Do not choose this tour! We have paid 141 euros and it is just gone for nothing. We had an unexpected situation and could not arrive to the meeting point on time and called them via the number which they have provided on the reservation ticket. It was not working. THEY EVEN DID NOT ACCEPT TO WAIT US FOR 15-20 MINS. However, we kindly asked for the refund for the trip that we could not go. They just took the money and did not accept the refund. This kind of situation can happen to anyone. I am writing this comment for others who would like to get this tour. DO NOT!It was one of the best trips I‘ve ever made. The tour started a few minutes before 3.30pm due to the fact that everbody was already at the meeting point.

It was one of the best trips I‘ve ever made. The tour started a few minutes before 3.30pm due to the fact that everbody was already at the meeting point. We drove straight ahead to the edge of the world and had more than enough time for taking pictures, enjoying the breathtaking views from various perspectives and watching the sunset. After the sunset we had a typical arabic dinner in the middle of the desert including dates and arabic coffee. The day ended with some star gazing. ✨I felt fooled by the way the agency handled our reservation. Because we booked few hours before the trip started and it was low season (and not enough people to fill the tour), we were offered a private driver to take us to the Edge with an extra cost of 300SAR (in addition to the 75USD per perso...
I felt fooled by the way the agency handled our reservation. Because we booked few hours before the trip started and it was low season (and not enough people to fill the tour), we were offered a private driver to take us to the Edge with an extra cost of 300SAR (in addition to the 75USD per person that we had already paid). We went down to 200SAR, as it wasn’t our fault that there wasn’t enough people to join the trip (despite the fact that we were still able to book the trip on Viator, pay and get the confirmation that the trip was booked and we were ready to go). The agency tried to change the pick-up point to the other side of the city, which would have costed us additionally 100SAR. After talking to the agency, they agreed on sending the driver to our hotel, but surprise! The driver requested 300SAR (not 200SAR as previously agreed). He mentioned that that was his fare for picking up us from the hotel. This was NOT okay. We weren’t offered any snacks as it was stated on the website. We just got a couple of small bottles of water. Moreover, the driver hardly spoke any English and he ended up using Google Translate. But what got me really irritated is that the driver tried to persuade us to drop us off at Diriyah, which is freaking far from our hotel!!! And suggested that we could grab a taxi back to the hotel from there… If I had known about this, we should have picked any other tour with dinner included… Totally not worthy. But with that said, the Edge of the World was AMAZING!Booked this as it was the cheapest available option on Tripadvisor. We went on a Tue at 14.30.

Booked this as it was the cheapest available option on Tripadvisor. We went on a Tue at 14.30. The driver arrived to the designated parking lot at 14.40. We didn’t leave until 15.10, even though everyone seemed to be there already. We drove to the Al Manjour trail as the Edge of the World is currently closed for building a new tourist path there (this is not shown anywhere in the Tripadvisor description btw so bit of false advertising there). Driver plus 3 people in the car, which was on the old side but still comfortable. Once at the trail, the driver sent us ahead on the walk which we did there and back in less than an hour. By the time we got back, the driver set up a seating area by the car, with tea, coffee, dates, biscuits, crisps. Lounged there for another 90min before dinner was ready. Another two cars joined us for dinner. Rice, pasta with small pieces of chicken, leafy salad. Delicious although carb heavy. Did 10min of stargazing after dinner, then headed back to Riyadh. Arrived back at around 21.30. Overall good experience. Nice views, relaxing day. Wish the driver walked with us and gave an actual tour, but it was still good. If it wasn’t the cheapest trip then I might be more annoyed.Unforgettable experience that really worth the tour ! The staff was so kind. A camp dinner in the desert was offered at the end of the trip !
