King Khalid International Airport sits about 35 km north of central Riyadh. Riyadh is a city built for driving, so a rental car makes the most of your trip, whether you are in town for business or starting a longer journey across the Kingdom.
Know your terminal
King Khalid International has five terminals, so check your ticket before you arrive.

In the city, visit Diriyah, the birthplace of the Saudi state and home to the UNESCO-listed At-Turaif district, and the Masmak Fort in the old centre. The Kingdom Centre Tower has an observation bridge with views across the skyline, and Riyadh Boulevard is the place for an evening out.
