  • Historical Diriyah, located 20 km northwest of Riyadh, was where Imam Muhammad bin Saud founded the first Saudi state, bringing centuries of prosperity to the region.

Visiting Historical Diriyah is a unique opportunity to experience the region’s rich history.
  • The Edge of the World, a 1,130-meter-high cliff roughly 100 kilometers from Riyadh, marks the end of the Tuwaiq Mountain range. It offers stunning views of the desert landscape, with an endless horizon. The cliffs of Tuwaiq Mountain provide a unique perspective to appreciate the arid desert surroundings, including Samar and Acacia trees in the valley and Ghodi trees and Pole plants on the sand dunes. These mountains also reveal evidence of their long-standing resistance to erosion, including snails and marine fossils, remnants of their past as a marine habitat.
