FROM THE EDITOR
Hello 2016, We Mean Business! There’s something about the start of the year that makes you feel renewed and ready to take on the world. It’s like a head straight to GO pass on the monopoly of life and you can’t wait to roll the dice and see what the future holds. For this special Business issue, it gives us great pleasure to introduce you to the pioneer 30 Under 30 list of Destination Magazine. These young, self-made and inspiring entrepreneurs used talent, hard work and creativity to rise above challenges and come up on top. We wanted you to have a little bit of everything to help you jumpstart your enthusiasm for the year ahead. Enjoy the great outdoors while you still can with our camping guide, Saudi style. There’s also tips on how to get cozy in your home and through your wardrobe. As always, Destination is packed with all you need and want to know about living it well and happy in the city. So flip through our pages and you’re bound to discover something you can relate to. For 2016, Destination Riyadh will remain to be the magazine by Riyadhis, to Riyadhis and for Riyadhis. And in our commitment to be the local lifestyle guide of KSA, we are delighted to announce the launch of our sibling, Destination Sharqiya. From west, to the capital and now the east - please show them as much love as you’ve shown Destination Jeddah and Riyadh.
