What to expect

  1. Riyadh
    1h
    Meet your driver at your accommodation or the airport in Riyadh and take to the track leading to the exciting slopes at the edge of the world. Meet your hiking guide and follow the scenic hiking trail to the lookout point at the top of Mount Al-Fahren, where you will relax while having a picnic snack and enjoy views of Mount Al-Fahren. Then, head back down with stops along the way to visit the bat cave (optional). Once you arrive at the campsite, enjoy snacks served with coffee and tea, an archery experience and dinner accompanied by music. It ends with a return transfer to the pickup location on the outskirts of Riyadh.
  2. Edge of The World
    3h
    These cliffs rise dramatically from the desert, stretching toward the sky like a great natural wall. When you stand atop them and look toward the horizon, you have a prime view of the sky as it seems to melt into the barren earth. The Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn) is an unexpected and dramatic geological wonder in the rocky desert northwest of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The site earned its nickname because from atop the escarpment, you have an uninterrupted view of the horizon.
  3. 1h
    It’s part of the much longer Tuwaiq Escarpment, and drops down 1,000 feet into an ancient ocean bed. While standing on the cliffs, you’ll spot dried rivers weaving across the land, and see camels moving far below. These camels and their herders are following a well-trodden path, as an ancient caravan route once passed within its shadow.
