My main purpose for visiting Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was for a business trip, so I didn't have much time to go out. I went to many places on a whim during the meeting, and my goal was just to say "I've been here", so I didn't go into much detail. I probably won't come back unless I have a special reason, so I thought I'd visit the classic attractions as a souvenir. The Edge of the World is a "cliff" located in the Gobi Desert outside Riyadh. It is famous for its "spectacular" appearance in the desolate wilderness, especially at sunset, when the golden sun shines on the cliff, giving people a sense of desolation at the end of the world. It takes about two hours to drive from the city center, and the road is not very easy to drive. The last part of the road is directly on the Gobi Desert, which is very bumpy, so if you have elderly people, you may want to consider it carefully. There is a place to rest and go to the bathroom halfway, and this is the only place to rest. Once you enter the Gobi Desert, there are no rest stops or stores. When you arrive, you will really feel that it is worth the trip. We also decided to go to the Edge of the World on a whim, and a Chinese friend who was traveling with us had booked a small car on Trip.com, so we went with them, so we didn't make any special preparations. It is recommended to bring some snacks and water, and wear sportswear, as there is a lot of dust along the way. 🔔Tips: 1. The Edge of the World is about 2.5 hours drive from Riyadh (one way), so it is recommended to prepare for the afternoon + evening free time. 2. The attraction is located in the Gobi Desert, and you need to walk a short distance after arriving, so it is recommended to wear sneakers. 3. Bring a copy or photo of your visa, as police officers will randomly check it. 4. The best time to visit is at sunset, so it is better to book an afternoon tour and go on a sunny day. 5. If you are lucky enough, you will meet a falconer on the edge of the cliff and take a free photo with the falcon. 6. It is recommended to bring a selfie stick to take pictures of yourself, the cliff, and the afterglow.

1. Kingdom Centre Tower 🗼✨ This is a landmark building in Riyadh, standing at 311 meters tall with 99 floors, making it the second tallest skyscraper in Saudi Arabia. The Sky Bridge on the top of the tower is located on the 99th floor, 300 meters above the ground, and is a suspended observation deck offering a panoramic view of Riyadh's skyline, especially at sunset. 🌇 Recommended visit duration: 0.5 days. 2. Ad Diriyah 🏰 Known as the "Pearl of Saudi Arabia," it is one of Riyadh's most important tourist attractions. The ancient city is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Al Turaif, which was once the earliest royal palace of the Saudi royal family, preserving the 15th-century Najdi architectural style. 🏰 The city also features historical buildings such as Salwa Palace and Saad bin Saud Palace, as well as Bujairi Terrace, where you can enjoy international cuisine. 🥩 Recommended visit duration: 0.5-1 days. 3. Edge of the World 🌋 Located in the desert northwest of Riyadh, about a 3-hour drive from the city center. This is a natural geological landscape, with cliffs about 300 meters high, offering a breathtaking view of the desolate Gobi Desert from the edge. 🌋 Recommended visit duration: 1-2 days. 4. Masmak Fort 🏰 This is a historic fort that witnessed the founding of Saudi Arabia. It has now been converted into a museum, showcasing early 20th-century photographs, artworks, and multimedia exhibitions. 📚 5. National Museum of Saudi Arabia 🏛️ Also known as the King Abdulaziz Historical Center (KAHC), it is an outstanding representation of Saudi history and culture. The museum has eight themed galleries, displaying archaeological discoveries, artifacts, and interactive exhibits. 🎨 6.

Just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia, finally checked off the country of wealth from my bucket list, and found that it was quite different from my stereotype. Take Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, for example. It is a modern city with a "money" power that rises in the heart of the desert. I have summarized 6 must-visit places in and around the city. If you are planning a trip, you can go directly after reading this guide! ▫️ 💚%Arabica It is said to be the largest %Arabica in the world. Most malls and restaurants in Riyadh open after 12:00 pm, but this coffee shop opens at 7:00 am. If you want to take photos with no one around, I suggest you go early. The interior of the building is pure white, which looks very stylish. It has two floors, with a U-shaped coffee bar in the atrium, a glass curtain wall of the roasting workshop, and a viewing seat upstairs, all of which are great for taking photos. ▫️ 💚Kingdom Tower It is currently the tallest building in Riyadh, and it looks like a bottle opener from a distance (friends from Shanghai should understand, haha). The shape of the building is designed to withstand the wind and sand in the desert and to resemble the way locals dress in robes. The Kingdom Tower has 99 floors in total, and the sky bridge on the top floor offers a panoramic view of Riyadh. ▫️ 💚National Museum Museum lovers should not miss it. The museum has a total of 8 exhibition halls and more than 4,000 exhibits. The garden in the courtyard and the park outside the museum are like oases in the yellow sand of Riyadh, which is refreshing. ▫️ 💚Diriyah Diriyah is the former site of the Saudi dynasty and a UNESCO-certified must-visit place in Saudi Arabia. Admission is free before 5:00 pm every day, and a 50 riyal ticket is required after 5:00 pm, but it can be used for dining in the ancient city. The most famous building in the ancient city is Turaif in the center. When the lights come on in the evening, the whole ancient city looks mysterious and beautiful. ▫️ 💚Edge of the World It is about a 2-hour drive from downtown Riyadh, and the second half of the road is a difficult dirt road, so it is not recommended to drive there by yourself. Here you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over the desert and the Gobi Desert, as well as the spectacular rock formations, which is a must-see attraction in Saudi Arabia in my mind.

