Saudi Arabia’s coworking scene has exploded in recent years. Driven by Vision 2030’s economic diversification, the Kingdom now hosts over 250 coworking spaces — up from roughly 40 in 2018. Whether you are a freelancer passing through on a tourist e-visa, a startup founder scouting the Saudi market, or a remote worker looking for a reliable desk, Riyadh, Jeddah and Khobar each offer a distinct ecosystem of shared workspaces. This guide covers the best coworking spaces in each city, what they cost, and what you need to know before booking.
Best Time to Visit: October to March (cooler weather for city exploration after work)
Getting There: Direct flights to Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED) and Dammam (DMM) from most major hubs
Visa Required: Yes — tourist e-visa or freelance work document
Budget: SAR 60–400/day ($16–107) for day passes; SAR 600–2,500/month ($160–667) for monthly desks
Must-See: AstroLabs and KAFD district (Riyadh), Basix (Jeddah), Servcorp Gate Tower (Khobar)
Avoid: Arriving without a booking during Sunday–Tuesday mornings — the busiest periods at popular spaces
Why Saudi Arabia for Remote Work?
Saudi Arabia ranks in the global top ten for internet speed, with average broadband downloads around 199 Mbps and rapidly expanding 5G coverage across all three major cities. The coworking market is projected to reach USD 600 million in 2025 and over USD 1 billion by 2030, according to industry research from Mordor Intelligence. Government agency Monsha’at — the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority — has licensed 273 accelerators, incubators and coworking facilities as of mid-2025, actively subsidising workspace infrastructure through startup hubs that provide shared offices and logistical support for entrepreneurs.
The work week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday as the weekly day off. Most coworking spaces operate from 8 or 9 AM to 9 or 10 PM, though several offer 24/7 access on premium memberships. Payment is typically by credit card or bank transfer, with monthly, quarterly and annual plans available. International booking platforms including Worka, Coworker and Hotdesk list Saudi spaces with online reservations.
Coworking Spaces in Riyadh
Riyadh is the undisputed capital of Saudi coworking. The city accounts for the largest share of the Kingdom’s flexible workspace inventory, with major clusters in Al Olaya, King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) and the northern corridor along Anas Ibn Malik Road. If you are planning a longer stay, pair your workspace search with our Riyadh travel guide for neighbourhood breakdowns and dining recommendations.
AstroLabs
Location: 3141 Anas Ibn Malik Road, Al Malqa
Pricing: From SAR 750/month (~$200) for coworking membership
Hours: 24/7 access
AstroLabs is the go-to launchpad for tech companies entering the Saudi market. Currently hosting over 130 companies — from single-founder startups to multinational expansion teams — it offers more than just desks. Members get access to coding bootcamps, a mentorship network, business licensing support and standard month-to-month contracts. Amenities include unlimited coffee, bookable meeting rooms, fast WiFi, printers and a fully stocked kitchen. If you need a Saudi commercial registration (CR) to operate legally, AstroLabs can help facilitate that through their partnerships.
Cloud Spaces — Kingdom Tower
Location: Level 12, Kingdom Tower, Al Urubah Road, Al Olaya
Pricing: Cloud Desk from SAR 2,500/month; private offices from SAR 3,000/month; day passes available (SAR 100/person)
Hours: Standard business hours with 24/7 access on select plans
Working from an iconic Riyadh landmark, Cloud Spaces occupies the 12th floor of Kingdom Tower with two locations across the city. The premium positioning comes with premium facilities: a specialty in-house cafe, state-of-the-art meeting rooms, admin support and event spaces. Flexible payment terms run monthly, quarterly or annual.
The Executive Centre — KAFD
Location: Building 3.09, King Abdullah Financial District
Pricing: 5 days/month SAR 669; 10 days/month SAR 955; unlimited monthly SAR 1,535; private offices from SAR 4,500/month
Hours: Standard business hours
Asia’s leading premium flexible workspace provider opened its first Saudi location at KAFD in October 2025, spanning approximately 36,500 square feet. The Executive Centre delivers a strictly corporate atmosphere with barista service, plush lounges, ergonomic workstations, phone booths and app-based booking. Membership tiers — City Pass, Global Pass and Dedicated Desk — scale from occasional drop-ins to full-time residency. The KAFD location puts you at the centre of Riyadh’s emerging financial hub, surrounded by Spaces, Servcorp and major corporate tenants.
