Well Organised Sunset Tour - Amazing sunset climb of the mountain. You need reasonable fitness and not afraid of heights. Rock climbing gloves are not necessary but would help. Finished with traditional tea.

Great hike, 10/10 recommend! - I had a fantastic experience! Abdullah was kind and I felt very safe the whole time! A bit of a climb, but so worth it. I did this as a layover tour while in Jeddah and it was a smooth transfer experience. As a solo female traveler, sometimes finding a good tour is tricky, but this was an incredible experience. I cannot recommend more!

Beautiful Moon Valley half day trip from Jeddah. - Perfect half day trip from Jeddah. Go in the morning as the heat is unbearable. Hiking to the top was great experience, fairly easy but bring good hiking shoes.

Great tour to see the stunning desert - We really enjoyed the tour to the moon-valley. Our Guide Amir was really nice and took always care of us.
As we arrived at the bottom of the mountain the view was already great but at the top of the it was just amazing. We could view very far and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. The hike was really exciting. We went trough narrow spaces and „climbed“ some rocks to reach the top.
All in all it was way better than we expected and I would totally recommend to do this tour and enjoy the stunning desert.

Exploring Jeddah's Lunar Landscape: An Unforgettable Desert Adventure - This morning’s adventure through the lunar landscape outside Jeddah was an unforgettable experience. The scenery was absolutely stunning – like something from another planet. Our guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

One of the best experiences you MUST do when in Jeddah - This was just incredible. My guide was fantastic and I felt super looked after (especially as a solo female traveller).
The climb was great and the views spectacular - highly recommend them.

Lovely morning tour to the moon valley - We had a lovely morning tour to the moon valley. Our local tour guide Abdullah was very friendly, enthusiastic and authentic. He picked us up at 6.30 am, we had a beautiful sunrise on the 1.5 hour drive to the Moon Valley. The area is very scenic and in the morning we were the only people there. From all the plastic lying around at the parking area, it'll probably get quite busy in the afternoon/on the weekend.
The hike itself was quite short, less than 1km/half hour uphill, the views from the top were excellent. We were back in Jeddah at 12.00.

Great 1st hiking adventure in jeddah - Me and my friends was our 1st time to do hiking in jeddah. We really enjoyed the experience and we were lucky to select Abha Tours to be our organizer.
The tour organiser was Dr.Osama who was very cooperative, helpful and quickly responding to any inquiries.
Our tour guide was Mr.Amer who was very helpful, professional, cooperative, freindly and generous.
I would recommend Abha tours to any any one seeking doing any kind of tours around saudia and i am looling forward to deal with them with any future tours.

A lot more to be explored - The views are good, the location is out of nowhere with great wilderness. The hike itself is a bit too short. With a long drive, it would be even more worthwhile to explore more treks or fun rock formations in the region. The Moon Valley has a lot more to be explored.