The Cliff of the World is located on the ridge of the Tuwaiq Mountain range northwest of Riyadh, and is a unique scenery of the Shuaib AlHesiyyah Nature Reserve • Standing on the edge of the platform in the distance Looking at the steep cliffs and deep abyss At sunset, the golden sunlight shines on the cliffs, which is extremely shocking Admiring the wonders of nature, especially under the sunlight It's spectacular and shocking beyond words! • The Cliff of the World is a spot I think is very worth visiting around Riyadh, and you will find quite a few Chinese compatriots, I feel this spot has been hyped up by the Chinese - 🚗Road experience: The journey made me very uncomfortable, shaking for at least 45 minutes, After arriving, you have to walk for 30 minutes, not too hard to walk • 🚗How to get there: The road to the Cliff of the World is very difficult to drive, you must have a professional four-wheel drive, there are many group tours to the Cliff of the World! 💰Charter cost: about 2500-3000 for a 7-seater There are also 4500 groups online, which is more than chartering a car by yourself, with some desert sunset afternoon tea experience 🛹Interesting things: On the way back, it was dark at sunset, suddenly our car's battery was not in good contact, and it couldn't start and couldn't drive Then a group of us opened the flashlight on our phones by the side of the road waiting for the car behind, I didn't expect it to be the last car! I feel extremely lucky, because they didn't have the tools to charge the battery, they went out to call someone During the waiting process, our car miraculously revived, so we also had the experience of watching the stars under the starry sky together

The sense of mystery at the end of the world is not exaggerated at all. Have some afternoon tea and sit on the cliff waiting for the sunset. It's a two and a half hour drive from Riyadh. Generally, only short-bodied off-road vehicles can get in. And there's no road, no signal! The vague mountain road is pressed out by the car. Without a guide, it's easy to get lost inside. Completely undeveloped. It's really worth the trip.

[Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn) | Riyadh "A 270° spectacular view overlooking the edge of the earth"] — A cliff of about 300m continues endlessly. The desert that stretches to the horizon evokes a sense of unreality as if standing on the "edge of the world" — About 120km northwest of Riyadh, Jebel Fihrayn is part of the Tuwayq Escarpment, and the 305m high rock walls continue. It is a spot that looks great on social media with its overwhelming natural scenery called "the edge of the earth" . ⸻ 📍[Location and Access] About 1-2 hours by car from the center of Riyadh. The road is unpaved and rocky, so a 4WD or SUV is essential. The off-road road has buffer gates, which are often open on weekends (Friday and Saturday). 🕰️ [Best time] Sunrise and sunset in winter (October to March) are cool and beautiful, and the photos are great (). Morning and evening tours are also popular. ⸻ ✨ Recommended points • Spectacular cliff views: The red desert land seen from the top of the cliff is truly an overwhelming "edge" experience!  • Light hiking: There are trails that take about 2 hours each way, walking on the cliffs and descending into the valley below. • Camping and stargazing: It's safe at night, and perfect for stargazing photography (tours with dinner and camping are also popular). • Romance of geology: You can feel the history of how the strata that were once the sea rose up and formed the cliffs.  ⸻ 🎒 Tips • Go by 4WD or SUV: A car that can withstand unpaved roads and rocky paths is essential () • Water and snacks are essential: There are no shops in the desert. Make sure you bring plenty of drinks and snacks! • Choosing the right time is key: It's too hot during the day, so aim for early morning or late afternoon. Be careful of cold nights in winter. • We recommend using a tour: The roads are difficult to find, so a shuttle + guided tour is safe and efficient. #Absolutely free trip #Riyadh #Saudi Arabia