Beehive Coworking
Location: Salah Ad Din Al Ayyubi Road, Al Sulaimaniyah
Pricing: Hot desk from SAR 700/month (~$186) or SAR 60/day (~$16); private offices from SAR 4,500/month
Hours: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Budget-conscious freelancers and remote workers gravitate toward Beehive, one of the most affordable options in Riyadh. Personal lockers, lounge areas, free coffee and tea, high-speed WiFi and meeting rooms are all included. Beehive also operates a branch in Al Khobar (Baseel Tower), making it a good choice if your work takes you between the capital and the Eastern Province.
SheWorks
Location: Multiple branches across Riyadh
Pricing: From SAR 2,500/month (~$667)
Hours: Standard business hours
Founded in 2014 by Maha Shirah, SheWorks is Saudi Arabia’s first female-only coworking space. The building includes a late-closing daycare centre on the ground floor, directly addressing one of the biggest barriers to women’s workforce participation. Amenities include desks, private offices, conference rooms, WiFi, printers, a lounge and kitchen. Meeting rooms have a separate entrance for male attendees. SheWorks also offers startup business consultation and government liaison services.
Kun
Location: 8478 King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Road, north Riyadh
Pricing: Membership includes utilities, internet, hospitality and meeting room credits
Hours: 24/7 access
Kun targets the corporate and government sector with proprietary “Kun Pods” — enclosed 2-to-4-seat units designed for deep work or small-team collaboration. Beyond workspace, Kun offers financial and accounting services, HR support and foreign company formation assistance, with a dedicated team handling government processes. If you are establishing a legal entity in Saudi Arabia while working from a coworking space, Kun combines both functions under one roof.
White Space
Location: Mursalat area, King Abdullah Road (also in Jeddah)
Pricing: SAR 600–3,000/month depending on plan
Hours: 24/7 access
A Saudi-born brand expanding across the Kingdom, White Space offers an all-inclusive model: furnished space, high-speed internet, tea and coffee, meeting rooms and cleaning are bundled into the monthly rate. All branches operate 24/7, making them popular with night-owl developers and teams working across time zones.
Coworking Spaces in Jeddah
Jeddah’s coworking scene is smaller than Riyadh’s but growing fast, with a creative energy that reflects the city’s role as Saudi Arabia’s commercial and cultural gateway. Spaces cluster around the Al Zahra and Ar Rawdah districts and along Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street. For neighbourhood orientation and after-work activities, see our Jeddah travel guide.
Basix
Location: 7755 Ahmad Al Attas, Al Zahra district
Pricing: From SAR 1,850/month
Hours: 24/7 with security
Basix stands out for amenities you will not find at most coworking spaces: a sound recording studio, a fitness room, a meditation room and a dog-friendly policy. Hot desks and dedicated desks offer views of the Jeddah skyline, and smart offices come equipped with smart TVs and IP telephony. Located with direct access to King Abdulaziz Road and Prince Sultan Street, it is well-positioned for anyone splitting time between meetings and focused work.
Gravita — Jameel Square
Location: 9th Floor, Jameel Square Commercial Building, 2091 Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street, Al Andalus
Pricing: From SAR 1,600/month
Hours: Standard business hours
Gravita occupies one of Jeddah’s most distinguished commercial addresses with unparalleled sea views from the 9th floor of Jameel Square. The digital access system — enter with your phone, grant visitor access remotely — reflects its ultra-modern approach. Private offices, meeting rooms, event spaces and kitchen facilities are all available. The location on Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street puts you in the heart of Jeddah’s business and dining corridor.
VIBES Offices
Location: 2823 Prince Saud Al Faisal, Ar Rawdah
Pricing: Office rooms from SAR 3,700/month
Hours: Standard business hours
VIBES began in Jeddah and has since expanded to Riyadh, Khobar and even AlUla. The flagship Jeddah location positions itself as a hub for entrepreneurship, with community managers who actively foster connections between founders. The atmosphere leans more creative and social than the corporate feel of Regus or Servcorp — expect networking events, workshops and a warm communal vibe.
