FROM THE EDITOR Editor-in-Chief Enas Hashani Managing Director Maria Mahdaly Executive Editor Bassma Al Toaimi
We’ve missed you, Riyadhis! For the lot of you, you’re probably heading back from vacation wondering what you’re going to do now. Well that’s what we are here for my friends. In this issue, we focused on positive influences, in the form of human beings that are an example to us all. Learn from Almuhannad Alhassoun and be a force for good, seek out guidance and mentorship to better yourself, or take a page out of our young achievers article and put your pedal (your ideas) to the metal (to application). School’s just around the corner. Calm down Riyadhis, we can hear your groan over the pages of the magazine. If you need a little cheering up, check out our Riyadh college article where we debunk common myths about the college experience. We’ve also reviewed and tested kids’ meals and kids’ playgrounds in restaurants so you don’t have to. Check out our dining section to find out which fast-food restaurant has the best toy, or which restaurant has the best play pin. Until next month Riyadhis. Remember to wear sunscreen! Enas Hashani Editor-in-Chief
