Riyadh & Diriyah (Saudi Arabia) for Incentive Travel
The Kingdom's turnkey MICE base — palatial big-box ballrooms (Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons Kingdom Centre, Mandarin Oriental Al Faisaliah) that swallow galas of any size, paired with Diriyah's UNESCO mud-brick heritage at Bab Samhan and the Bujairi Terrace dining district. A real international hub (RUH), proven logistics, and the culture-plus-scale combination the remote resort coasts can't offer.
