Amazing trip idea! - This is definitely a must if you’re ever in Riyadh. The staff are amazing and they go above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great time. Our guide ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable during the entire trip. He even bought us water and ice cream before our trip commenced. Then he took us to see camels and gazelles. The overall tour was spectacular and ended with dinner during a sunset which he prepared and served for us.

Great day with - Really great experience! Khaled was very friendly and funny, he made us feel welcome straight away. You go to the desert and you can pay extra to quad bike or camel ride (not included) and then you have a sledge ride on the sand, stargaze and then you are taken to a traditional Saudi restaurant for dinner in Riyadh. Overall a great day, would definitely recommend!

Red Sand trip - Great experience to see desert, we also catch a stunning sunset, picnic was well prepared in the red sand with our amazing guide Khaled! Dinner was also in very nice and genuine place (restaurant).
The greatest part of the trip is silence, sand around you and possibility to touch a little bit of culture. Guide Khaled answers in any our questions and was very caring! Hope to meet him again!

Amazing the Red sand dunes!!! - It’s simply wonderful, the driver picked me, very nice and gentleman, when we arrived in the desert took a ride with a camel and then I ride a moto4 at the dunes. It was amazing.Then a nice dinner with kabsa at a tradicional Saudi restaurant.
I’ll repeat when I come back with my family.
Thank you Amed and Riyadh Trips.

Beautiful experience - Beautiful tour, with a stop at the camel farm. Then the red desert with a reckless rally as much as fun, the surf on the sand pulled by the off-road, and finally the unmissable ride on the quad bike.

An Arabian Night - Absolutely beautiful. My guide: Abdo was fantastic from start to finish. Abdo didn’t speak English nor understood much of it but was able to use a Google translator to interpret and communicate with me. The tour organiser later decided to include Quad biking for an extra charge of 100 SAR. I didn’t have cash with me then do to the late information provided just as I was waiting on my guide to pick me up. And so I had to pay for this through contactless. So please do bring extra cash just in case :)

Unexpected fun! - Obaid did his very best to ensure we had a great time! Felt like a private tour through the desert. Definitely a silly time, delicious dinner under the stars with great friends. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!
