A spectacular site to visit in Saudi. Our guides met us at the meeting point as specified and on time, they were wearing jackets with the company logo so were easy to identify. We made a pit stop on the way to break up the journey and also stopped to pet some camels. We were given an hour and a half to explore the edge of the world and take photos before driving back down to enjoy a traditional Saudi meal. It was thunder and lightning when we went but this did not spoil the experience. All guides were friendly and the company operator spoke excellent English and responded quickly to any messages. Would highly recommend this tour company.
We arrived at the pick-up point in plenty of time and met the tour guide who ticked us off his list and told us that the tour was leaving at 2.30. We went to the toilets and visited the nearby pharmacy, returning to the pick-up point at 2.20 to find that the tour had already left! We struggled to contact the company because there was no wi-fi and eventually made contact about an hour later but was told that the tour could not return and pick us up. The tour guide lied and first said that we didn't turn up but we could describe him. He then said that we turned up late - but we had already met him so that obviously was not true either. We desperately wanted to do the tour so the company offered us the same tour next morning which we accepted, even though it ruined our plans for the next day. we did the tour but the original booking included dinner and the new guide called the office to be told that dinner was not included. Faisal at Riyadh Hiking was full of excuses and not apologetic or nice to deal with. The tour we booked seems to have been deleted but a pretty much identical tour was offered WITH DINNER at £92.36 where we paid £160 and didn't get the included meal. I think that we were ripped off!!
Had an amazing journey to the Edge of the World with Faisal and his team! Comfortable transport in 4WDs, magnificent landscape at sunset, and finished the trip off with snacks and dinner under the stars. Faisal and his team were so kind, humble and accommodating. Highly recommend this company.
exciting landscape with outside pick nicks . sunset is beautiful. hike on top of the cliff is a challenge but not so difficult.
My experience with this tour company was disappointing. Despite being asked to arrive by 1:30 pm for a 2 pm start, the company did not show up until just before 2 pm. Upon arrival, there were no tour guides or operators present. Instead, they assigned us to different cars without any explanation of the tour schedule. Throughout the tour, there was a lack of guidance or information provided by the drivers. It felt more like aimless riding than a structured tour. Additionally, the quality of the food provided was subpar. Even other tourists, including Saudi Arabian visitors, expressed dissatisfaction with the food quality. It's disappointing that such poor-quality meals were provided to tourists. Overall, I would not recommend this tour company.
