Beautiful view of The sunset seating on the edge, then we will head to our campsite for cafe and tea and maybe dinner if we have time
We will enjoy strolling on the camel crossing previously, as it was used as a road for trade, and it is one of the most important roads in the past in the Riyadh region. The camel crossing is located on the Tuwaiq mountain range, and it is considered the best view

Nice trip with truly hiking

5.00The trip with Riyadh Trips to The Second Edge was a really nice experience. Finally, there was a chance to walk a little more through the countryside. We were in a small group. The guide was nice, funny and took good care of us. Everything went according to plan in terms of organization. I returned home tired and satisfied. Thanks for a wonderful day.

1.00Closed area due to accident. The travel agency indicated at the last minute that it would change the route. That's why we canceled and traveled in the desert with a rented car.

Second Edge, As Good as Edge of the World with a Different Twist.

5.00The Second Edge was as good as the Edge of the World. I ended up with a private tour guide, Abdullah who was great. This experience while similar to Edge of the World, offers a different perspective with more hiking than Edge of the World. Thanks to Abdullah for a great experience!
Fantastic tour to the Second Edge of the World, perfect KSA experience!

5.00Fantastic trip to the Second Edge of the World. Exceeded expectations by far. Fast communication, nothing lost in translation and a destination worth every while. Water, snacks and desert lunch provided. Great driver who knew what he was doing, turned into a personal chef after sundown and served a simple but delicious dinner right on the edge. Plenty of time to roam about the Al Manjour Trail. I usually don't like to book tours and venture out on myself, but this tour turned out to be great and would have required lots of preparation, which I did not have the time to do. KSA offers a lot and this was definitely an experience one will not forget. Will definitely do it again.

Desert does not only mean sand desert it can be a mountain desert - this is an example

5.00The silence on the second edge mountains was amazing . With only two of us in 40 degrees temp and the haze due to the dust storm - it was a very different experience.
