The Boulevard Riyadh — Local services in Municipality of Al Shamal

This huge complex covering an enormous area features world showcases from around the globe. There are pavilions from the UK,USA, France, Italy, Asia,India, Mexico, Morroco, Egypt and many more. Don’t expect the authenticity of main street USA at Disney World. Some of the building facades are quite crude, others better.The gift shops in some of the pavilions look more like market stalls others more sophisticated.In my opinion the exhibits from Egypt and Morroco were spectacular. Each country featured theme rides or theatrical entertainment but these can be expensive and you need to book them in advance as they are extremely popular.I did manage to watch a 2d movie of Aladdin on an enormous 360 degree screen within the spectacular spherical dome that dominates the show ground. Additional attractions are the exotic birds and parrots in the petting zoo with photographic opportunities, also the huge boating lake with gondola’s and the chair lifts that transgress the exhibit.Food in the concessions is very expensive be warned! If you are a senior like me you should enquire about wheelchair or mobility scooter availability. At eighty years of age I ended up walking six miles it was gruelling. There is a long walk from the car park to the entrance and they really should run a shuttle service. All things considered it was well worth a visit especially at night. Expect crowds at weekends the best time to visit is...

I know they start operation newly so I give them 3 stars but still they have to make too much arrangement specially for entrance You have to park your car very far then walking around 30 minutes Also opening time should be 4 pm but they let us to wait till 5 pm I don't know for what reason Again inside restaurant opened at 7 pm so we lose almost 3 hours for nothing There is no reservation for restaurants so you have to stand up outside in long queues to get a table Also bathrooms really disaster Sometimes to much noise because they are using microphone loudspeakers in the same times with songs I liked only the changes in Riyadh also there is one restaurant which is amazing called (Emmy squared pizza) they are really good and they have a tasty food I hope to visit again after 1 week and I see a good arrangement specially for entrance and respect...

You can see Saudi Arabia has put a lot of efforts in making the tourism a success. The Boulevard Riyadh this year has lots to offer to it visitors. First, the grand entrance which mimics New York's Time Square with its majestic and attractive screen. Second, the large music lighting fountain shows. Besides, it is an excellent entertainment center for both adults and children. They offers lot of games for children.

The Boulevard open from 5pm till 4am. You have to purchase tickets online. The tickets for week day cost Sr 55 and Sr 110 for weekends. I would recommend avoid going on weekends as it's too much traffic and crowded.

The positive side, they have huge parking spaces. So you do not worry on finding parking lot.

Overall, it's a present experience and you can take lots...
