    Most of the building have already been rented by financial institutions, Saudi Central bank , Saudi Payment and many more. There are many cafes and restaurants too.

      Great! I think it'll be a more exciting area by early 2025.

    fyi Riyadh or Saudi in general mostly is active at night to escape the heat in the morning and evening

    • @jongetsaround

      Very true. I saw that downtown Riyadh is very busy at nighttime. I also visited Diriyah during the daytime and there was only a few people there. I know it's much more active in the evening. I couldn't stay later as I was catching a flight in the afternoon. I will add a video about that soon. 🙂

      @jongetsaround  Před 11 dny

      Thank you. Nighttime is definitely busier, but a bit harder to film. 🙂 Next time I film in Riyadh/KSA, I will try to add more nighttime events. Thanks for watching!

    This train only has three stations, which are King Khalid Airport and King Mohammed bin Salman Road. There is another metro that will connect it to this metro.

    • @jongetsaround
      @jongetsaround  Před měsícem +4

      Hi @perfect8299 I understand that KAFD Metro Station will connect to 3 metro lines in 2024, plus the monorail in 2026. As far as I'm aware, none of the 6 Riyadh Metro lines have started operations yet - but should start this year.

      Sure! I have been based in Southeast Asia for 10 years and have explored the Middle East too - but I have not been to anywhere in South Asia yet! Thanks for watching.

    the biggest mistake u did is going in day, try to go in night u will get a 100% better experience especially in weekends (thursday,friday)

  • @maliksuleman5677
    @maliksuleman5677 Před 23 dny +1

    I wasn't granted access to the district more than once!! I wonder how u were able to get access...!!! Unless you're an intruder...if that's the right word!!!

      then you’re probably entering through the wrong gate, there’s a few areas people aren’t allowed to go into so maybe you mistaked it for the wrong gate because I’ve been over 50 times and I’m always allowed without anyone asking me anything

    • @jongetsaround
      @jongetsaround  Před 13 dny +1

      @maliksuleman5677 You can walk around the KAFD. Although it's not fully operational, there are some people already working there. Obviously you cannot enter active construction sites.
