Tour Itinerary

“The Inaugural Monarch’s Residence, Muraba Palace,” is a two-story square structure with 32 rooms. Built in 1939 by King Abdulaziz Al Saud, it served as both the omcial residence and government headquarters.
Visit “The National Museum: A Journey Through Time and Space,” which opened in 1998, showcasing 3,700 artifacts, including statues, scripts, and unique sculptures chronicling Earth’s history to the moon and beyond.
Explore Dira Souq for vintage copper and brass items, silver daggers, Bedouin jewelry, and traditional attire. It’s a great place to buy antique carpets and Saudi heritage items.
Rajhi Grand Mosque is Riyadh’s largest mosque, offering insight into Islam for non-Muslim visitors and providing a glimpse into daily life in Saudi Arabia.
Enjoy an overnight stay in a Riyadh hotel.

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. At-Turaif District, part of Diriyah and one of Saudi Arabia’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, includes Salwa Palace, the former center of governance for the first Saudi state. 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.
Overnight in a Riyadh hotel.

Nestled 200km northwest of Riyadh in the heart of Najd, Ushaiqer has a rich history. Inhabited by Bedouins for 1,500 years, it became a favored stop for pilgrims en route to Mecca, thanks to its springs and abundant olive and palm groves. Ushaiqer, translating to ‘little blonde’ in reference to the nearby red mountain overlooking yellow mud houses, is more than a relic. A small community still thrives here with schools, shops, and mosques. Wandering its narrow streets feels like stepping into a living museum, adorned with remnants of an ancient lifestyle.
Ushaiqer is enclosed by thick walls, forming a maze of twisting alleys, dappled passageways, and timber-supported walkways connecting mud houses. These homes exhibit the unique Najdi architectural style, featuring triangular windows, rooftops, and intricately carved wooden doors, some still bearing the names of their former residents.
Don’t miss the Al Salem Museum, established by the village’s inhabitants, which houses a vast collection of artifacts, including embroidered garments, jewelry, ceramics, weapons, and cooking utensils.
Overnight stay in a Riyadh hotel.

Experience Riyadh’s allure on the Sky Bridge at Kingdom Center, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the city from a 300-meter height. The secure glass panels allow you to enjoy starry nights and the city’s illuminated streets and buildings. Capture the moment with selfies against the stunning city backdrop on clear days.
After savoring the view, visit the 77th floor to explore King Abdullah Mosque, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s highest mosque. And don’t miss the opportunity for world-class and local shopping at Kingdom Center.
For an adventurous experience in Riyadh, head to Red Sand in the city’s northeast, a red desert dune area, almost identical to the famous Wadi Rum in Jordan, offering thrilling activities like self-sand bashing and fast-paced buggy riding. The Thamama desert promises excitement, followed by a satisfying dinner to
conclude your day.

   I recently had the absolute pleasure of embarking on a tour with Trip500 Tours in Jordan, and I cannot sing their praises enough! From start to finish, this experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I am still in awe of the breathtaking beauty I encountered during the tours of Petra and Wadi Rum.

The attention to detail and the level of professionalism displayed by Trip500 Tours were second to none. From the comfortable transportation to the delicious local cuisine provided, every aspect of the tour was meticulously planned and executed.
I Highly recommend Trip500 Tours to anyone planning a visit to Jordan
