Travel Idea for 2 Adults: Riyadh Getaway

Experience a memorable trip for two adults with a 2-night stay at the luxurious Radisson Blu Hotel Riyadh Qurtuba, located in the vibrant city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Enjoy comfortable accommodations and world-class hospitality at this modern hotel, perfect for exploring the rich culture and attractions of Riyadh.

To make the most of your journey, I recommend bringing along some excellent guides and books. Consider the Lonely Planet Saudi Arabia guidebook, which offers practical travel tips and insightful background information. For a deeper understanding of the region’s history and culture, try Inside the Kingdom: Kings, Clerics, Modernists, Terrorists, and the Struggle for Saudi Arabia by Robert Lacey. For a lighter read, Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger is a classic exploration of the Arabian Peninsula’s deserts. These resources will help you fully appreciate your Riyadh adventure!

About the destination

Riyadh is the capital and largest city in Saudi Arabia with a population of about 5 million. The city has a rapidly growing centre where you'll find new high-rise buildings, international restaurants, hotels, shopping centres, modern offices and much more. Despite being a major business destination, it has maintained a balance between culture, tradition and economic growth. The historical core of Riyadh, Al-Murabba, has some interesting sites worth visiting such as the King Abdul Aziz Historical Centre, home to the National Museum and the Murabba Palace. The centre of Riyadh, Al-Bathaa, is the oldest part of the city. Al Bathaa is home to the bus station, post office and Batha souk. Faisaliya Tower is one of the two iconic towers of the city of Riyadh. It contains a variety of attractions, including a viewing platform, a small photography gallery and a café known as the Top. Riyadh is a luxurious and prosperous city in the heart of the Arabic world. The city’s unique urban landscape makes it a true modern wonder.
