What To Expect
Al Masmak Fortress
Masmak Fort is in the AlDirah neighborhood of Riyadh, a symbol of the unification of Saudi Arabia. It was the site of a historic battle that turned the tide of the struggle for control in favor of the House of Saud and paved the way for modern-day Saudi Arabia. It is made from clay and mudbrick fort.
Souk Al Zal
One of Riyadh’s oldest traditional markets that carries 100 years of history within its alleyways. As soon as you start your tour in Souk AlZal and hear the sellers’ voices in the auctions, you will feel that you have traveled to the past of the city. The souk is known for its antiques, rare coins, and old utensils. You may also find musical instruments, old record players, and hundreds of interesting items that seem as if they came from a museum of ancient folk traditions.

SCAMMED US - AVOID

1.00I feel completely scammed by this company. The convinced us to pay directly through paypal then completely scammed us on the tour. Then lied to paypal to try to keep the money. CRAZY. They skipped the last main stop of our tour, the whole reason this tour was a premium price compared to other similar ones. Just dropped up back off and cut the tour short, no explanation or anything. When I reached out they said it was because the road was closed... after talking to hotel staff and others that went that day we learned this was not true. Part of the tour was also a stop at a market and we were there during the only 20-30 min that it is closed for prayer during the day. This could have been planned was better as it is predictable and we technically missed this too. All fees were supposed to be included yet the guide made us pay for her parking. The guide also let someone who did not pay joint he tour, not what you want when you are paying hundreds. Lastly the operator completely lied to paypal saying that we were picked up from the airport when we weren't and that was a "free premium" and there way of getting out of refunding. They offered a small credit but it did not even cover what we missed let a alone all of the other issues. Basically we did not get the tour that we were promised at all. Plus the guide took photos of us without permission and is spreading them... AVOID.

5.00This was a great experience and the guide Rakan was extremely knowledgeable and very nice! We hit most of the main sites in the city. And we even did the Al Rajhi Mosque which was not on the itinerary. We got an early start so we skipped At Turaif which opens at 5pm. I had gone the previous day separately otherwise I would be disappointed as it’s a lovely site (not to be missed)

5.00We felt like guests, not just tourists. Dr. Thamer planned our Riyadh tour around us, shared his passion for the city, and even took us to a traditional restaurant, guiding us through the meal. If you ever get the chance to tour Riyadh, ask for him — you won’t regret it. A genuine, personal experience we’ll never forget.
Excellent tour, Best tour guide

5.00This Full day Riyadh City tour was excellent. I had to book this tour in a rush because the original tour I had planned in Riyadh canceled last minute. Thankfully this tour was available and it worked out perfect. I owe it mostly to our tour guide Rakan. He is a young man who knew his stuff about Riyadh and took care of me and my family with the utmost kindness and expertise. The most outstanding part of the trip was he invited us into his family home for lunch (that his mother prepared for us). One couldn't have asked for a more local Saudi Arabian treat. To say the least that along with other excellent places Rakan treated us too was spectacular. I thank the tour comany Abhatrips for coming to our rescue and providing this tour... but I truly thank Rakan for being a wonderful guide. I highly recommend this tour and tour company
