1. Riyadh to the Edge of the World
Just a short drive (about 90km) from the capital, Jebel Fihrayn, known as the "Edge of the World," offers breathtaking views of the Tuwaiq escarpment. Standing on the cliffs, you can see the horizon stretch endlessly.
- Best vehicle: 4x4 or SUV (essential for the last stretch of rough terrain).
- Best time: Winter months, aiming for sunset.
2. Jeddah to Yanbu along the Red Sea
Drive north from Jeddah to Yanbu and enjoy the stunning coastal views. The road is well-maintained and offers numerous spots to stop for a swim or a picnic. Yanbu itself is known as the "Pearl of the Red Sea" and offers incredible diving spots.
3. The mountainous road to Abha
For those who love winding roads and cooler climates, a trip to Abha in the Asir region is a must. The scenery is lush and green, quite different from the rest of the country. Don't miss the ride up Jebel Sawda, the highest peak in Saudi Arabia.
4. Al Ula Antiquities
A longer journey, but worth every kilometer. Al Ula is home to Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The drive through the desert rocks is mesmerizing. You'll drive through canyons and past ancient tombs carved into the rock face.
5. Dammam to Bahrain Causeway
Experience the engineering marvel of the King Fahd Causeway connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. It's a unique drive over the water, offering sea views on both sides for 25 kilometers.
