Saudi Arabia?s capital (and its financial hub) sits almost at the centre of the country. It features glitzy, illuminated skyscrapers, along with the more traditional architecture you?d expect from a city built on the an-Nafud desert plateau. One of the richest places on earth, it?s overflowing with designer boutiques and polished air-conditioned malls. Those wishing to explore Riyadh?s cultural heritage can do so at the UNESCO Heritage site of Diriyah, Masmak Fortress and the Murabba Palace. For the best views across the city, climb up the landmark Kingdom Tower to the Skybridge.
