What travelers are saying
- MarceloJSBo17 contributionsTickets are sold only after 4pm. Credit cards accepted. It costs something around 15 USD. It is really interesting. Two lifts take you to the 99th floor. The view is very interesting and the experience to walk on the bridge is different. Actually, it does not look like you are walking on a bridge. I was expecting something more frightening! I recommend.Written January 16, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Road549617772371 contributionWe were a group of 3 from Hong Kong and we followed our guide Hashem Alshareef (Whatsapp number: +966 54 846 1616; ig: riyadhtourguide1) to Edge of the World. Hashem was super nice and responsive. We contacted him last minute for the tour and he was super responsive and settled the arrangement with us very swiftly. He was super familiar with the Edge of the World area and brought us to a number of nice spots for good photos. He provided a lot of information about the area, the history and the geography. He also kindly helped us take a huge number of photos and even guided each of us to pose! At the end of the tour he prepared tea/coffee and snacks for us, nicely wrapping up the tour. He picked us up and sent us back to our designated spot in the city centre of Riyadh. Car was super comfy.
Overall we could feel that he was really passionate about showing the places to tourists and we recommend his tour to others.Written January 23, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum has several galleries that tell the story of the region’s history, including the impact of religion on its development, but it’s not limited to that. There’s a lot of history to explore, from ancient artifacts to unique exhibits like a meteorite, which was pretty cool to see up close.
There was also an ongoing Dior event display, which we were hoping to check out, but unfortunately, it was closed for a private event that day. It was a bit disappointing, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
One of the best parts was that entry to the museum was completely free, making it a great way to spend a few hours learning about the rich history of the region. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Riyadh!Written December 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lots of renovations going on currently so areas are sectioned off with hoarding which spoiled the experience somewhat.
This is how I’d always imagined Saudi Arabia and was not disappointed.
We ate at Cafe Bateel, which is within the site, with truly amazing views over the gardens. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced.
Definitely one not to miss on a trip to Riyadh.Written November 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
