From its beginnings as a thriving oasis, Riyadh (meaning “gardens” in Arabic), the capital of Saudi Arabia, is the political, economic, and cultural center of the Middle East.

With its vibrant economy, Riyadh is a preferred destination for global businesses and talent, while also focusing on the long-term well-being of the society by investing into becoming a prime center for health, education, and research facilities.

Through its city landmarks and attractions, its lively cultural scene and open visa policy, Riyadh is rapidly advancing in the ranks of the most visited cities in the world. Riyadh’s rapidly expanding infrastructure is ready to host World Expo visitors through seamless internal and external connectivity to the proposed Expo 2030 site.

Situated 600m above sea level, with low humidity, and minimal precipitation, Riyadh has a pleasant climate for nearly three quarters of the year. The proposed six months for Riyadh Expo 2030 offer  ideal weather conditions for the event.
