BLVD RUH City, the gem of Riyadh Season, is now open
This is the largest zone of the Riyadh Season, made up of nine different areas…
If there’s one place that you need to choose this Riyadh Season, make it the Boulevard Riyadh City (BLVD RUH City), located north of Riyadh. Don’t get it confused with The Boulevard Riyadh, though.
One of the largest zones in Riyadh Season 2021, BLVD RUH City has tripled its size and will become a permanent entertainment hub in the capital.
