Program details
An exciting drive to the
amazing “Edge of the World”, located on the 1000-kilometer-long Tuwaiq escarpment where the
viewpoints from the top of the 300-meter-high cliffs are particularly dramatic. On our way to the most famous natural wonder of Riyadh Province.
Edge of the World is the name of the 1.131 m2 height cliff that lies some 100 km from Riyadh at the end of the 800 km extending
Tuwaik Mountain range. Edge of the World is the perfect destination for
mountain climbing and hiking lovers. Discover the breathtaking off-cliff spectacular views.
Once at Edge of the World, we can hike along the
majestic cliffs and enjoy the
breathtaking viewpoints. Whilst enjoying traditional coffee, tea and a light meal there is an explanation about Saudi culture while we watch the
picturesque sunset.
On the cliffs of Tuwaik Mountain with its distinguishing dry soil-free surface, you can enjoy the desert environment view with its arid features. You will notice
Samar trees and acacias spreading over the land of the valley, while
ghodi trees and pole plants cover the majority of the
high fixed sand dunes. The characteristics of the carved mountains with their intriguing sight tell the story of their long resistance to erosion and survival against time factors.
Exploring the area, you may also discover some
snails and marine life fossils spreading here and there indicating the fact that the area had once been a marine habitat. Finally, winter-time is so special at Edge of the World when the beautiful nature is accompanied by the cold weather and rainy season.
