Saudi Arabia Desert - Edge of the World Day Trip from Riyadh 🇸🇦 المملكة العربية السعودي سياحة

- In this second episode of my journey through Saudi Arabia I travel to the Edge of the World, located in the rocky deserts, an adventurous day trip from Riyadh. This is arguably one of the most spectacular natural landscapes in Saudi Arabia, and part of the much larger Tuwaiq Escarpment. It earned its nickname because of the clear uninterrupted views of the horizon.
I traveled here with a tourist guide (Mr. Ismael) who explained me more about this fascinating place. There are no clear pathways and signs, so if you travel to this region please be very careful. After hiking around the Edge of the World, we also visited a cave hidden in the ground, and eventually a camel market on the way back to Riyadh.
This is the second episode of a 6 part vlog style series about my journey through Saudi Arabia. For other episodes, please click here:

Saudi Arabia has long been off limits to foreign tourists and travelers. Since a few months, however, it’s possible to visit the country on a tourist visa. I made use of this opportunity and traveled to Saudi Arabia for 2 weeks, including Riyadh, the Edge of the World, Jeddah, Medina, Al Ula, Umluj, and the Red Sea coast.
Saudi Arabia is mostly known in the ‘Western world’ for its petroleum export, the birthplace of Islam, and unfortunately also poor human rights record. But as I discover there is much more to this massive country than first meets the eye. In these series I hope to give a glimpse into what was once an almost ‘forbidden place’ in the Middle East for independent travelers, and is now open for visitors from around the world.

Note: I travel independently and take no money from sponsors. This journey through Saudi Arabia was paid for and organized entirely by myself.

The sound of camels kinda reminds you of Jurrasic Park, esp the baby camels. Don't they? 😂
Now that you mention it, kind of yes :D
camels look as if they're totally innocent & oblivious to everything lol
🇸🇦🙏👍🏼
Great serie!!! I m going to visit SA pretty soon and your videos are like gold to me!!! Can you remember the name of the village of the camel market? Suk of Jamal?
Just saw Edge of the World two days ago. Your drone footage showed me just how dangerous it is to be too close to the edge. Straight drop down! I was being very safe and careful for this reason but some others were getting too close to the edge for my liking 😬 Anyway, great video. And to others, I highly recommend you visit Saudi and see this wondrous attraction :) Very nice people, too!
Yes, I agree, very nice! And glad that you stayed well clear from the edge. It's very steep indeed.
@@stefhoffer Yes. Same to you! :)

Hello sir please reply which camera is used for shooting in this vlog
Hi, a Sony NX80, GoPro 7, and DJI Mavic.
What is the Processor of faly drone in saudia arabia
🙏
You missed visiting al wahba crater in Riyadh as well. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Wahbah_crater
Thanks, I believe it's South from Medina, quite a distance from Riyadh. Stunning place it seems though.
how have some contacts to discover this beautiful country?
top video !
hadba511 let me know if u need some information
alakbry it’s Easy to organise him self a trip with Ryad, djeddah and Omra without tourism agency?
I hired the drive through a tour agency.
What is your impression of Saudi Arabia and the Saudis?
Most people I met were friendly and welcoming. The country seems developed in many ways. Every society has its own challenges of course.
