Riyadh, the Saudi capital, is one of the easiest cities in the world for a Muslim traveller: the entire country is Muslim-majority, so all food is halal by default (no pork or alcohol), the call to prayer marks the day, and mosques are everywhere — many shops and restaurants pause briefly during the five daily prayers. A new driverless metro (opened 2024) and the Careem/Uber ride-hailing apps make getting around the sprawling city straightforward.
Getting in
King Khalid International Airport (RUH)
• Careem / Uber — 30-45 min to the centre (easiest and most predictable)
• Airport taxi — 30-50 min (agree the fare or use the meter)
• SAPTCO airport bus — ~45-60 min (cheapest; limited stops)
Getting around
The Riyadh Metro (six driverless lines, opened 2024) plus a city bus network now cover much of the capital; ride-hailing fills the gaps.
The Darb card/app pays for the Riyadh Metro and city buses.
Careem and Uber are the simplest option; the city is large and car-oriented, so factor in distances.
Weather in May
High ~39°C · Low ~25°C
Hot, dry late spring — desert heat builds through the day.
