Riyadh is a thriving urbanization at the middle of Saudi Arabia. It is the capital of Saudi Arabia. My city is renowned for it’s dry atmosphere and lack of rainfall. Without constant self care, one can easily fall sick from dehydration. Our city also has many mosques for people adhering in Islam.

Know the local customs and traditions since this is a very conservative society, further summers are very hot in my city with temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees, so they need to pack accordingly. They need to dress conservatively and public display of affection is strictly prohibited here which they need to adhere to at all times.

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.

An amazing urbanised city with uncountable date trees and flowers such as peonies, roses, marigolds and more spread across the capital of Saudi Arabia. Additionally, an active workforce is available found with immediate assistance from the local people or expatriates. However, temperatures can soar up to 45°C or more during summer.

Riyadh is one of the most beautiful cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the largest cities in the Kingdom. You will find in the city everything that you are looking for these days. Where Riyadh’s climate is characterized by extreme heat in summer, and dry coldness in winter, even though there is a large variation between day and night temperatures.

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.

Riyadh is at the center of the Arabian peninsula and the weather over here is very hot and dry in summers and fairly cold and windy in winters. This city is booming and growing in various sectors. Anyone who wishes to move here could lead an amazing life ahead.

As it is practically a desert, the city of Riyadh has extremely hot summers. However, the weather in winter is absolutely wonderful. Also, one should keep in mind that the city of Riyadh has a myriad of outdoor activities and indoor for all age groups, and a strong sense of community and generosity that is very inclusive. Riyadh also has excellent healthcare and education systems. The city is a perfect combination of modern, traditional, open-minded and conservative. It is inevitable that this city will feel like home to those living in it.

The country is Islamic so if you are a woman you can’t go outside more often. Secondly, you must be aware of your stuff like your phone because it can be stolen from you. Thirdly, you must be used to hot weather it can get to 100 degrees in Riyadh.