White Space — Jeddah
Location: Headquarters Business Park Tower
Pricing: All-inclusive monthly memberships
Hours: 24/7 access
The Jeddah branch of the Saudi-born White Space brand follows the same all-inclusive formula as its Riyadh counterpart: furnished workspace, high-speed internet, tea and coffee, meeting rooms and 24/7 access bundled into one monthly rate. Located in the Headquarters Business Park Tower, it offers a professional base for remote workers who prefer a no-surprises pricing model.
Regus and Servcorp
Both international chains maintain Jeddah presences. Regus operates two locations, including the Quartz Building with sea views. Servcorp occupies Al Murjanah Tower. Both offer the familiar global-standard formula: professional reception, meeting rooms bookable by the hour, mail handling and access to worldwide networks of offices. Day rates and virtual office plans are available for those who need occasional rather than daily access.
Coworking Spaces in Al Khobar and Dammam
The Eastern Province — centred on Al Khobar and Dammam — is Saudi Arabia’s energy capital and increasingly a hub for tech and logistics companies. Coworking options here are fewer than in Riyadh but often come with impressive sea views and a more relaxed pace. For a full orientation, see our Dammam and Al Khobar travel guide.
Servcorp — Al Khobar Gate Tower
Location: Level 21, Al Khobar Gate Tower
Pricing: Coworking from SAR 790/month; offices SAR 999–80,000/month
Hours: Standard business hours
Perched on Level 21 of one of the Eastern Province’s most prestigious commercial towers, Servcorp Al Khobar delivers commanding sea views with premium business services. Hot desk and dedicated desk options are available, and virtual office plans include 60 hours per month of free coworking — a useful hybrid for entrepreneurs who need a professional address without a full-time desk.
Beehive — Al Khobar
Location: Baseel Tower, Al Khobar
Pricing: Budget-friendly (comparable to Riyadh branch)
Hours: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
The Al Khobar sister location to Riyadh’s Beehive brings the same affordable, community-focused model to the Eastern Province. Coworking desks, event space and community networking are the core offerings. Reviews consistently highlight the friendly atmosphere and opportunities to meet like-minded professionals.
MAZJ
Location: Zaid Ibn Alkhattab Street, Al Khobar
Pricing: Contact for rates
Hours: Standard business hours
A boutique coworking space with a perfect 5.0 rating, MAZJ emphasises design and natural environment — expect plants, natural daylight and modern interiors. Free coffee and snacks are included. It is a small operation, so book ahead, but the quality of the workspace consistently impresses visitors.
Regus and Spaces — Eastern Province
Regus operates from Al Rashed Towers in Al Khobar and the Novotel Business Park on King Fahd Road in Dammam. Spaces (the IWG creative brand) has established a presence at Ajdan Walk. Both offer the standard IWG formula of flexible memberships, global access and professional amenities. Regus is the more corporate option; Spaces brings a more design-forward, community-oriented atmosphere.
Pricing Comparison
| Workspace Type | Price Range (SAR/month) | Price Range (USD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Day pass | SAR 60–400/day | $16–107/day |
| Hot desk (monthly) | SAR 600–1,850 | $160–493 |
| Dedicated desk (monthly) | SAR 750–2,500 | $200–667 |
| Private office (monthly) | SAR 2,500–15,500+ | $667–4,133+ |
| Premium (KAFD, Kingdom Tower) | SAR 3,000–4,500+ | $800–1,200+ |
Tip: Most spaces offer significant discounts on quarterly and annual plans. If you are staying three months or longer, negotiate — 15–25% reductions are common, especially outside Riyadh’s prime KAFD corridor.
International Chains in Saudi Arabia
Three global operators dominate the branded coworking market in the Kingdom:
Regus (IWG) has the largest footprint, with 27 locations across Saudi Arabia — 19 in Riyadh, two each in Jeddah, Al Khobar and Dammam, plus outposts in Jubail and Tabuk. Hot desks start at SAR 299/day or SAR 669/month. The global network means your membership grants access to thousands of locations worldwide.
