Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, is among the wealthiest cities in the world. Once a humble, walled mud-brick stop along ancient desert trade routes, it has transformed into a thriving modern metropolis, evolving at an extraordinary pace.
Begin your stay with a guided tour through the old town to admire its many ancient ruins including the once-splendid palace, houses and marketplace. Continue to Masmak Fort, in Riyadh's old quarter, built during the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid in 1895 A.D. Afterwards, explore the Dirah Souq, a market famed for colourful textiles from silk to luxurious pashminas, before stopping for lunch.
After lunch in one of Riyadh hottest new openings, head to Diriyah. As the birthplace of the first Saudi state and former royal residence, Diriyah’s well-preserved mud-brick walls and heritage buildings recall a thriving desert city that was once a center of culture and commerce.
Conclude your day with dinner in Diriyah, overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage Site At-Turaif. Roam would be happy to arrange a table for you to enjoy this remarkable setting.
Indulge in a private luxury shopping experience with exclusive access to luxury shopping outlets in the company of a personal stylist. Visit a haute couture fashion house, or learn the art of making perfume, from a young Saudi specialist.
Explore the financial district with a local architect to and learn how the iconic skyline has evolved. Or unwind with a private massage or spa experience tailored to you.
That evening, enjoy exclusive access courtesy of Roam at one of the city's hottest events. Throughout the year, Riyadh plays host to a range of events for you to choose from, including sporting fixtures, concerts, and art exhibitions.
After a leisurely start to the day, we can recommend somewhere for lunch, before transferring you to your onward flight from Riyadh.
