Overnight in RIYADH
Start your day with a delicious breakfast at the hotel before heading out to explore old Riyadh. Begin your tour in the downtown area with a visit to the traditional Dirah Souq, renowned for its antique carpets and Saudi heritage antiques. The souq is infused with the aromas of sandalwood and other Oriental scents, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Enjoy the unique experience of watching the auction of men’s clothing, a lively event that takes place every Friday. After soaking in the traditional market ambiance, proceed to the iconic Riyadh Sky Bridge. Here, you can marvel at panoramic views of the city, capturing stunning photos and enjoying the breathtaking scenery from the top.
After this, we visit the Masmak Fort (Subject to reopening) which is just walking distance from the Old Souq and whose importance is linked to the creation of the 3rd Saudi Kingdom, the modern one we live in. The fortified palace was built during the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid in the year 1895 A.D. to serve as a military garrison for the army of Abdullah bin Rashid. His Majesty King Abdulaziz, the father of today’s nation, captured the fort in 1902, marking the beginning of the reconquest of Arabia by the House of Saudi.
Later, head to Ad Diriyah, the historical district that was the original home of the Saudi royal family and the first capital of the Saudi state. Explore the beautifully restored mud-brick buildings and learn about the rich history and culture of the area. Walk through the winding alleyways and visit the museums that showcase Saudi Arabia's heritage. After this enriching experience, return to your hotel to relax and reflect on your memorable day in Riyadh.
Breakfast at your hotel. We depart to the traditional village of Ushaiqer after a two-hour drive. One of the most vibrant examples of Najdi architecture, Ushaiqer is typical of the central plateau of Saudi Arabia. Ushaiqer is one of the oldest towns, existing for “over a millennium” and it was a major stopping point for pilgrims coming from territories that are now Kuwait and Iraq to perform Hajj or Umrah in Makkah. We get the opportunity to roam its narrow alleyways that run between elegant traditional houses, palaces, and old mosques. We also visit a private collection of old antiques at a museum in one of the most beautiful old houses in the village. We conclude our visit from an impressive viewpoint overlooking the area. After that we will have an authentic lunch before returning to Riyadh. Dinner at leisure. Overnight in RIYADH.
Breakfast at your hotel. We drive for 30 minutes to Ad-Diriyah, located on the western bank of the Wadi Hanifah, a dry riverbed where water flows only after big rains. Ad-Diriyah used to be the capital of the Najd (the central plateau of the Arabian Peninsula) from the 15th century until the beginning of the 18th century. It is the birthplace of the first Saudi Kingdom and its importance in the history of the Arabian Peninsula was highlighted when it was listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site, in 2010, as the most brilliant example of Najdi architecture. The history of Ad-Diriyah goes back thousands of years as it was on an ancient trade and pilgrimage route, acting as a meeting point for those travelling to or from Asia, Africa and Europe. Our visit to the site allows us to admire its incredible architecture before returning to downtown Riyadh. As we drive towards the city, we have the opportunity to admire the rapid development of this cosmopolitan capital, planned by the Saudi government to become the biggest metropole in the Middle East in the next 10 years. Retutn to hotel. Dinner at leisure. Overnight in RIYADH.
