Tour Highlights
- Riyadh's Edge of The World is the only place in the world that gives you an exceptional feeling, as if you are a tiny point inside an infinite universe. It feels as if you have truly reached the edge of the end of the world by reaching the edge of the universe, and you feel that nothing goes beyond that point. This is how Saudi blogger Abdulaziz Al-Damkh described it. In his interview with "CNN" he pointed out that the beauty of the view cannot be captured in pictures. From the top of the cliff you can see the most amazing landscapes, and you can see how the tents and camels down in the mountains look tiny, like black dots in the far distance.
