The experience

Edge of the World sits about 100 kilometers from Riyadh at the end of an 800-kilometer mountain range. The tour picks you up from the airport or your hotel and drives you out to the trailhead in an air-conditioned vehicle. Once there, you hike to the cliff top, where the plateau simply ends and the view opens across the desert below. The whole outing takes four to five hours from pickup to drop-off.

Your guide speaks English or Arabic and leads the hike, pointing out the landscape and the geology of the Tuwaik range as you climb. Bottled water and snacks travel with you, and there's time at the top to take in the views and photograph the off-cliff vista that makes this spot known among hikers in the region.
