URBAN WALK 15: Olaya and Tahliah Streets (up to 12 km)

For this Urban Walk, we walk along two of Riyadh's most iconic streets: Olaya and Tahliah. The full walk will be 11.5 km.

We’ll meet directly at the walk starting point, which will be shared with confirmed attendees only. The meeting point location will have free parking and will be accessible by taxi and metro.

Route Highlights:

• Enjoy views of the iconic Kingdom and Faisaliah Towers.
• Pass by Abaya and the luxurious Centria Malls.
• Soak in Olaya’s vibrant café culture.
• Discover Tahliah Street's restaurants and its newest attraction, Riyadh Oases - FoodSphere.

• 7:00 PM: Brief introduction to the route.
• 7:05 PM: Begin walk.
• 10:00 PM: Estimated return to starting point for those completing the full walk.

Important notes:

• The meeting point will be sent to confirmed participants by email/Meetup messaging. It will also be visible to confirmed participants by the morning of the event as a comment on this page.
• Walk departs promptly at 7:05 PM. We will not wait for latecomers.
• I will lead this walk at a moderately brisk pace. However, individuals are welcome to set their own pace, and you will be able to join a WhatsApp group at the starting point to help you track the route and reconnect if needed.
• This is a free, informal activity. Unlike our Saturday hikes, you can leave the walk whenever it suits you. There’s no check-out.
• I will not be able to respond to texts and messages before or during the walk.

It’s a great opportunity to get some exercise, meet new people, and enjoy Riyadh’s urban landscape.

I look forward to our walk.
