Riyadh was the base of the government, but none of the Al Sa'ud family particularly enjoyed the city; their complaints never ended about the dreariness of life in Riyadh. It was too hot and dry, the men of religion took themselves too seriously, the nights were too cold. Most of the family preferred Jeddah or Taif.

The Al Sa'ud royal family found Riyadh unappealing despite it being the administrative center of their government. Their dissatisfaction was rooted in the oppressive heat and dryness of the city, which contributed to a monotonous lifestyle. Complaints often arose about the stern demeanor of the religious authorities and the harshness of the cold nights, which only added to their grievances.

In contrast, many members of the family preferred the coastal and more temperate locales of Jeddah and Taif. These cities offered a more comfortable living environment, showcasing the family's longing for a more enjoyable and vibrant setting, away from the limitations they felt in Riyadh.
