The wheels on the Riyadh transportation network go round and round, taking you all across town.
The vast network has been servicing residents and tourists alike through the interconnected bus system as well as the colorful veins of the Riyadh metro.
From taking you to your iftars and suhoors in Riyadh to making high traffic areas like KAFD more accessible, the transportation network has been expanding in the right direction.
What’s more, you can now head down to Al Safarat using the network.
That’s right, the manicured lawns and delicious plates of the Diplomatic Quarter (DQ) are now just a darb card swipe away.
So prepare to spend your mornings in the zen Richard Bodeker park, afternoons at Kayanee, and evenings at Unstable, the members-only restaurant and nightclub all rolled into one, without getting stuck in traffic.
