Saddle up.

If there’s one thing that’s really trendy right now in all big cities of Saudi then it’s cycling. In recent years, dedicated cycling tracks have been built around the city, cycling clubs have been formed by enthusiasts and bicycle rental shops have opened throughout Riyadh. There are so many cycling tracks to choose from; we tell you the best ones here.

1. Ad-Diriyah

If cycling isn’t your thing, this might be the place where a little pedal pumping can change that forever. Because, what can be better pedaling your way around a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the historical structures here giving you the feeling of a relaxing village jaunt?
