Discover the Edge of the World, a dramatic geological wonder near Riyadh, on this guided sunset hike and starlit dinner tour. This experience combines rugged exploration, sweeping desert vistas, and authentic Arabian hospitality in the heart of the Tuwaiq Escarpment.
Begin your Edge of the World adventure with a moderate 2-hour hike across rocky desert terrain. Traverse ancient fossil beds and dry river valleys as your guide shares insights into the region’s 45-million-year-old geology. Reach the cliff edge (1,100m elevation) for panoramic views of the endless desert plains below.
As afternoon fades, watch the Tuwaiq cliffs transform under the sunset’s glow. The sandstone blazes in amber and crimson hues, creating unforgettable photo opportunities. Guides explain how Bedouin nomads historically used celestial navigation in this stark landscape.
After your hike, relax at a private desert camp with a gourmet Arabian dinner. Feast on dishes like kabsa (spiced rice with lamb), grilled shish tawook (marinated chicken), and ma’amoul (date-filled cookies). Sip cardamom-infused Arabic coffee while stargazing in the serene wilderness.
Opt for a sunrise hike (seasonal) or add a visit to nearby fossil sites where prehistoric marine life remnants are preserved in limestone.
Moderate fitness is required. The 4km trail includes uneven terrain and a 200m elevation gain.
Spot desert foxes, Arabian hares, or migratory birds. Guides carry binoculars for wildlife viewing.
Yes, for ages 10+ with hiking experience. Parents must assess their child’s stamina for the 2-hour trek.
The abrupt cliff drop-off creates an illusion of standing at the planet’s edge, overlooking vast uninhabited plains.
