🎯 Attractions

Attraction
Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn)
A 90-minute drive from Riyadh into the Tuwaiq Escarpment — a sheer cliff dropping 300m into an ancient seabed. One of Saudi Arabia's most dramatic natural landscapes.

🌟 Hodophs insider tipHire a local 4WD guide — the track is unmarked and navigating it alone is genuinely challenging. Sunrise is the best time; the mist in the valley below makes the landscape appear infinite. Bring food, water, and warm layers — it's cold at the edge even in winter.
