Diriyah Day Trip

On this day trip to Diriyadh, we'll visit the first Saudi state and explore the traditional Najdi architecture in this World Heritage city.

Description

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Riyadh at the indicated time and drive northwest, arriving in Diriyah after a 30-minute drive. This location is known as the birthplace of the first Saudi state.

Upon arrival, you will have free time to explore this historic site. Muhammad bin Saud was the Amir who founded the state of Diriyah and initiated the Saud dynasty, which continues to rule today. The city served as the capital of the Nejed region from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

During the visit, we will learn about the history of this city, a significant point on trade routes connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Discover why UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site in 2010 and appreciate its characteristic Najdi architecture.

Additionally, we will observe the Saudi government's plans to develop Diriyah into one of the largest metropolises in the Middle East through various urban projects.

After the guided tour, we will return to Riyadh and drop you off at your hotel, with an estimated arrival 4 hours after pickup.
