About Riyadh
Riyadh is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia. The city is located in the center of the Kingdom, and is affectionately called "The Desert Pearl"; although, its actual name, "Riyadh" is derived from the Arabic word for "garden."
As the capital city, Riyadh is home to all of the government ministries and foreign embassies.
Riyadh is very modern, with many malls, office buildings, hotels, etc. Yet it hasn't forgotten its past - you can still visit older market areas ("souqs"), as well as the ruins of the old city of Diriyah, northwest of the city.
