You will not get a clear direct answer to this question. That should tell you everything you need to know

There are many things to do here. To shed you some light about what you can do, here's the list:

1. Visit these places:
      a. Museum
      b. Riyadh Zoo
      c. Park, etc.
2. Ride a quad bike at Red Sand or at Al Thumama.
3.  Join HHH. If you are into jogging, hiking, or long walk in the sand dunes around the valley, etc.
4. Enroll in the gym. Both male and female gyms are available. You can play some sports inside the gym like basketball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, football,etc.
5. You can enjoy food trip as well as different kind of dishes from around the world are available in Riyadh. Starting from western to eastern part of the world, you name it.
6. Join Riyadh Road Runners.
7. Join Kart racing.
8. Play bowling.
9. If you are into shooting, there's 1st Paintball for you. It's also in Al Thumama.

There are so many things you can do to fight boredom. I hope this helps.
