Riyadh is the remarkable capital of Saudi Arabia. Little more than an isolated outpost 50 years ago, frightening sums of money have been spent defying nature and building a thriving metropolis in the middle of the desert.

James Says

The availability of flights from the UK to Riyadh has been hampered by heightened security concerns in Saudi Arabia , forcing British Airways to suspend their London - Riyadh route for a number of year. Heathrow rivals BMI replaced them, joining established airline Saudi Arabian Airlines, and in 2009 BA resumed their Riyadh flights.

Because of a lack of tourism in Saudi Arabia (it is virtually impossible to get tourist visas), flights to Riyadh tend to attract a hefty premium compared to more open Gulf cities such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Muscat.

Congrats to the Royal Town's adopted son, Roberto Di Matteo, for guiding Chelsea to the biggest trophy in club football.
