Résumé

Résumé : Derived from the Arabic word rawdah, meaning “oasis,” Riyadh is the capital city of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a vibrant metropolis joining the traditional and the cosmopolitan. In the early twentieth century, Riyadh covered less than one square mile, and now it has grown to become the largest and most significant city on the Arabian Peninsula. Riyadh Infinite guides readers on a grand tour of the city’s can’t-miss sights, from the historic to the modern.

Riyadh is a city of evolution, making innovative strides over the course of the past century while championing its rich heritage. In the coming years, awe-inspiring advancements and developments, paired with a range of thrilling cultural events, will greet visitors coming to this ever-growing destination. Riyadh is the embodiment of the Kingdom’s storied past and infinite future.
