Live and love local with this bucket list. Are you ready? By Jou Pabalate
WATCH THE SUN SET OR RISE AT EDGE OF THE WORLD It is breathtaking and will force you to unplug from the world, quite literally since there is no signal there. Watching the sun break through the horizon and cast its beams upon the cliffs is simply one of the most beautiful things you’ll lay your eyes upon in the city. Go with a professional local tour guide, like Amazing Tours or at least with local friends who have gone there once to avoid getting lost.
HAVE AN AUTHENTIC NAJDI FEAST For newcomers in the city or expatriates in general, we would always encourage you to embrace some warm Saudi hospitality. Likewise, if you’re a Saudi, open your home to your non-local friends. Nothing beats a Najdi grandma’s cooking but if a proper home invitation has eluded you, then go to the Najdi Village in Bujairy or Yasmin District. Do not leave until you’ve tried the jaraeesh, kabsa and hnieni. Disclaimer: You will get into a food coma after this. 30 DESTINATION RIYADH DECEMBER 2016
