Location:
Riyadh’s blend of medieval and millennial makes for a beguiling cultural union — one where Arabia’s first roots can be traced, and where its bold future can be envisioned. The city’s fascinating, centuries-old history can be found within its atmospheric souqs, compelling museums and ancient architecture, but it’s also a modern metropolis, with glittering high-rises and a burgeoning contemporary art scene.
In recent years Saudi Arabia has witnessed a period of high growth and economic progress. Record oil revenues have given rise to increased public spending on infrastructure to match the increasing needs of a fast-growing population. Priority has been given to education and healthcare, which has led to the growth of medical cities as well as the creation of many new healthcare institutes.
