The Old Camel Market, situated approximately 30 kilometres north of Riyadh, is one of the largest such trading grounds on the Arabian Peninsula. This sprawling, dusty arena offers a direct encounter with an enduring tradition, where Bedouin traders assess, present and haggle over hundreds of dromedaries. The atmosphere is immersive and unfiltered, defined by the din of negotiation and the distinct, earthy scent of the animals. While the trading continues throughout the day, the activity peaks in the late afternoon. It is advisable to confirm its current location before visiting, as urban development has prompted relocations in the past.

Al-Faisaliya Tower is a landmark of modern Riyadh, recognised as the kingdom's first skyscraper. Its distinctive pyramid-like form, crowned with a glass globe, punctuates the Olaya district skyline. The primary draw is the observation deck, which provides a sweeping 360-degree panorama of the city's expansive urban grid. The complex at its base houses a refined shopping mall, known for its selection of luxury brands and calm, spacious corridors. While the city now has taller structures, the tower remains a significant architectural pioneer, offering a classic perspective on Riyadh's dramatic growth.
