rich culture and modern wonders of Saudi Arabia’s capital city.

To make the most of your trip, I recommend reading "Lonely Planet Saudi Arabia" for comprehensive travel tips and destination highlights. For a deeper understanding of the region's history and culture, "Inside the Kingdom: Kings, Clerics, Modernists, Terrorists, and the Struggle for Saudi Arabia" by Robert Lacey is an excellent choice. You may also enjoy "Saudi Arabia: A Kingdom in Peril" by Paul Aarts and Carolien Roelants for a contemporary perspective. If you prefer guided exploration, consider booking a local guide through platforms like ToursByLocals or Viator for personalized city tours and cultural experiences. Happy travels!

About the destination

Riyadh is the capital and largest city in Saudi Arabia with a population of about 5 million. The city has a rapidly growing centre where you'll find new high-rise buildings, international restaurants, hotels, shopping centres, modern offices and much more. Despite being a major business destination, it has maintained a balance between culture, tradition and economic growth. The historical core of Riyadh, Al-Murabba, has some interesting sites worth visiting such as the King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre, home to the National Museum and the Murabba Palace. The centre of Riyadh, Al-Bathaa, is the oldest part of the city. Al Bathaa is home to the bus station, post office and Batha souk. Faisaliya Tower is one of the two iconic towers of the city of Riyadh. It contains a variety of attractions, including a viewing platform, a small photography gallery and a café known as the Top. Riyadh is a luxurious and prosperous city in the heart of the Arabic world. The city’s unique urban landscape makes it a true modern wonder.
