We really enjoyed the tour to Yellow Lake. Mahdi was a great guide and had lots of interesting information to share with us. His driving was excellent. It was fun driving around in the beautiful sand dunes and the time by the lake was very relaxing. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing trip to the Yellow Lake with Mahdi. The sand-dune driving was thrilling and full of adventure, while the sunset beside the Yellow Lake was absolutely stunning, the whole atmosphere felt calm and relaxing. Mahdi was warm, welcoming, and highly professional. He shared lots of interesting information about Al-Ahsa during the journey and recommended a great restaurant. He was kind, attentive, and very careful behind the wheel, keeping the drive both safe and exciting. He’s also a great photographer who captured some beautiful moments for us. It’s truly a must-do experience, don’t miss it!
A breathtaking and memorable trip

It was only four hours long, but we saw what we wanted to see and went where we wanted to go. From Hofuf station, you can reach Yellow Lake in about an hour by car. The quiet time in the dunes and the lake was very pleasant. The sand is also smooth. We walked around barefoot, drank Arabic coffee and had a very good time. We had to leave Yellow Lake after 4pm for the train home, and we were disappointed not to see the sunset. I want to see the sunset next time.
A day to remember
