City advice
Getting around
You. Need. A. Car.
As of now, the metro and busses are yet to be operated, so a car is a must in Riyadh.
Customs and culture
Dress modestly.
Known for its conservative culture, modesty is highly appreciated in public.
What to pack
Always assume it’s hot, unless it’s winter.
Throughout the year, Riyadh is HOT, but if you’re visiting November through February, you better pack your whole closet cause it gets COLD.
