Riyadh City Tour

OVERVIEW

The majestic Masmak Fortress stands proudly as a silent witness to the founding of Saudi Arabia. Built in the 14th century AH as a headquarters and impregnable fortress, it now symbolizes the restoration of power. Since its conversion into a museum in 1995, it displays features of that historic era.

In the heart of Riyadh's Dirah district is the Al-Zal Market, one of the city's oldest traditional markets, with a history spanning over 100 years. Spanning 38,000 square meters, the market is famous for its vibrant atmosphere, the sounds of auctioneers, and its collection of antiques, rare coins, ancient utensils, and unique folklore items.

The Saudi National Museum offers an adventure transcending time and space, from prehistoric times to the modern era. Located in the Al-Murabba' district, the 17,000 square kilometer museum, opened in 1419 AH, tells the story of Saudi history through 3,700 unique artifacts, including statues, manuscripts, and sculptures.
