Riyadh Things to Do Tips by anees

Its been my habit in recent months to walk and hang around with my friends in late evening around Al Tahlya Street.
We mostly have our dinner in one of its many many restaurants, drink our hot coffee or tea or even refresh with juice in one of its coffee shops. Or some time just walk and talk and look at the people talking in groups, or simply setting to brows the internet by their laptop through the new the new wireless network in this street which called by the government the smart zone.

With my quicky walking style, it takes me 45 minutes to walk the whole street return.
Be aware that many crazy motorcyclers can drive some time on the side walk, so be careful and watch out.
