escarpments

Endless Cliffs

As far as your eyes can reach, view of the edges are endless with totally different views at each point. If prepared for a backpack, the trip can be adventurous.

Walking through the edges

It is an exciting experience to walk along the cliffs. Care should be taken not to slip off as there are no sign boards of warning or iron fencing. It is not so difficult to walk up to the heads of these twin rocks

Location : Edge of the World Route:

At Kingdom Tower, Olaya, Riyadh, set your odometer at Zero. Take the Uruba Road (west) and watch for the signboard 'King Khalid Eye Hospital' (KKEH). At 3.7 km you will get an exit to Madinah/Qassim at the KKEH. Follow this road which after 10 km leads to Salbouk. At 34.5 km you will get an exit to Sadous/Jubayla. Take this exit and head to Sadous. You will pass by Jubayla, Uyainah and Hegra. At 66.5 km (which is 24.5 km from Jubayla) turn left to an off-road. After entering this path, on your left side is iron fence, and you may follow the track (towards west, turning slightly to your right) until you reach a fenced area with a gate at 7.5 km from the main road. Enter the gate, turn right and follow any convenient track for 22 km heading towards west. You are in Edge of the World.
