In Riyadh at your hotel you’ll be met by your driver/tour leader who will be transporting you to Historical Diriyah, an important destination that introduces you to the region’s rich past – it’s the birthplace of the first Saudi state, home to a number of ancient sites that you’ll be passing by including the World Heritage listed ruins of Al Turaif (the mud houses can currently only be visited from the outside due to renovation works).
Then you’ll be visiting the Al Mamlaka Tower, the city’s tallest building with an additional attraction, the Sky Bridge at Al Mamlaka which you can purchase a ticket for and enjoy panoramic vistas of the city. You’ll also visit the largest mosque in Riyadh, the Al Rajhi Grand Mosque plus the King Fahad National Library of Saudi Arabia before you’re transported back to your hotel.
