Riyadh is generally very safe for women even late at night. You do not need to worry about crime or harrassment in public places. You might experience some staring which can be uncomfortable. Tip for safety: Video recording any potential incidents will protect you and deter any perpetrators. (Example: in taxi/Uber) Least safe areas: areas neer Alnadeem and Albat’ha.
