Edge of the World, Riyadh Overview

Edge of the World is a natural geological site in the rocky desert located northwest of Riyadh. It has straight cliffs that rise from the desert and look like a natural wall. The site gets its name from the spectacular view of the horizon witnessed from the edge of the 300-metre-high cliffs. You can also enjoy a hike through the rugged trails to reach the top. Overnight camping is popular at Acacia Valley due to the mesmerising morning views.

The Elephant Rock and Jabal Abyad are popular spots at the site. Originally known as Jebel Fihrayn, the site is a part of the much longer Tuwaiq Escarpment. One can spot dried rivers weaving across the land as the cliffs drop 1000 feet into an ancient ocean bed. There is an ancient caravan route through these grounds, and camels can be seen moving along the route. Age-old fossils can also be found across the hiking path. It is about a 2 hours drive from Riyadh.
