Riyadh Air's new Hafawa Lounge at Riyadh Airport impresses with striking design, exceptional dining, massage chairs, and quiet rooms — one of the best lounges we've seen.
Glad you take these unique trips and do these reviews, Ben, because they are interesting, even if many of us likely won't be going there anytime soon. The design is impressive; even with no windows or outside views (eh), so, I guess their creative use of vivid LED screens sorta makes up for that. Lack of crowds sure seems nice compared to what we're used to in the US (but, literally no other guests for '30 minutes' is a little eerie). A mocktail? (Oh, right.) Anyway, looking forward to your full-review on Riyadh Air's 787 (saw it from afar at LHR earlier this year; nice livery.) It's still a bit close to the 'action,' these days, but, who knows, maybe RUH is tastefully-removed enough, compared to say, KWI (*gulp*), or DXB, DOH, etc. Under the right circumstances, and once they actually build out a global network, maybe RX could be a viable (even preferred) 'premium' alternative for some, connecting via ME. Until then, it's probably just a bunch of reviewers visiting... (like, RX doesn't fly to US; for now, it'd mostly be Europe-S/SE Asia.)
Is that real butterfly in the mocktail
Okay, I don't know why but this is bothering me enough to ask and not care about how stupid the question is...
How is it possible to have a wagyu burger on any kind of bun with just 220 kcals? And including potato wedges? The kids' menu is clearly separate, so what in the world is going on?
@ The Other Nick -- Lol, I have to say I spent half my time in Saudi Arabia just thinking about the alleged calorie contents on menus. Nothing made sense to me.
It's the same as how at the breakfast restaurant at my hotel, the pancakes were reportedly 200 calories, while the croffle was reportedly 820 calories. How?!?
