3-Day Tour: Edge of the World, City tour and Red Sand from Riyadh

第1天 From Riyadh to Edge of the world

1. 1

   Edge of The World

   6小时 含门票

   The Edge of the World (its real name is Jabel Fihrayn), one of Saudi’s most popular tourist destinations, got its nickname from the uninterrupted view of the horizon it offers atop its 300-meter-high cliffs, which overlook the surrounding plain. It’s part of the much longer Tuwaiq escarpment, and drops down roughly 305 meters into an ancient ocean bed. From the top of the cliffs, you’ll spot dried rivers weaving across the land and may even see camels moving far below — an ancient caravan route once passed through these grounds.
