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.

Witness the echoes of the past as we explore the very walls that witnessed the dawn of a new era.
