Best Day Trips Outside Riyadh
- Northwest from Riyadh are the small towns of Sadus Al Qasab and Shaqra, where you can find a number of fascinating ruins; these are the result of modern housing materials being introduced to the country, whereupon citizens abruptly abandoned their homes to build new ones out of concrete.
- Though half of the drive up requires off-roading in the desert, the Edge of the World is definitely worth the journey. The massive cliff juts out from the surrounding landscape and provides uninterrupted views of the desert all the way to the horizon, making visitors feel like they’re truly at the precipice of the Earth.
