Edge of the World & Keshta
From USD 0
Breathe out loud from atop the Edge of the World
A scenic drive through the rugged Najd landscape to chase adrenaline and sunsets on a high cliff near Riyadh
An adventure in Riyadh of a lifetime awaits you at the breathtaking Edge of the World, where nature’s grandeur meets ancient history.
Begin with a moderate-intensity hike to the top of this 300-meter-high cliff, a geological marvel offering dramatically engaging glimpses of the vast desert landscape. Climbing higher, pass by bat caves, let yourself slow down to savor the spectacular view of the Tuwaiq Ranges, where the horizon stretches endlessly, touching distant islands of dunes that appear like waves across the desert. Traverse rugged paths lined with native flora and ancient fossils—a true taste of Arabian heritage. (on the weekends we avoid the bat cave route)
As dusk falls, gather at Wadi Huraymila for a cozy evening on the Keshta. Here, with warm Arabic karak or gahwa in hand, connect with fellow adventurers, sharing stories and reflections under the golden setting sun. Perhaps, enjoy some BBQ, rounding off an unforgettable journey that leaves you both enriched and inspired by the culture and rugged beauty of the Middle East.
This is one of the best things to do in Riyadh for travelers seeking unique cultural experiences. Explore the many Riyadh tours that include this stunning site, where you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of Saudi Arabia’s landscapes and traditions.
