Drive & Stay Riyadh Holiday Packages
Saudi Arabia‘s capital, Riyadh, is a metropolis that skillfully combines modern wonders with a rich cultural past. Situated in the Al Murabba district close to King Abdulaziz Palace in the centre of Riyadh, the National Museum is a tribute to the history of the kingdom. This museum offers tourists an insight into the unique heritage of Saudi Arabia and is a treasure trove of artistic and historical data. The experience is enhanced by the nearby historic gem, the Murabba Palace. Located in the same Al Murabba neighbourhood, this palace offers insights into the royal history of the area while showcasing traditional Saudi architecture.
The Masmak Fort is a well-known reminder of Riyadh’s historical heritage. This mud-brick and clay castle stood testimony to the kingdom’s founding. Its part in King Abdulaziz’s 1902 recapture of Riyadh highlights its historical significance. Furthermore, travellers can fully immerse themselves in the local culture through the lively and genuine shopping experience provided by the historic Saudi market, Dira Souq. On the contemporary front, Riyadh’s skyline is dominated by the imposing Kingdom Tower and Faisaliah Tower, which stand for the city’s quick expansion. The city’s ambitions and economic strength are exhibited by these architectural marvels, which make Riyadh a vibrant and diverse travel destination.
