What is the general security environment in Riyadh?
Environments by nature change. Since 2004 incidents involving westerners have been rare. However, you need to be aware that Saudi Arabia remains a dangerous part of the world due to the threat of terrorist attacks against Americans. Street crime is generally not a problem in Saudi Arabia. However, private Saudi citizens who perceive that a foreigner is not observing conservative standards of conduct may harass, pursue, or assault that person.
