Riyadh Code

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The Saudi capital, where a UNESCO mud-brick citadel sits a short drive from glass towers and a new generation of homegrown kitchens.

Riyadh rewards the evening: Diriyah lights up after 5pm, dinner runs late, and the best rooms are Saudi-owned tables cooking regional food with real ambition. Nightlife here is alcohol-free and built around mocktail bars, rooftops, music venues and members' clubs. Add an art scene growing out of old warehouses and a desert escarpment within a day's drive.
