EOTW pros and cons. Overall opinion - worth it! - I have been looking forward to doing this trip for some years and was really pleased to have finally crossed it off of the list. Negatives: Riyadh traffic is atrocious. Make sure you stay on the correct side of the city - it took over an hour to get out of town. This also impacted the amount of time available at the EOTW before the Police closed the site. The police at EOTW are not the friendliest (DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF THEM OR THEIR VEHICLES - they WILL take your phone and delete your pictures. Btw - that goes for ANY uniformed official in KSA). Positives: we had a great driver who made off-roading look and feel easy. We saw some absolutely stunning views - think Grand Canyon but prettier. The meal at the end was simple but filling. The trip has created some lifetime memories and the cliched “sitting on the EOTW” pic just had to be done. Make sure you pack comfortable reliable footwear and appropriate clothing - temperature drops when the sun goes down - and be prepared for a fabulous experience. Thanks to Abu and the My Saudi Tours Team 🙏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💪🏾

Edge of the World, Riyadh - The place is amazing and so was the Captain, he new the roads in and out. He even showed us a mystery cave with Bats. On the way we did stop for Camel feeding. The desert drive is great, had not imagined hard rock in Desert.

Top Place so so Tour - No doubt the place is amazing, the view magnificent and since we went in the afternoon the sundown is a must. As for the tour and its organizers the personnel there were competent but we didn't get many of the things included, like: a visit to the Heritage Village, Telescope or music. Plus no guidance while at the place we just walked around each one by ourselves.

Very bad experience that I had never before. Never again - I booked the tour start at 2pm, expecting to see the driver at hotel lobby. But nobody appeared. I tried to contact the number provided, but nobody picked up the phone. Staff at the hotel helped me to contact them, but no answer. After 30 min. later, I received a message via WhatsApp. The message was, "Our driver is stuck in traffic and he will reach your hotel late going back also traffic you will miss the sunset we suggest going tomorrow" "Big accident in the road" I can't believe that. If it was true, at least they should have contacted me in advance. Nobody appeared at the time of appointment, answered me 30 min. later and suggest tomorrow? ! How is it possible for the tourist from foreign country? The only choice I could do was to wait the driver. Driver arrived 1hour 45min later, it means 3:45pm. Driver told me that he received the offer at 3pm. Since he drove so fast, I could arrive before sunset. But I had a car sick since no rest and he drove very fast. But I could see the sunset by the driver's effort. However, I couldn't do anything included in tour, such as onfire Wood, Music, Live Hot Cooking Dinner or Traditional Arabic Food at Traditional Restaurant. Because I a bad car sick and got late. Never had such a bad experience. At least I could see the sunset there that was the hightlight of my travel to Saudi Arabia. I felt very stress though the view of Edge of the World was great. Never again.

Terrible experience - The tour guide did not speak much English and did provide the tour as advertised. When I questioned the driver about not completing the tour, he advised through a chat message from someone else that the edge of world visit was all I got despite the advertisement including inclusions of a visit to a local village, lunch and more. I was never compensated for this issue by the operator nor Viator. Do not recommend this tour as they are not honest and do not provide the tour as advertised

Not what they promised - The best part of this trip was being at “The Edge of the World” and our driver. Unfortunately the rest of the trip was not good and was definitely not worth the money, find another operator to do the tour with. The only item from our program that was correct was the “Edge of The World”, no village tour, no authentic Arabian dinner Mac and Cheese does not represent authentic Arabian food, no telescope, the 4x4 car was so old that in the desert it could only go really slow. I, and our hotel, tried to contact the operator to discuss these matters but no one would return our calls our emails. I do not like to write negative reviews, it was important for me to point out this companies short companies to ensure another person does not get taken advantage of.
