I will be going to Riyadh next week for the first time. MY hotel options are Intercon or Four Seasons. I've picked IC as its close to the client, but is the FS considerably better?

My business associate say that taking taxis from the airport or around town are not a problem. He's a regular there, but I'm not sure for myself since I'll be going alone. Any views?

BTW, are visitors allowed to bring in a bottle of wine throgh Customs?
