Abdulaziz is the best tour guide we’ve ever met. He is welcoming, warm-hearted and enthusiastic about his tour job. He is very fluent in English and of course Arabic, sharing all the cultures and news about Saudi Arabia with us, which surely enriches the fun and knowledge of this tour. You can choose your pickup point in Riyadh, it takes about 2 and 40mins to get to the Ushaiqer. In the middle of the way, we stayed shortly at a sandy dune to feel the vibe. And then heading to Ushaiqer to see the ancient city heritage. Abdulaziz is like a walking encyclopedia of Saudi Arabia. Not only lead the way to the history of heritage, but also everything you can see and experience along the trip. In Ushaiqer, we enjoyed a lovely afternoon Arabic coffee during the tour for intermission. And the dinner was classic Arabic dishes. We even get to experience the unique beverage that Arab people have during Ramadan. Let me put it this way, this tour with Abdulaziz provides way more fun than the site information can show. Maybe other tour guides can provide the same itinerary, but the information and introductions from Abdulaziz increased the depth of the tour and made the trip valuable and unique. I will definitely recommend this tour to whom is considering joining a tour in Riyadh.
