Market Fit
Conditional fit

Weighted to a tourist / visitor's priorities, Riyadh scores 59/100conditional fit. No OECD house-price valuation for Saudi Arabia, so the property entry-window is not scored — AI-Home's DLD data fills this.

Experience, access, safety and total trip cost — short stay, so structural growth is irrelevant.
