Embracing the Edge of the World
As the sun rises over Riyadh, the city awakens to a day filled with promise and exploration.

The tour begins with a drive through the Tuwaiq mountains, where the air is filled with stories of the past. The dried rivers below tell tales of resilience and survival, while the camels and their herders continue their age-old journey. Walking along the old camel tracks, you can almost hear the whispers of history carried by the wind. This is more than just a tour; it’s a pilgrimage to a place where the earth and sky meet, offering a moment of reflection and spiritual connection.

The Red Sand Dunes, located in northeastern Riyadh, are a playground for the soul.

This is a time to connect with nature and with yourself, to find peace in the simplicity of the desert.
