Edge of the World Tour from Riyadh – With Heritage Stop at Qarina Village

Your unforgettable day begins the moment you arrive. Your dedicated tour leader and driver will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name—no need to search. From the first handshake to the final goodbye, you’ll be in good hands.

Once you’re comfortably seated in the vehicle, your tour leader will introduce the journey, offering interesting insights about the city, local culture, and everything you’ll see along the way. It’s more than just a transfer—it’s a story unfolding.

First Stop: Qarina Heritage Village

Before heading into the vast desert, we’ll make a scenic stop at Qarina Heritage Village—a hidden gem just outside Riyadh. This charming village offers a glimpse into traditional Saudi life, with mudbrick architecture, historical displays, and authentic Najdi culture. It’s the perfect place to connect with the roots of the kingdom before heading to its wild, natural edges.

Main Highlight: The Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn)

ext, we journey deep into the desert—around 120 km northwest of Riyadh—to one of Saudi Arabia’s most jaw-dropping natural wonders: The Edge of the World. Known locally as Jebel Fihrayn, this dramatic escarpment rises 1,000 feet above the surrounding plain, offering breathtaking panoramic views that stretch endlessly toward the horizon.

As you stand on these towering cliffs, the sky and desert seem to blend into one—creating the surreal illusion that you’re standing at the literal edge of the planet. The silence, the wind, the sheer scale of it all—an experience that awakens your senses and stirs your soul.

You'll also spot ancient dried riverbeds and wandering camel caravans below—a scene unchanged for centuries. This area once lay along an old caravan route, and you’ll feel the echoes of history beneath your feet.

Optional: Traditional Saudi Lunch at Najd Village Restaurant

After your exploration, you have the option to enjoy a traditional Saudi lunch at the renowned Najd Village Restaurant in Riyadh. It’s more than a meal—it’s a cultural experience. Dine in beautifully restored heritage rooms, with floor seating and classic decor, and enjoy dishes passed down through generations. Think Kabsa, Jareesh, and dates with Arabic coffee in a setting that feels like a step back in time.
