Are there taxis in Riyadh? What about scooters? What are the public transportation options? Here's what two local experts had to say about transportation methods in Riyadh.

Anyone moving to Riyadh should know about the drastically dry climate and the temperature extremes in summer and winter. They should keep in mind the Islamic culture and the strict traditions followed on by the locals which could at times be really intimidating to outsiders. The public transportation system is not well developed inside the city areas as mostly the people depend on hiring a taxi for commuting.

The city is remarkably busy. However, large highways offer fewer traffic jams and more accessibility. The weather can get some use to; for it is especially hot during the long summers and unusually cold during the short winters. Riyadh does not have much to see besides the unending desert dunes and shopping malls, but the people are welcoming and kind.
