Great adventure despite the weather – highly recommend!
It was a very windy day, and unfortunately, the police were patrolling the area and wouldn't allow anyone to go up to the iconic top lookout because it was too dangerous. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get that specific picture, but our driver was fantastic and did an amazing job organising the afternoon despite the wind. We also had some nice coffee to keep us going. Later on, the driver was clever enough to find an alternative spot without police presence so we could still get some incredible photos, and he even took a great video of me. On the way there, he put the 4x4 to good use and did some drifting, which was incredibly cool! To top it all off, at the end of the day, he took us to a city overbridge to experience the urban views. Even though the weather changed our original plans, the driver made sure it was a brilliant day out. Great service!

Unforgetabble sunset experience in Riyadh
This was a great-value tour and easily one of the highlights of my short visit to Riyadh. The sunset viewed from the cliff edge is truly spectacular and ranks among the most memorable sights I’ve seen. Everything about the experience felt well worth it, especially for a brief stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area—it’s an unforgettable moment that really stands out.

If you have the opportunity, you should go.
I traveled solo, but joined a group tour in a 7-seater 4x4 vehicle. Along the way, we stopped to see gazelles and camels, and we reached the Edge of the World after about 2 hours of travel. It was even more breathtaking than the pictures showed – a vast desert stretching as far as the eye could see, with stunning cliffs. We were lucky to have an excellent guide who knew great angles for photography and helped us with taking pictures. He had a fantastic service mind and a wonderful attitude. His name is "Turki," and I must also thank his father, another guide, who took such good care of us throughout the trip. This trip was absolutely worth it!

Unfortunately, the...
Unfortunately, the fortress was unexpectedly closed, but our guide Aziz truly did his best to make the most out of the tour despite the circumstances. He shared a lot of insightful information and provided great context, which made the experience still very worthwhile. I highly recommend choosing Aziz as your guide if you want to learn more about Saudi Arabia.

Ten out of Ten Awesome Tour!
Travelling in a small group of 6 made the trip feel exclusive. It meant our guide was able to ensure we all felt looked after. He was great at answering our questions (even though English was not his first language), helped take some amazing photos (not just for us but anyone who asked!!) and generally made sure we all had a good time. The food at the camp was excellent. And our guide Mr Alghamdi - best guide ever!! I highly recommend this tour.

Best day out, couldn't have asked for more!
My guide, Abdullah, was excellent. He arrived early and was exactly where he said he'd be. Vehicle was clean and well maintained. His level of English was excellent and we quickly made friends. He shared great local / cultural knowledge with me and even introduced me to his pet falcon!
This tour takes you to the Al Manjour trail part of the Edge of the World, which is a lot closer to Riyadh than most tours take you and you'll spend less time on rough desert roads.
If you're searching for an edge of the world tour you don't need to tell you how breathtaking the view is but what I will tell you is that Abdullah is great at capturing the visit with great photo spots and even drone footage!
Please book this tour if you're in Riyadh and want to visit the Edge of the World.

The tour guide Abdulah take in serious his task to make you happy and enjoy the day among the others.
I really recommend this tour agency.
Thank you

To the edge of the world and back
Visited in the afternoon, we visited a camel farm and gazelles before heading to the edge of the world. This was a nice surprise. The edge of the world was defo worth a visit. The scenery was stunning just after the sun had set. The walk to the top wasnt long. There were a couple of different viewing points. The meal after sunset was lovely. Our driver was great, pointing out places on route. We had a great time
You defo needed a 4x4 to get there

Riyadh City Tour
This was a great experience and the guide Rakan was extremely knowledgeable and very nice! We hit most of the main sites in the city. And we even did the Al Rajhi Mosque which was not on the itinerary. We got an early start so we skipped At Turaif which opens at 5pm. I had gone the previous day separately otherwise I would be disappointed as it’s a lovely site (not to be missed)

Amazing trip idea!
This is definitely a must if you’re ever in Riyadh. The staff are amazing and they go above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great time. Our guide ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable during the entire trip. He even bought us water and ice cream before our trip commenced. Then he took us to see camels and gazelles. The overall tour was spectacular and ended with dinner during a sunset which he prepared and served for us.

Towering skyscrapers dominate the skyline in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s modern capital. But just outside the city limits, otherworldly desert landscapes await. Many Riyadh visitors head to Edge of the World, so named for its steep and dramatic sandstone cliffs. In this remote location, it’s especially efficient to travel with expert guides who can navigate rural roads and hiking trails with ease. Other Riyadh tours focus on cultural attractions, key historic landmarks, and local cuisine.
