Vast desert and tropical islands

Nature in Saudi Arabia is beautiful. At a ninety-minute drive from Riyadh you’ll find Jebel Fihrayn, dubbed ‘The Edge of the World’. Climb the rock plateau for an unparalleled 360-degree panoramic view over the desert. If you prefer the beach, set off for Umluj for pearly-white sand beaches by a turquoise sea. Sail to one of the dozens of islands and dive to see colourful coral and extraordinary fish. These islands are called the Saudi Maldives for good reason!
