Plan your trip
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
Riyadh
Primary international gateway serving Riyadh.
to venue
by car
A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.
Radisson Blu Hotel, Riyadh Qurtuba
Melissa Hotel Riyadh
Ahlin Suites 5
RIDAF Suites
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
taxi
~20 km and 20–35 minutes off-peak; metered airport taxis leave from the arrivals kerbs, and fixed-fare ride-hail pick-ups operate from the designated app bays.
metro
Riyadh Metro runs six lines with airport connections; the venue sits beyond the nearest stations, so plan a 10–20 minute taxi hop for the final leg. Contactless and rechargeable cards accepted at gates.
bus
The city bus network reaches the northern districts and Riyadh Front retail area; services are frequent on main corridors but slower across the Eastern Ring Road corridor into the halls.
rideshare
Careem and Uber both operate in Riyadh; precinct hotels sit 1.5–5 km from the halls (4–12 minutes), while central district hotels take 20–30 minutes in morning traffic.
hotel shuttle
Several hotels within the Riyadh Front and Qurtuba cluster run scheduled complimentary shuttles to the halls; reserve a seat at check-in the day before and allow 10–15 minutes for the transfer.
Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
| Type | Who needs it | Fee | Processing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saudi tourist eVisa (multiple entry, one year) | Passport holders from eligible countries, including the UK, EU states, US, Canada, Australia and GCC residents with valid residency | $128.00 | 1–3 business days online | |
| Business visit visa (invitation-based) | Exhibitors, contractors and buyers without eVisa eligibility who are sponsored by a Saudi host company or event organiser | $80.00 | 5–10 business days after the invitation is issued | |
| GCC nationals and residents | Citizens of GCC member states travelling with a national ID, and GCC residents with an eligible residence permit | — | Same day at the border or on arrival |
Weather
Late August and early September are the hottest window in Riyadh, with daytime highs of 40–45°C, overnight lows of 28–32°C and virtually no rainfall, so sightseeing and outdoor transfers should be planned for early morning or after sunset. All show halls, hotels and taxis are heavily air-conditioned, so pack light breathable shirts and trousers for the show floor plus a light jacket or shawl for conference rooms. Carry a refillable water bottle, high-factor sunscreen and sunglasses for the short outdoor walks between parking, hotels and the RFECC entrances.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mobile coverage in Riyadh is fast and 5G is widely available; STC, Mobily and Zain all sell prepaid tourist SIMs with data packages, and STC and Mobily counters operate at King Khalid International Airport arrivals so you can be connected before leaving the terminal. Travellers preferring to keep their home number can activate a Gulf or Middle East eSIM data plan from providers such as Airalo or Nomad before departure, which avoids local registration queues. Roaming from major European, UK and GCC operators works reliably in Saudi Arabia; hotel and Riyadh Front dining Wi-Fi is common, but carry your own data plan for steady access on the show floor.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Dress and business etiquette
Business dress is smart formal or business casual with shoulders and knees covered; women are not required to wear an abaya but modest clothing is expected in public spaces. Handshakes are customary between guests of the same gender, business cards are exchanged with the right hand, and meetings typically open with a few minutes of personal conversation before commercial topics.
Working week and timing
The Saudi working week runs Sunday to Thursday, and the weekend falls on Friday and Saturday. Schedule meetings and hall appointments on show days but allow for prayers and traffic peaks around mid-morning and late afternoon when moving between RFECC, hotels and central Riyadh.
Tipping and hospitality
Tipping is appreciated rather than obligatory: 10 per cent in restaurants where service is not already added, a small rounding for taxis and SAR 5–10 for hotel porters. Accepting the offer of Arabic coffee or dates when visiting a Saudi stand is a normal and welcome courtesy during the show week.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

Nonstop services operate from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuwait, Istanbul, Cairo, Amman, London, Delhi and Mumbai with Saudia, flynas, flyadeal, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad and Riyadh Air. Book 6–10 weeks ahead, since late-August capacity tightens as business and school-holiday travel overlap, and allow 20–35 minutes by taxi or ride-hail from arrivals to the venue.

Ride-hail: Careem and Uber both operate across Riyadh and are the simplest way to reach Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center (RFECC); expect roughly SAR 30–70 for city trips of 10–25 minutes and SAR 60–100 for the airport run. Request rides from designated pick-up bays at the halls and hotels, and allow extra queue time during the 09:00–10:00 and 17:00–18:00 peaks. International cards and Apple Pay are accepted in-app.
Public transit: Riyadh Metro's six lines plus the Riyadh Bus network cover the capital, with Line 4 (Yellow) linking King Khalid International Airport to the northern districts; fares are around SAR 4 for a single journey and about SAR 20 for a day pass. RFECC sits north-east of the city centre near the Eastern Ring Road, so the last leg from the nearest metro or bus stop is a 10–20 minute taxi or ride-hail hop. Buy a rechargeable metro card at station machines or pay by contactless gate.
Parking: Riyadh Front provides large on-site surface and multi-storey parking adjacent to the exhibition halls, with free visitor parking for show attendees and dedicated drop-off zones at the main entrance. Arrive before 09:30 on peak days when the front car parks fill first, and use the signed RFECC visitor access roads off the Eastern Ring Road rather than the retail district entrances.

Plan your trip
Best day to visit: Tuesday 1 September 2026 (Day 3)
Day three offers the fullest exhibitor and technical-staff presence together with the strongest conference and workshop line-up, after the opening-day registration rush has cleared and before final-day pack-down begins. Aisle traffic remains manageable enough to hold detailed procurement conversations, and most exhibitors have final pricing and GCC service coverage confirmed by then.
