    The restaurant sits inside a literal glass sphere bolted to the top of Al Faisaliah Tower, so the 360-degree views of Riyadh's skyline come with the architecture rather than a separate ticket. It's a formal modern dining room where the kitchen leans classical, French technique folded into local produce, served by a team that keeps everything running smoothly. The kind of place you dress up for and probably expense.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
