Riyadh

Capital energy

The guide

A LUBY-curated slow visit.

01

Diriyah at dusk

The mud-brick walls of At-Turaif hold the light after the sun has gone. Go late, walk slowly, and stay for dinner in Bujairi Terrace.

02

Where Riyadh actually eats

Beyond the hotel dining rooms, the city eats late and well — Najdi kitchens in Al Bujairi, and a quiet run of chef-led rooms along Northern Ring Road.

03

Getting around

The Metro covers the main spines and is the fastest way north to south. Everything else is a short drive, and a chauffeur is worth it in summer.
