Top Riyadh Cultural Tours

Witness a stunning sunset from the Edge of the World for unparalleled views of the Saudi Arabian desert on this afternoon tour. On the way to the mountain, pass the heritage village showcasing the local culture. Arrive at the Edge of the World and take a scenic 2-hour hike arriving at the summit for sunset. Enjoy a coffee or tea at the cafe before heading back to Riyadh.

The Edge of the World (its real name is Jabal al-Firin), one of the most popular tourist destinations in Saudi Arabia, gets its nickname from the continuous view of the horizon it offers over its 300-meter-high cliffs, which overlook the surrounding plain. It is part of the much longer Tuwaiq escarpment, descending about 305 meters to the bottom of the ancient ocean. From the top of the cliffs, you'll spot dry rivers that weave across the land and you may see camels moving away below - an ancient caravan route that once ran through these lands. We can enjoy the sunset from the top of the mountain and take unforgettable memorial photos
