About Riyadh

Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, rises from the desert plateau of Najd, a city of glass towers, old mud-brick forts and desert escarpments.

Riyadh sits on the Najd plateau in the centre of the Arabian Peninsula, a fast-growing capital of towers and wide highways. The Masmak Fortress, a fort of clay and mud brick, marks the recapture of the city in 1902 by Abdulaziz ibn Saud, who later founded the kingdom, and the Kingdom Centre tower has a sky bridge linking its two prongs. The National Museum tells the story of Arabia from prehistory to the present.
