We proceed into old Riyadh, starting in the downtown area, visiting the traditional Dirah Souq, famous for buying antique carpets and other useful Saudi heritage antiques. The walk is infused with the aromas of sandalwood fragrance and other scents of the orient. The Souq is known for men’s clothing, and it is entertaining to watch the auction which takes place every Friday. After this, we visit the Masmak Fort, which is just walking distance from the Old Souq and whose importance is linked to the creation of the 3rd Saudi Kingdom, the modern one we live in. The fortified palace was built during the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid in the year 1895 A.D. to serve as a military garrison for the army of Abdullah bin Rashid. His Majesty King Abdulaziz, the father of today’s nation, captured the fort in 1902, marking the beginning of the reconquest of Arabia by the House of Saudi.
DAY 2- Authentic Arabian lunch
Full Day Ushayger Tour with Lunch (Operational on Sun, Tues, and Fri) | SIC
We reach the traditional village of Ushaiqer after a two-hour drive. One of the most vibrant examples of Najdi architecture, Ushaiqer is typical of the central plateau of Saudi Arabia. Ushaiqer is one of the oldest towns, existing for “over a millennium” and it was a major stopping point for pilgrims coming from territories that are now Kuwait and Iraq to perform Hajj or Umrah in Makkah. We get the opportunity to roam its narrow alleyways that run between elegant traditional houses, palaces, and old mosques. We also visit a private collection of old antiques at a museum in one of the most beautiful old houses in the village. We conclude our visit from an impressive viewpoint overlooking the area. After that we will have an authentic Arabian lunch at a traditional restaurant before returning to Riyadh.

While visiting Al-Balad, visitors will be taken to see Beit Nassif, one of the prominent renovated structures in the old city, which dates back to the mid-1800s.

DAY 8-Jebal Sawdah
Jebal Sawdah and Rijal AL Maa | PRIVATE
Today we visit two of the most iconic places in the highlands of Saudi Arabia, Jebel Sawdah and Rijal Al-Ma’. We start with a short drive into the Moshebah hills, which are covered with Mediterranean-like vegetation, and at the nearby Sehab Park, we will enjoy astonishing views from the 2,000-meter-high cliffs of the Sarawat Mountains. Our next stop is Jebel Sawdah, one of the highest points in Saudi Arabia, peaking at nearly 3,000 meters. Although “Jebel” means mountain, Sawdah is rather a hill that stands on the edge of the vertiginous cliffs of the Sarawat range where we will enjoy another dramatic perspective. After our lunch, we drive down the valley to the traditional village of Rijal Al-Ma’, which is the most impressive testimony of Aseeri traditional architecture with its dozens of impressively tall stone-made buildings. At the end of the day, we head back to Abha.
