Highlights
Diriyah
Set just on the outskirts of Riyadh, Diriyah is the birthplace of the Kingdom of Saudi. Founded in 1446, it symbolises the beauty, generosity and resilience of the nation and its people. It was once an ancient trade and pilgrimage route, and a meeting spot for people travelling to or from Asia, Africa or Europe. Within Diriyah, uncover the UNESCO World Heritage mud-brick city of Al-Turaif, where you can walk through hidden alleyways in the footsteps of Arabian kings and heroes. Alongside the extensive ruins and historical monuments, the site features a variety of museums, luxury hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment options and more!
