After scarfing down your fifth shawarma and 20th muttabaq in one week, you\u2019ll be glad that you had the foresight to join a gym and hit the weights! <\/p>

<\/p>

2. Get a humidifier. <\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

The dryness during winter will wreak havoc on your sinuses. <\/p>

<\/p>

3. Account for traffic!<\/strong><\/p>

Traffic can get a little intense in Riyadh, with congestion being particularly rough at random time slots as opposed to during rush hour. That\u2019s why it is important to factor traffic into your journey time, and always be sure to leave (extra) early. <\/p>

<\/p>

4. Understand that driving is a WHOLE different world in Riyadh.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Speaking of traffic and driving: think you can hack it on Riyadh\u2019s highways? Think again! Missing an exit can tack on a significant amount of time to your journey, so be sure to be a passenger for quite a while and get familiar with all the routes before you flex your driving. <\/p>

<\/p>

5. Stay up to date on all the latest festivals happening throughout the year.<\/strong><\/p>

<\/p>

Periodic festivals like the MDL Beast Music Festival and Riyadh\u2019s Season Festival are sure to brighten up your month. Keep a cultural calendar so you can stay up to date on all the latest happenings to ensure that you make the most out of your time in Riyadh. <\/p>

<\/p>
