Summer Survival Guide for Women in Riyadh

Encouraged by the success of my survival guide with small kids, I decided to compile a list of places for mums to escape the heat and recharge.


I am only listing places I have either personally tried or that were recommended to me by friends. I intend to discover and try as many as I can so make sure you follow me on Instagram where you will find the reviews.
