Alfaisal University campus
The campus of Alfaisal University is located in Riyadh. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies.

The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. Not only locals study at Alfaisal University, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
