1.Full-Day Riyadh Exploration Tour with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 28 reviews · 8 hours · from $121Our pick

Explore Riyadh’s museum, palace, souq, fort, and Sky Bridge in one 8-hour tour, with hotel pickup and optional lunch.

“We were not offered any water, as you are with most tours. The guide had no basic information on the places we visited. When we were dropped at the national museum, he told us that we could also visit the palace, yet did not even bother to leave the parked car to walk us 1-200 metres and point out exactly where we should go. Basically he was more like a taxi than a guide. It would have been cheaper and just as good to pay for Uber’s”
