About Riyadh
juhah from USA wrote about Riyadh 5 years, 2 months ago
I lived in Riyadh for 4 years. It was a big rich city. Good shopping, restaurants and interesting surroundings. Largest international school in the world.
The markets are interesting... gold, carpets, spices, etc. I just dont recommend shopping at noon time on Sunday. The market is next to the central Mosque where corporal punishment is served.
Not a place for women.
No questions about Riyadh exists. If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask!
