Thanks for visiting. As a Saudi, the Al Faisaliah tower viewing bridge is kinda abandoned because: A) No one really goes anywhere during the day because of the heat and how everything is open till very late B)Several restaurants in the tower, including the Globe, have views that are as good if not better than the viewing platform and C) The Kingdom Skybridge is a better view anyway. I think you should try some of the homegrown cafes instead of the global chains. Nearly every street has some sort of boutique coffee shop these days in Riyadh!
There's a cafe inside the globe? Maybe that's why I couldn't get into that part..? The Scuplture Cafe is briefly featured in my video about KAFD and I visited a lot of local coffee places in Riyadh. I did go to Starbucks a couple of times and must admit that I went to Costa Coffee pretty often as there is one just outside the Kingdom Tower and the weather in April was pretty nice (when it wasn't raining!). My videos in Riyadh were my first as an amateur youtuber (with no channel at that time), but people there were very friendly and open to chatting with me. I hope to visit more of KSA.
@@jongetsaround Yeah, there's a restaurant and a cigar lounge up there. I think they locked the door so people who go to the viewing platform don't just wander in as you need a reservation IIRC. I hope to see you soon back in KSA!
The metro will open in Q4 this year 2024 and yes the airport have yellow metro line will connect the airport with King Abdullah Financial District ( KAFD). Now announced that there is new line will connect Qiddiya and will complete 2025 when Qiddiya city open.
Interesting. Riyadh will go through great change over the next few years.
@asiaversustheworld654 yes. For sure.

There are 3 metro stations at the airport ( terminal 5 , terminal 3&4 and terminal 1&2)
Interesting video.
