If there's one city in the Middle East that is thé tourist fantasy, it would be Riyadh. This big, rich, historical city has it all. Beautiful, luxurious shops, many museums and sightseeings, sports facilities or beautiful, historical places. But if you take a look at the Riyadh from say 100 years ago you will see a very small, walled village. That village grew more than 100 times to become one of the most important and biggest cities in the Middle East.

But there is still plenty left to see of the old village. A lot of the old or diappeared village is being repared and/or reconstructed. And of course the museums, Riyadh has many of them, so if you're walking from one museum to another you can see and maybe taste the old Riyadh.

There are many museums in Riyadh and we have selected some important museums for you, like the Riyadh Museum for History and Archaeology and the Money Museum.
