Cristiano Ronaldo is taking tourism more and more seriously. He has already opened several hotels called Pestana CR7, and just two days ago, he visited Bujairi Terrace in Riyadh to announce the opening of his own Tatel Riyadh restaurant.

The establishment is just a few steps away from Diriyah, an area known for its traditional mud-brick architecture. Among the cultural sights are the Diriyah Museum, a former palace that houses exhibits of Saudi Arabia’s history and the restored Al-Zawihra Mosque.

The mega soccer star’s restaurant is on the territory of a project in which the state has invested more than €62 billion and represents a pedestrian maze of winding alleys with Michelin-star restaurants, cafes and craft shops. Guests of the Riyadh restaurant will get a real taste of exquisite Spanish cuisine.

The restaurant offers an exquisite setting and a delightful selection of pasta, fish and meat dishes.

Ronaldo himself shared his excitement on Instagram, capturing the moment at Bujairi Terrace and expressing his appreciation for the historical significance and culinary temptations offered by Tatel Riyadh.

Hours later, tourists from faraway China and many other countries are at the soccer star’s restaurant to take a photo in memory of the famous cradle on which Ronaldo posed on social media.

The Bujairi Terrace complex is located on the outskirts of the city. This unique location is famed for its first-class restaurants, home to world-famous brands and popular Saudi concepts.

The project offers an exciting combination between traditions and modernism.’

At the same time, Al Nasser with Ronaldo made 1-1 at home with an outsider in front of the view of the Bulgarian media. Al Nasser’s team with football star Cristiano Ronaldo missed adding a valuable three points to their match with outsider Al Khaleej.

The match is being played at the KSU stadium known as Al-Awwal Park. Journalists from Bulgaria were able to immerse themselves in the luxury of the host’s stadium, which has VIP separates with sofas.

During the duel, fans in particular areas were provided with hot drinks – tea or coffee- and catering that included snacks and sandwiches.
The team’s meeting was heated with sound and light effects, and the fans got a Champions League-like atmosphere.

Little girls and boys dressed in Ronaldo jerseys powerfully chanted his name throughout the match and waved flags with the club colours bearing the jersey number and his character.

The more giant fans were dressed in traditional local clothes or the Portuguese star’s jerseys.

The match in the 26th round of the Saudi Championship started with a surprising 4-minute goal for the guests. Martins received an exciting pass, advanced with a ball in his foot and scored 0:1. The hosts managed to level up even before the break with a 17-minute goal.

Garrib centred from a direct free kick and found Alvaro Gonzalez, who scored with his head to send the leather ball into Al Khaleej’s net.
By the end of the match, Al Nasser had many opportunities to secure the three points, but the away door proved unbeatable.

No new goal was reached, and Ronaldo’s point and company drove Al Nasser away 5 points from the leader Al Ittihad. Football fans wishing to watch Ronaldo and lovers of beautiful destinations can visit Saudi Arabia with a direct flight of Wizz Air from Sofia to Riyadh.
