96 km northwest of Riyadh en route Sadous lies the magnificent sight of the Edge of the world. Here the cliffs drop away giving splendid views over the plain below. Edge of the World, a rock-framed 'window' in the escarpment, is one such point. The drop is so dramatic and sudden here.

The Window

Cliff Pockets

Small pockets along the cliffs have space for one to stand, though precarious. One careless step can be deadly.

 

The Difference

What makes Edge of the World different from other escarpment views is the unending view of the horizon in front.
