It’s literally safe My work schedule typically runs from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., and after work, I enjoy meeting up with friends for dinner and coffee, often staying out until around 2 a.m. on Wednesday nights. I feel completely safe doing so, as the community is incredibly welcoming, and the local transportation options, including Uber, are reliable and secure

Riyadh is relatively safe but as a woman you have to be careful of the places and events you go to, try to go to family friendly places so you can avoid some of the harassment, not a lot to do here other than shopping and going to seasonal events and trendy cafes
