By comparison, what they have to say about Jeddah makes the Red Sea metropolis look positively cemetarial:

Quote:
Nightlife in Jeddah has one address and that is Jeddah. Nightlife in Jeddah depends on how you take advantage of it. A visitor will find the Saudi Arabian people open-hearted and friendly. Walking around the city is an experience and you will not find any drunks accosting you on the streets. Alcohol in Saudi Arabia is expressly forbidden. Cruising in cars is fun but watch out as there is a perpetual race on. There are no Western style parties and you need to know someone to get invited to a gathering wherein ladies are also present. The dress code is abayas and head scarves for women and long trousers for the men.
After the sunset prayer, Mahgreb, Al Corniche springs into life, with Saudi families dining in the open. Eating out, literally, is a favorite Saudi past time. It is considered as an ideal opportunity to get together for chat and a substantial meal. There are handcarts on the beach, selling candy floss, fizzy drinks and spicy chick peas. The beaches are wonderful, especially at night. There are many places to walk and just enjoy the breeze. Jeddah's floodlit Corniche, with its 400 open-air sculptures, is a visual treat. There is also the King's fountain, presumably the tallest in the world. With a 261 meter water jet, it can be seen for miles around on floodlit nights. People also enjoy playing cards and smoking traditional water pipes, hookahs, in these places. One can say that Nightlife of Jeddah is happening.

There are also many shopping malls, with prices from cheap to expensive. They are a veritable treat for the women as they are open till late. There are many good cafes in Jeddah, good Western restaurants as well as Saudi Arabian eat. Talking of addresses and the nightlife of Jeddah, Tahliya Street is a classy spot in Jeddah. Here the people hang out, show off their cars, shop in fancy shops and eat in elegant restaurants. The favorite pastime is people watching. Nightlife in Jeddah is quite vibrant and active. The Jeddah Travel Guide too tells you about the nightlife in Jeddah.

Of course it will show you the Devil with an Angel face, and Riyadh as Dallas! Laughing

In my humble experience, night life in Riyadh can be exciting and ..occasionally ..profitable.
Especially if you happen to be a ugly, fat chick who hasn't been on a date since the Reagan administration.
