Riyadh is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia. It is also the capital of the Riyadh Province and the centre of the Riyadh Governorate. Located on the eastern bank of Wadi Hanifa, the current form of the metropolis largely emerged in the 1950s as an expansion of the 18th-century walled town, following the dismantling of its defensive fortifications.
Reading ‘Irqah against the global hubs: Dubai (~875 km), London (~4,938 km), Singapore (~6,658 km) are the close ones, with Los Angeles (~13,291 km) sitting on the opposite side of the planet — a good gut check when judging logistics windows.