☀️ Sunrise at the Edge of the World | Witness the first ray of light at the edge of the Earth 🏛️ National Museum Through the Ages | The epic tale of Arabian Peninsula civilization 📚 Riyadh Library Reflection | A green oasis of knowledge in the desert 🌆 Kingdom Tower Sunset | A panoramic view of the futuristic city from the clouds 🚶 Al-Murabba Old Town City Walk | Traditional markets and royal palace courtyards

Edge of the World is located on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As the name suggests, it is a cliff that makes it seem as if the earth ends here. Dry land stretches out indefinitely, and the sky is bright blue. The moment I stood in the unobstructed space, I had the illusion that I was on the outside of the map. 📍Location About 1.5 to 2 hours by car from the center of Riyadh (4WD recommended) *It is difficult to get there on your own, so it is common to join a tour *The road is unpaved and rough 🕰️Sightseeing time Daytime only (morning to evening) *It is cool in the morning, and the sunset is spectacular in the evening✨ 💸Estimated cost ・Participate in a local tour: (about 7,000 to 10,000 yen) 🌟Points learned from the experience ・It is high up, so watch your step! But the thrill is great. - There is no shade, so a hat, water, and sunglasses are a must ☀️😎💧 - The view from the cliff is even more amazing than in the photos. 💬One comment: "Breathtaking views are not enough to describe it. It feels like I'm standing on the earth." "Places where people look small make you feel bigger." #EdgeOfTheWorld #SaudiArabiaTrip #BreathtakingViewAtTheEdgeOfTheEarth #RiyadhTrip #StandingAtTheEdgeOfTheWorld #BreathtakingViewTravel

#February2025 #SaudiArabia #Riyadh Located in the suburbs of Riyadh, it takes about 50 minutes to arrive from the city. The last section is not paved road You must have a four-wheel drive car to drive in. It is more convenient to join a local tour We set out from the city at 4 o'clock and went to see camels and take photos on the way. Arrived at edge of the world at almost 5 o'clock The landform really looks like the Grand Canyon. In this vast scenery, human beings feel so small. The advantage of arriving in the evening is that you can also watch the sunset The sunset + canyon view is really beautiful! For those who like hiking, there are also hiking trails of different difficulty levels. Even at night, you can see the road without turning on the headlights. ⚠️Tips: ✅ Wear comfortable walking shoes (the road is not stable and not easy to walk on) ✅Bring your own water, snacks, and jacket (There are no shops here, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge) ✅There is a gas station on the way and I need to go to the toilet, but there is no toilet here ✅If you want to hike, it is recommended to come on weekends, because there are not many people on weekdays, and if something happens, no one will know (some places have no signal at all)

⛰️ The Cliff of the World, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Edge of The World ——Chasing a sunset at the end of the world🌄 Note: One way trip takes more than 2 hours, and the last half hour is spent driving on the Gobi Desert. A four-wheel drive off-road vehicle and a driver familiar with the road conditions are required. It is recommended to charter a car, as self-driving is a bit risky.

