Destination & City Travel Guide
About Riyadh
Riyadh is spread over a wide area, so choosing a few linked stops works better than trying to cross it repeatedly. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress introduce different periods of Saudi history; Diriyah, west of the centre, shows Najdi building traditions. Kingdom Centre supplies a city view. King Khalid International Airport is north of town, and the Yellow metro line gives some travellers an alternative to the road trip.

What's new in Riyadh
- January 2026: The redeveloped International Terminal 2 opened at King Khalid Airport, completing the Terminals 1 and 2 improvement project.
- February 2026: Airport operations were reassigned, putting foreign international airlines in Terminal 5 and changing the arrival point for many overseas travellers.
Tips for travellers from India
Olaya is useful for a stay centred on offices and Kingdom Centre, while Diriyah requires a separate western excursion. The National Museum and Al Masmak Fortress belong to the older southern part of Riyadh, so grouping them reduces repeated cross-city transfers. The Yellow metro line provides an airport link, but a final interchange or road connection may still be necessary for the hotel.
Airport terminal advice published before February 2026 can point passengers to the wrong building. Match the airline’s updated terminal to the relevant metro stop or taxi destination. Terminals 1 and 2 handle Saudi carriers’ international operations; Terminals 3 and 4 serve their domestic flights. A domestic connection can therefore involve a change of building even when the same carrier operates both legs. Diriyah’s At-Turaif heritage area and dining district have their own booking arrangements, so select the intended attraction rather than assuming one admission covers the entire development. Plan the outdoor heritage visit separately from an indoor National Museum afternoon.
Best time to visit Riyadh
November to March, roughly 10–28°C, for outdoor districts.

Riyadh airport information
King Khalid International Airport (RUH). Following the February 2026 reassignment, Terminals 1 and 2 serve Saudi airlines’ international flights, Terminals 3 and 4 their domestic services, and Terminal 5 foreign airlines’ international flights. Indian airlines are foreign carriers in Saudi Arabia, so their Riyadh flights use Terminal 5.
About Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa spreads across a high plateau, so even a short walk can feel different from one at sea level. The National Museum introduces Ethiopia’s archaeological record, while the Ethnological Museum sits within the former imperial palace grounds. Mercato and Shiro Meda offer contrasting market visits, and Entoto gives wider views over the capital. Travellers from India often arrive on flights that connect onward across Africa, but the city deserves a planned stop rather than only an airport transfer.

What's new in Addis Ababa
- December 2025: Ethiopian Airlines opened a new premium lounge at Bole Airport, adding facilities for passengers eligible for lounge access.
- May 2026: Adwa Business and Transport Terminal opened in Piazza, creating a new transport and commercial facility in the historic centre.
Tips for travellers from India
Bole is convenient for an airport-focused overnight stay, while Piazza places the older central streets closer. The National Museum and the Ethnological Museum need separate visits, with the latter situated within former palace grounds. Mercato is a large trading district, not a compact museum forecourt, so it deserves a planned route rather than a quick stop with airport luggage.
Entoto is above the city and makes a distinct uphill excursion. A first day after arrival can instead stay with the museum district before adding higher viewpoints. Shiro Meda is a useful focus for textiles and fits a different shopping purpose from Mercato’s broader trading activity. If an Ethiopian Airlines connection includes hotel accommodation, use the carrier’s actual transfer arrangement rather than booking an unrelated city ride. Bole’s international and domestic operations can require different departure formalities, making the onward flight type important for the return. The city’s altitude also makes a museum-led first day a gentler introduction than immediately combining long market walks with an Entoto excursion.
Best time to visit Addis Ababa
October to February, roughly 9–24°C, for generally drier walks.
