Riyadh Tour Bus

is this operational? This is a good initiative....

any plans for the members to go with this tour? let's go together...

i'm in .. when are you guys planning on going ?

From what I gather, the tour bus is operational.

It does two routes -
Route 1 weekday evenings around trip inter Riyadh city.
Route 2 weekends evenings around trip outside Riyadh city (wadi Hanifah etc)

I will try to get some more details and times.

Gosh i rather tour RIyadh in my car with my friends shouting in the back and music blaring lol . Nice TOur by the way

I saw one of those coaches in front of Kingdom Tower.

The trip seems to be designed for people who come for a few days to Riyadh.

Call it bus-trip or buzzzz-trip (you would be more busy busing around the buzy roads )

Day trips to one / two locations with picnic would have been better appreciated by residents.

Well I'm here for the next five days waiting for my iqama to be prcessed so these tours sound like good activities. I'll try the museum tour tonight

Its available Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed for Museum Tours

and Thurs for Wadi Tour

My friend went to Faisaliah to get tickets for the daily tour bus and was laughed at and told it was for men only. Does anyone know if this is correct?

I have been with my wife and her friend (also female)....there were another 3 females on the bus, we had no problems with the tickets.

Got the tickets from Mariott Hotel

SaudiUK

Thanks very much

Hi,
I am gonna try it soon,hope me and my hubby can get the tickets.Wish bus would have other ladies too,I dont want to be a single lady in the bus.

ive seen the museum. it was really nice! u guys should try it.

I've been to the museum 3X now.  It's so much more than I thought it would be--very very good!

If I remember correctly, it's 10SAR to get in and you don't need a guide or anything.  Everything is written in English as well as Arabic.

Have fun!

hope service is still valid, planing to go wd my wyf
