Riyadh is the capital city of Saudi Arabia and the centerpiece of the country's central and eastern regions, situated in an oasis in the Arabian Desert. As the political, economic and cultural center of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is home to the country's key government agencies, corporate headquarters and international organizations, and is an important hub for the Saudi oil industry. In recent years, Riyadh has accelerated its transformation into a modern and diverse city under the impetus of the "Vision 2030". The city is a blend of traditional Islamic culture and modern urbanism, with historic sites such as the old Mas Masqaq Fortress and the new Kingdom Center skyscraper, as well as excellent transportation networks, educational and healthcare facilities, and a wealth of cultural activities, making it one of the most vibrant metropolises in the Middle East.