Spaces (IWG) operates 28 centres, including flagship locations in Riyadh Park, the Diplomatic Quarter and KAFD. The Spaces brand targets creative professionals and startups with a more design-conscious environment than its Regus sibling. Cowork All Access plans offer 5, 10 or unlimited days per month.
Servcorp maintains six Saudi locations, including the prestigious Al Faisaliah Centre and KAFD in Riyadh and Al Khobar Gate Tower. Servcorp positions itself at the premium end with dedicated receptionists, IT support and virtual office packages that include meeting room hours and a professional business address.
Visas and Legal Requirements for Remote Workers
Saudi Arabia does not yet have a dedicated digital nomad visa, but several pathways allow remote workers to operate legally from a coworking space:
- Tourist e-visa: Available online for 50+ nationalities. Grants 90 days per entry, valid for one year with multiple entries. No strict income requirements. The most practical option for short-term remote work. Full details in our Saudi Arabia visa guide.
- Freelance Work Document: Issued by the Ministry of Human Resources (MHRSD) through Monsha’at, covering 120+ professions including IT, marketing, content creation, consulting and creative services. Costs SAR 3,000–8,000/year.
- Sponsor-free work visa: Launched in May 2025, this programme offers seven residency categories (Special Talent, Gifted, Investor, Entrepreneur, Real Estate Owner and others) with a one-time SAR 4,000 fee. It allows working for multiple clients without a single employer sponsor — a significant development for the freelance economy.
- Prayer times: Business pauses briefly for the five daily prayers, particularly Dhuhr (midday) and Maghrib (sunset). Some coworking spaces have dedicated prayer rooms. Be respectful and patient during these breaks.
- Ramadan: No eating or drinking in public — including coworking common areas — during daylight hours throughout the holy month.
- Dress code: Business casual is the norm. Men should wear long-sleeved shirts. Women should dress modestly, covering arms and legs. Abayas are no longer mandatory but modest dress is expected.
- Greetings: Gentle handshakes are standard in professional settings. For cross-gender interactions, wait for the other person to extend their hand first.
- Midday schedule: A long lunch break from noon to 4 PM is common, with the workday extending to around 8 PM. Plan your coworking hours accordingly — spaces are often quieter in the early afternoon.
- Riyadh for government contracts, finance, tech startups and the widest range of coworking options. The city is also the base for most business travellers visiting Saudi Arabia.
- Jeddah for creative industries, import/export, and a more relaxed coastal lifestyle. The city’s food scene and historic Al Balad district add quality of life for longer stays.
- Al Khobar/Dammam for energy sector, petrochemicals and logistics. Fewer coworking options but often at lower price points than Riyadh, with waterfront locations.

Practical Tips for Coworking in Saudi Arabia
Internet and Connectivity
Saudi Arabia’s internet infrastructure is excellent. Average broadband speeds sit around 199 Mbps with latency of roughly 25 milliseconds. 5G networks are expanding rapidly in Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province. Salam leads broadband providers at approximately 141 Mbps average download speed, while Zain dominates mobile at around 86 Mbps. Most coworking spaces provide strong, reliable WiFi as standard — but if your work depends on guaranteed bandwidth (video production, large file transfers), ask about dedicated connections before committing.
Cultural Etiquette in Shared Workspaces
Choosing Between Cities
Your choice depends on your work:
Booking Platforms
Several platforms aggregate Saudi coworking listings with online booking:
Government Support for Entrepreneurs
Saudi Arabia’s government actively supports the coworking and startup ecosystem through several programmes. Monsha’at, the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority, operates startup hubs providing shared workspaces and logistical office services. The agency also runs Monsha’at Academy for entrepreneur training and a University Startup Accelerator Programme supporting student ventures.
The Saudi Business Center (business.sa) is a one-stop government portal offering over 750 services across 65 government agencies, handling everything from business licensing and registration to visa sponsorship. For anyone setting up a formal business presence while working from a coworking space, this is the essential first stop.
These initiatives are part of a broader push: the Kingdom aims to have SMEs contribute 35% of GDP by 2030, up from around 20% today. The coworking infrastructure is a deliberate part of that strategy, with Monsha’at licensing and sometimes directly subsidising workspace operations.
