Many of the major fortresses and archaeological sites are more than 1,000 years old, taking its visitors on a unique journey through history. Known as a city of a great legacy, the capital is rich in history, boasting a myriad of forts, palaces and museums. Dive into the prowling marketplaces, which remain as noisy and vibrant as when they first emerged and experience the traditional souks across the city. No matter if ancient or modern, the Riyadh experience is a uniquely varied one and is bursting with local art, delicious cuisine, architecture, as well as great entertainment.
