Well organized and great guide. - The city tour was very beautiful with a friendly guide who catered to all our needs. We watched the sunset from the red sands and how the salt is extracted was very special. Finally, Shaqraa had beautiful museums.

Wow!!! - My husband and I had the most unforgettable experience in Saudi Arabia, all thanks to our phenomenal tour guide, Badr! From start to finish, Badr went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, engaged, and immersed in the incredible culture and landscapes of the region. The day started with a scenic drive to the salt flats, where we enjoyed tea with one of Badr’s friends and were gifted fresh Saudi salt—a thoughtful and unique touch. From there, Badr took us deep into the desert for a camel ride, where the stunning scenery and serene atmosphere were simply magical. Next, we visited a breathtaking secret lake surrounded by sand dunes with the softest sand I’ve ever experienced. Climbing up those dunes to watch the sunset was a moment I’ll treasure forever—a true oasis in every sense of the word! Afterward, we shared tea with local Saudis, soaking in their warmth and hospitality before heading to the Hadrat Heritage Museum in Shaqra. We learned so much about the area’s history, and the experience was made even more special with a meal of delicious, traditional food prepared by a local chef at the Hleiwah heritage souk. To top it all off, Badr brought along his pet falcon, who joined us at the souk for dinner! He let me hold and pet the falcon, which was such an incredible and rare experience—it added an unforgettable, personal touch to an already amazing day. Throughout the tour, Badr’s kindness, expert driving, and passion for sharing the beauty of his country were unmatched. His friends were equally welcoming and generous, making this one of the most enriching and heartwarming experiences of our travels. If you’re visiting Saudi Arabia, this tour is an absolute must! We cannot recommend Badr highly enough and hope to see him again in the future. Thank you, Badr, for making this journey so extraordinary!

Our tour guide was interested and informative. - My friend and I set off from Riyadh, passing by the beautiful farms, stopping to ride camels, then we went to the second stop and stocked up on our drinks, then we went to the sand lake inside the red sands, took some beautiful pictures, saw the salt lakes, moved to the heritage village of Shaqra, and enjoyed watching the old museum. It was a wonderful tour.

Great tour - The city tour was great. We enjoyed watching the sunset, walking on the salt water and learning about how salt is extracted. The museum tour was great and also the Shaqra heritage tour had an old feel.

Exceptional memory of visiting Riyadh. - Badar our tour guide made us have truly exceptional experience on the Riyadh City Tour. As soon we were picked from our hotel made feel comfortable and treated like his own family. His polite manners and provided details of all Riyadh history and developments for projects currently being constructed whilst were travelling to the main locations of the tour. His timing at each location and explaining the historical facts was a history lesson of Riyadh, was incredible. The camel ride was unique experince. Made exceptional effort for us see the sunset. We will remember this tour as value adding to our life. Finally ended in Shaqra Heritage Museum, with local history expert and enjoyed a traditional evening meal. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wishes remember their holidays.
