Sip, study or work in peace at Riyadh’s Thalath

Thalath Wahat, meaning “three oases,” brings together a cafe, bookshop and community space, as its sign displays. Located on Al-Takhassusi Street at the Seven Square Mall in Riyadh, the cafe opened to the public in August. The place offers a wide variety of books in both English and Arabic, which visitors can read or purchase while enjoying a coffee. Its English section is surprisingly varied, from classics to social science, business and economics, and bestselling self-help books. Decent in spa
