Year-long daylight curve. Shows how dramatic high-latitude summers are.
Shows whether it's currently business hours (9am to 5pm) in major financial centers, and how many hours they overlap with Riyadh.
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.
Distance-wise, Riyadh is closest to Dubai (~864 km), London (~4,944 km), Singapore (~6,648 km); Los Angeles is the far end at roughly 13,293 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.
Riyadh sits inside Arábia Saudita — the Western Asia subregion, capital Riyadh, languages Arabic, currency SAR (ر.س).
Around Riyadh, the nearest mapped reference cities are ‘Irqah (11 km), Ad Dir‘īyah (20 km), Al Kharj (86 km), Ad Dilam (89 km); treat them as the de-facto regional cluster for AST planning.