Chinese citizens can apply for electronic visas, with multiple entries within a year and stays of up to 90 days, making travel super convenient. Riyadh: A Blend of Modern and Traditional The capital, Riyadh, is a charming city. Here you'll find the 99-story "bottle opener"—Kingdom Centre Tower. Standing on the top-floor skybridge, you can overlook the entire bustling city😍. There's also the recognized World Heritage Site, At-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah, where Najdi-style architecture showcases a unique Arabian style. And the "Edge of the World" northwest of Riyadh is even more stunning. Standing in the desert, it feels like you're at the end of the world. AlUla: An Ancient Legend in the Desert AlUla, located in northwestern Saudi Arabia, is a must-visit to experience Saudi Arabia's ancient civilization and desert scenery. Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, features over 130 tombs that resemble a large open-air museum. Elephant Rock, shaped like an elephant, is one of the iconic attractions of the AlUla Valley. There's also Maraya Concert Hall, the world's largest mirrored building, reflecting the magnificent scenery of the surrounding valleys and sand dunes during the day and the desert starry sky at night—breathtakingly beautiful. Jeddah: The "Maldives" on the Red Sea Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's coastal city, with coastal scenery comparable to the Maldives. The west coast of the city, near the Red Sea, is the perfect spot to watch the Red Sea sunset and the spectacular King Fahd's Fountain, one of the world's largest fountains. The Floating Mosque, built along the Red Sea, is extremely romantic with its pure white main structure and blue-green dome. Al-Balad, the historic district, is also not to be missed. The buildings here, mostly built in the early 16th-20th centuries, are constructed with coral stones from the Red Sea, and the doors and windows are painted in bright, vibrant colors, full of cultural charm. In addition to the beautiful scenery, Saudi Arabia's cuisine is also very distinctive😄. Shawarma, for example, is marinated meat wrapped in flatbread with fresh vegetables and special sauces, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Kabsa, the national dish, is a flavorful rice dish seasoned with spices and served with lamb, chicken, or fish, hearty and delicious. There are also snacks like falafel and hummus, which are also very good. In short, Saudi Arabia is a country with an air of mystery, with modern romance, historical civilization, wild deserts, and unique, naturally formed wonders—beautiful and full of treasures. If you want to experience extreme solitude and romance, you must visit Saudi Arabia🎉. Kingdom Centre: Located in the heart of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, it is a landmark building and the largest and most important financial and economic center in Riyadh. Once the tallest building in the Middle East, it still holds the position of the second tallest building in the Middle East. The tower houses numerous offices, a five-star hotel, and 44 luxury suites. From the top of this tower, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Riyadh. (II) Old Royal Palace: Located in the Hanifa Valley, 16 km northwest of Riyadh. This was once the ancient capital of the former Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the birthplace of the Saudi family. Many mosques were built within the ancient capital, which was the base for Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab to spread Wahhabism. Currently, the only relatively well-preserved ruin of the ancient capital is this old royal palace, built with mud, stone, dried citrus, dried date palm leaves, and trunks. It is mainly composed of two- or three-story mud buildings, many of which have already collapsed. (III) Masmak Fortress: Located in the southern suburbs of Riyadh, 23 km from Riyadh Airport, it was built in 1865. In Arabic, it means "tall and thick building," which is the most appropriate name for this sturdy fortress. Its walls are very thick, a full 18 inches, and at each corner, there is a huge 18-meter-high watchtower, emphasizing its impregnability and stability. (IV) Taif: The summer capital of Saudi Arabia. Luxurious residences and villas have been built here. Taif preserves many ancient relics, including a castle built during the Ottoman Empire, a military fortress built during the Arabian Peninsula War, the Abdullah Al-Abbas Mosque, which was first built in the 6th-7th centuries, and King Faisal's palace, Shubra Palace. (V) Rub' al Khali: Meaning "Empty Quarter," it gets its name from covering about a quarter of the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the largest deserts in the world. (VI) Mecca: Located in the valley of the Ibrahim Wadi in the middle section of the Sarawat Mountains in western Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is located on the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia, and Mecca, the first holy city of Islam, is located in the valley of the Ibrahim Wadi in the middle section of the Sarawat Mountains in western Saudi Arabia. (VII) Hegra Archaeological Site (Mada'in Saleh): Formerly known as Hegra, it is the largest preserved site of the Nabataean civilization south of Petra, Jordan. (VIII) At-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah: The At-Turaif District in ad-Dir'iyah is the location of the first capital of the Saudi dynasty, located in central Arabia, northwest of Riyadh, and was first built in the 15th century. (IX) King Fahd's Fountain: The tallest fountain in the world. Built between 1980 and 1983 and put into use in 1985, King Fahd's Fountain is a very special fountain. It is not located in a palace or a square, but in the sea. (X) Floating Mosque: Located on the Corniche Road in Jeddah, the second largest city in Saudi Arabia, it is built on the edge of the Red Sea and supported by several thick cement pillars. From a distance, it looks like it is standing on the water, hence the name Floating Mosque. The mosque has a simple and elegant appearance, and the calm pool in front makes it truly beautiful, with its reflection in the water even more charming.

| The Ultimate Romance at the End of the World. The Edge of the World is a place of legend, and I have longed to visit for a long time. Today, I finally set foot on this dreamlike land to explore the hidden beauty between the mountains and the sea. 🌊 The view from the cliff is like a dreamlike painting. Standing on the edge of the cliff, the vast sea is in full view. The waves crash against the cold cliffs, and the splashing waves are like a majestic symphony composed by the sea and the land. The setting sun casts a warm orange glow over the entire cliff, creating a magnificent scene that is mesmerizing. It is as if time has stopped in this dreamlike twilight. 💨 The gentle sea breeze carries the unique salty scent of the sea, gently ruffling my hair and caressing my face. If I close my eyes and listen to the whispers of the wind, I can feel my body and mind being gently wrapped by the sea breeze. The troubles of the world are blown away, leaving only a sense of clarity and peace. Looking into the distance, the horizon is like the beginning of chaos, where it is impossible to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. It is the end of the world and the source of romance, full of mystery and the unknown, inviting me to dream and imagine. 📷 In this scene, taking photos is a must. No matter the angle or pose, every frame has a cinematic quality. A back view blends into the mountains and the sea, expressing a sense of loneliness and freedom. A close-up of my wind-blown cheeks shows vitality and emotion. A panoramic view captures the vastness of the world, preserving this breathtaking romance forever. 💕 The Edge of the World is like a spiritual sanctuary outside the world, where romance and healing intertwine. Every inch of air here is filled with a sense of freedom and tranquility, and every scene tells the story of nature's craftsmanship. I sincerely recommend that all travelers come here to experience this dreamlike journey that touches the soul, to let their weary souls rest, and to continue their romantic stories.

