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.

Hike the Tuwaiq Escarpment’s Rugged Trails

Begin your Edge of the World adventure with a moderate 2-hour hike across rocky desert terrain.

Reach the cliff edge (1,100m elevation) for panoramic views of the endless desert plains below.

Witness a Golden Desert Sunset

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.
