Riyadh Tonight
 
I've been let down for a run tonight and am looking for something to do in Riyadh tonight.

Any tip to stop me going out of my mind, I'm in Olaya Holiday Inn and have a car.

Cross the road to Fasaliah Mall and check out the Food Court?
Go to Kingdom Tower and see the panorama of Riyadh from the Skybridge?

I feel your pain...

Just been out of the hotel and bought a USB charger for 15SR price said 20 and i didn't bargin with him he just knocked 5 SR off the price.

If you think its hot in Dubai check this place out it is like having a massive hair dryer in your face on the hottest setting. The general smell is strong BO. Jeddah tomorrow.

Khobar was actuall nice compared to this place.

Sure its better if you live here and can get into the scene but as a visitor it is crap.

Cheers

You missed out the sand and grit in the hairdryer metaphor. The conditions have been dreadful the last couple of days. Luckily I have been ill today so spent the day indoors.

If you return try the Raddison next time, at least they have a couple of decent restaurants.

Yea went for a wander and felt left out with no mask on.

It is very hot even coming from Dubai. Imagine someone fresh off the boat from the UK

Jeddah tonight

where are the kicking pleaces by the Seaside, after half an hour looking at the fountain you go mad. Its quite a big fountain but does not dance, we are used to dancing fountains in Dubai.

Christ - it must be bad there if being ill is a 'lucky' event.
