Avoid the rainfall, get cheaper accommodation and skip the crowds by visiting Riyadh during the months of April (spring) and October (autumn). Another time to consider is the summer season (May – September); however, this is when temperatures can reach as high as 50°C. The most popular time to visit Riyadh is during the winter months (November – March), when the weather is at its most favourable (although you would experience more rainfall) and the amount of tourists visiting the city reaches its peak.
