Overview
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Riyadh with our captivating half-day sightseeing tour. Lasting just 5 hours, it's the perfect way to explore the heart of old Riyadh.
We kick off our adventure in downtown Riyadh, delving into the bustling atmosphere of the traditional Dirah Souq. Lose yourself in a treasure trove of antique carpets and Saudi heritage gems. Feel the pulse of the market as we stroll through, with the air filled with the exotic scents of sandalwood and other oriental fragrances. Don't miss the excitement of the Friday auctions, a spectacle of men's clothing and lively bidding.
Next, we journey to the iconic Masmak Fort, a stone's throw away from the Old Souq. This historic fortress holds the key to Saudi Arabia's modern history, dating back to the creation of the 3rd Saudi Kingdom. Built in 1895, it once stood as a formidable military stronghold during the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid. Witness the echoes of the past as we explore the very walls that witnessed the dawn of a new era.
Join us on this unforgettable journey through time and heritage, where every step tells a story of resilience, conquest, and the birth of a nation. Book now and let Riyadh's past come alive before your eyes!
