Riyadh Car Hire

Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia and the centre of the country's oil industry. Massive investment and development over the last fifty years have seen it grow into one of the wealthiest cities in the world. Only business visitors are permitted and are required by law to reside in designated hotel compounds so there are no cheap Riyadh hotels, just extremely luxurious ones.

Hiring a car in Riyadh

Riyadh's airport is the King Khalid International where all long haul journeys terminate. Car hire from Riyadh Airport can be pre-booked or cheap Riyadh car hire is available in certain areas of the city. If you're flying to Riyadh on an official or sponsored business trip, a package including cheap Riyadh flights and Riyadh car hire are often arranged as a courtesy.

Places to visit in Riyadh

Tourism is not encouraged due to very strict Islamic laws and moral codes surrounding females. Most visitors to the city are there on business, which at least gives the opportunity to see some of the futuristic architecture such as the award-winning Kingdom Tower owned by a Saudi Prince, or the Ministry of the Interior Building, considered one of the most attractive structures in the city due to its unique 'upside down pyramid' design.
