The city offers numerous fun options for night wanderers. Unlike most of the western countries, Riyadh offers a variety of restaurants, cafes, and hotels for family and social gatherings instead of bars, pubs, and discotheques. Nightlife at Riyadh is mainly dominated by night shopping markets that keep the tourists engrossed along with local food options. Most of the best shopping malls open late night and a few have a separate floor for women who wish to shop at late hours of the evening. Many grand night parties can be witnessed in Riyadh but entry here is strictly through invitation only. The city is alive, happening and totally blooming under the stars.