Most tours include snacks and water, and dinner is also included at a campsite-like place. We meet on the outskirts of Riyadh around 1pm, and from there we travel for about 2 hours. On the way, we also get to interact with camels and explore caves. The tour guide driver was very friendly, and the journey was lively and extremely fun.

Edge of the world is located some 100km NW from the capital of KSA Riyadh. Up to about 30km, road is good, until you reach tarmac road. Even that road is not that bad, there a few spots that are not drivable without a 4x4 or at least higher car. I ventured with a regular small car, and was eventually stopped some 5km before goal. Luckily a group picked me up and drove me to the final spot. Pictures I did, do net give the spot the right justice, it is magnificent, and definitely worth the trip.

During my trip to Saudi Arabia during the National Day holiday, the place that left a deep impression on me was of course the Cliff of the World. Usually attractions with "world" in the title make me feel flashy, but this place really surprised me. Is Cliff of the World worth it after being asked in the circle of friends? Some people say that it’s just a bunch of Gobi deserts, and there’s nothing you can’t see. Some people say that the sunset in the desert is desolate and beautiful, but this trip still lives up to it. Regarding the ✅ and ❌ of World Cliff, I have summarized them below. As for whether it is worth it or not, you can weigh it yourself. ▫️ 🚗The Cliff of the World is about a 2-hour drive from downtown Riyadh. There is no public transportation to reach it. It is usually recommended to charter a car or join a local group. 🏃Route: Riyadh-Local Ancient Village-Bat Cave-Cliff of the World 🌟Notes: 1️⃣It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking point to the Cliff of the World viewing point. There is sand and dust all the way, and it is very sunny. It is recommended that everyone wear sun protection, wear a hat and sunglasses, and prepare a bottle of water, otherwise you will be very thirsty. 2️⃣ It is not recommended to drive by yourself, because the second half of the journey from Riyadh to Cliff of the World is completely bumpy dirt road, and there is no signal. It will be really scary when you return after watching the sunset and everything is dark. ▫️ ✅Worthful points: 👉The sun is really big near the equator, and the round red sun looks so shocking~ 👉The group of Gobi rocks on the Cliff of the World are amazing up close! Like a giant rising from the ground, standing abruptly in the desert. 👉After watching the sunset in the desert, local groups usually have a starry sky tent dinner. Although the meal is average, when you look up you see the Milky Way and you can’t help but wow! ▫️ ❌Not worth it: 👉It was a nearly 2-hour car ride, and the second half of it was really bumpy. All the dust that was raised along the way entered the car, and the air conditioner couldn't filter it out at all. People who get motion sickness will doubt their life. 👉The scenic spots we passed on the way, the ancient village and the Bat Cave, are not good for anyone who goes there. The ancient village is just a bunch of abandoned houses without any maintenance. I didn’t see a single one 🦇 inside the Bat Cave, and it was very hot. 👉After struggling for so long, the time to wait for the sunset at the Cliff of the World was very short, probably less than an hour, so the drive back and forth took 4 hours, and most of it was bumpy on the dirt road... ▫️ Anyway, if you travel to Riyadh, Cliff of the World is still the most worthwhile place in my mind. If you have enough time, I still recommend going there. After all... you have come!

Wonderful place to see a view that I never seen before. Just only one problem is too hot there… All the outdoor activities have to do in late afternoon till night, but you won’t regret to be there once in your life time 🤩 Daytime we can go to shopping centers, museum, or attend some indoor activities.

Saudi Arabia, the second largest desert in the Arab world. In the past, this area was an ocean. Therefore, we will see many fossils of shells scattered throughout the area. Since Saudi Arabia has only recently opened the country to tourists, nature is quite complete in the way it is.

The first stop of the fifth season of Flowers and Boys is Saudi Arabia, which offers 96-hour visa-free transit. I can’t believe that one day I can drink coffee in the desert. The canyon in the desert, the swimming pool in front of the hotel, and the mirror concert hall all amaze me. It is worthy of being listed as a World Cultural Heritage. If you are also attracted by the group "Flowers and Youth", then hurry up and start playing💃 The strategy is ready📝 Girls👩‍🏫 pay attention‼ : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
