Nofa Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Resort

This luxury resort, located just outside of Riyadh in the desert dunes, is a real hidden gem. Not only does it feature 57 secluded luxury villas and bungalows designed in an elegant African style, but it has its own safari park where big cats roam and Asian elephants, zebras, Arabian Oryx and giraffes can be seen. Amenities include a large beach pool, two freshwater lakes, horseback riding and a challenging 18-hole golf course, considered one of the best in Saudi Arabia. Ideal for a corporate retreat, there are dedicated meeting and event facilities including two theatre-style boardrooms and a ballroom. Built with African thatched roofs and stone walls to add African flavour, the main rooms can accommodate up to 500 guests.
