Fun bumpy ride through the desert. It was a treat to pet a friendly camel and visit a small cave on our way to Edge of the World. We hiked to several summits and stopped at a sacred cave facing Mecca for sunset for spectacular view. Had a lovely dinner too. ❤️

Amazing experience.
Started at 2pm. No refreshments provided till 7pm. Snacks and dinner combined. No information was provided by the your manager. Dinner was tasty and the snacks too. The place where we had dinner was an amazing experience as well. I wish they could be more interactive about the place we were visiting. Rest the crew was helpful

A must go in Riyadh. Amazing staff very helpful. The food was ok. Other than that worth every penny. The endless view of the desert is breath taking.

We arrived at the pick-up point in plenty of time and met the tour guide who ticked us off his list and told us that the tour was leaving at 2.30.
We went to the toilets and visited the nearby pharmacy, returning to the pick-up point at 2.20 to find that the tour had already left!
We struggled to contact the company because there was no wi-fi and eventually made contact about an hour later but was told that the tour could not return and pick us up.
The tour guide lied and first said that we didn't turn up but we could describe him.
He then said that we turned up late - but we had already met him so that obviously was not true either.
We desperately wanted to do the tour so the company offered us the same tour next morning which we accepted, even though it ruined our plans for the next day.
we did the tour but the original booking included dinner and the new guide called the office to be told that dinner was not included.
Faisal at Riyadh Hiking was full of excuses and not apologetic or nice to deal with.
The tour we booked seems to have been deleted but a pretty much identical tour was offered WITH DINNER at £92.36 where we paid £160 and didn't get the included meal.
I think that we were ripped off!!

Sorry for your experience, you didn’t say the full story, you missed the tour because you went somewhere and we couldn’t find you. Yes you showed up with your wife then you disappeared , the group couldn’t wait for you and they left at 2:30pm and still didn’t find you, your wife contacted us after 1 hour asking to bring the group back to the meeting point to take you which is not possible because they were out of the city and almost at the location. We offered to your wife the same tour that booked the next day but she said you have a flight at night so you can’t make it. Then we offered you a morning trips with a private car come to pick you up from the hotel and drop you off. Which is for extra charge but we didn’t charge you. And you’re wife accepted the offer and the trip started at 8am , at 11am you the guide contacted us asking for dinner , there’s no dinner at 11am and i informed your wife that before the trip that it will be different schedule, after you both came you ( the husband) contacted us saying (now you will have the deal with me not with my wife anymore) which is too late . You had the trip and the tour guide said you both enjoyed it so much. We also took you to the bats cave which is not included.
We have right for not taking you for the trip the next day because you missed your trip. But we didn’t and we took you for the trip the next day after we had a deal with your wife.

exciting landscape with outside pick nicks . sunset is beautiful. hike on top of the cliff is a challenge but not so difficult.

My experience with this tour company was disappointing. Despite being asked to arrive by 1:30 pm for a 2 pm start, the company did not show up until just before 2 pm. Upon arrival, there were no tour guides or operators present. Instead, they assigned us to different cars without any explanation of the tour schedule. Throughout the tour, there was a lack of guidance or information provided by the drivers. It felt more like aimless riding than a structured tour. Additionally, the quality of the food provided was subpar. Even other tourists, including Saudi Arabian visitors, expressed dissatisfaction with the food quality. It's disappointing that such poor-quality meals were provided to tourists. Overall, I would not recommend this tour company.

A good company. Great supper in the desert. Only downside was the trash at the Edge. I mean, old tires, thousands of plastic bottles, and bags of trash in the parking lot. I think it could be much better with little effort.

I enjoyed the trip to the edge of the world!! The journey was comfortable and the sights were fascinating. There was good time given to sight seeing. the camp set up was beautiful.
The parts where there needs improvement is the food!! The dinner was delayed and tasteless.
We didnt have any water or snack, till after the hike we got water when we asked. There was no guide available to tell us about the amazing landscape.

The trip was amazing and our driver very friendly and kind.
The view is well worth it .
You really need 4x4 SUV to get there.
The dinner on the other hand was very poor quality and not really worth it to waste another two h on that . We were hoping to get some Saudi traditional food meantime we got big plate of rice, spoon of overcooked plane pasta and 3 small chicken cubes each .

The drive through the desert was great fun,thanks to the racing skills of our driver.
The experience of the edge, unbelievable
NO guide to give any information at all
To drive nearly 2 hours without offering water, not even when we left for hiking, it's in a country like Saudi a no go. Snacks and drinks we got AFTER everything, in the evening.
Dinner was great
