Detailed itinerary
1
Either Sadus Batcave & Camels route OR Huraymila Gazelles Sanctuary route
You get to decide which of the 2 main routes to the Edge of the World you'd like to go from and both are spectacular with off road driving and interesting stops to either the Deer sanctuary or Hidden Bat cave. The round trip has to be from the same route because there is no car crossing point at the edge due to elevation difference.
2
The moment you were waiting for will be here.. A breathtaking experience when looking across the tall cliffs! You'll take a guided hike to a few mount peaks along the Edge and will be able to take spectacular photos and live the serene moment. This will take around 1 to 1.5 hours and then you'll enjoy a nice Saudi picnic with snacks and traditional Saudi coffee and dates.
