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.

Posted: January 19, 2025I live all of my life in Riyadh. I born and raised in this beautiful city , its safe place with a-lot of activities and things to do. Yes its traffic and busy city, but i assure you, once you came you will have much fun!
Posted: September 2, 2024Riyadh is extremely safe. As a local, my only concern is verbal harassment, which is mostly from locals targeted towards local. This also primarily occurs only in certain areas that some young locals deem as dating hotspots. However, risk of physical harassment is very low. Even lower are things like assault, rape, mugging, kidnapping, murder. Saudi Arabia is a considerably safe country to be in. I would only advise foreign female travelers to avoid going out alone at night and avoid dodgy areas only as a precaution.
