Discover the Edge of the World: A Morning of Awe and Adventure
As the sun begins its ascent over Riyadh, the city awakens to a day of exploration and wonder. For those seeking the thrill of the unknown, the Edge of the World Tour awaits. This exclusive morning adventure, starting at 3:30 AM, promises a journey to the brink of the world itself. As you traverse the vast desert landscapes, the allure of the endless horizon captivates your senses. The drive from Riyadh to Huraymila is a prelude to the breathtaking vistas that await.
The tour offers a unique opportunity to witness the natural beauty of Huraymila National Park. With complimentary bottled water and tasty snacks, comfort is assured as you explore the park’s distinct desert scenery. The in-vehicle air conditioning ensures a pleasant journey, allowing you to focus on the stunning views.

“Must go tour - At-Turaif District is a remarkable historical site that can be used to explore the formation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The evening is a better choice but a change in start time may not be allowed. In my case, we started the tour from 11 am. It was hot but it was okay for me. But, in the summer, you may not feel comfortable during the daytime tour. I highly recommend visiting this must-see destination after sunset. Opting for a private tour significantly enhances the experience. My guide, Naha, was exceptional; I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Saudi Arabia’s history through her insights. If you plan to visit Riyadh, I suggest arranging a tour with her. Additionally, the visit provided me with a deep understanding of Islamic culture.” - Reviewed at 2024-04-21

“Amazing the Red sand dunes!!! - It’s simply wonderful, the driver picked me, very nice and gentleman, when we arrived in the desert took a ride with a camel and then I ride a moto4 at the dunes. It was amazing. Then a nice dinner with kabsa at a traditional Saudi restaurant. I’ll repeat when I come back with my family. Thank you Amed and Riyadh Trips.” - Reviewed at 2024-11-25
