Safety Score: 8.5/10 · Value: 7.2/10 · Beauty: 6.4/10

Riyadh is transforming faster than almost any city on Earth, Vision 2030 is reshaping Saudi Arabia's capital from a conservative religious centre into an entertainment and tourism hub. The ancient Al-Masmak fortress, the extraordinary 'Edge of the World' escarpment (Jebel Fihrayn, 90 minutes away), and the forthcoming NEOM megaproject represent the spectrum of old and new. The food scene, once limited, now rivals Dubai.
