Picture this: You’re in Riyadh, it’s 2AM, and a sudden craving for snacks hits. What do you do? Well, if you’re a certain tourist who recently visited the Saudi capital, you head on out and set off on what you thought would be a simple late-night errand—only to realize that Riyadh after midnight is something else ENTIRELY.

First thing that blew his mind? The roads were ALIVE!

You’d think 2AM means empty streets and silent corners, but nope! The traffic was still buzzing, cars were cruising, and neon lights illuminated the city like it was still prime time. And the coolest part is, almost every car he saw passing by was a luxury one! It was like a 2AM car show, casually rolling down Riyadh’s streets.

Next up, the supermarket run….

Lo and behold to his surprise: a fully stocked, fully staffed, brightly lit supermarket that looked like it was waiting for him

The ease of getting around? Flawless. Within minutes, he was inside, grabbing chips, chocolates, and a cold drink, all while taking in the fact that even at this hour, everything was so convenient

But perhaps the best realization of the night? The city’s unmatched safety. Walking back out, snack bag in hand, he took a deep breath and marveled at how normal it felt to be out this late—no stress, no worries, just vibes.

Riyadh truly felt like the city that never sleeps, but in the best way possible.
