Riyadh: Half Day Old Riyadh Tour & Sky Bridge

Begin your journey through the historic heart of Riyadh by venturing into the old city. Your initial destination is the traditional Dirah Souq, celebrated for its remarkable assortment of antique carpets and priceless Saudi heritage treasures. As you wander through this bustling marketplace, you'll be embraced by the enchanting scents of sandalwood and the fragrances of the Orient. The Souq is also renowned for its men's fashion selection and presents the captivating spectacle of lively auctions.

Following your exploration of Dirah Souq, a short walk will lead you to Masmak Fort, a site of immense historical importance. Constructed during Abdullah bin Rashid's rule in 1895 A.D., this fort served as a vital military garrison for his army. In 1902, it became a symbol of change when His Majesty King Abdulaziz, the founding father of the nation, seized the fort, marking the beginning of the House of Saudi's reclaiming of Arabia.

As your journey into Riyadh's rich heritage comes to a close, you'll head towards the iconic Kingdom Tower. Ascend to its Sky Bridge, positioned nearly 300 meters above the city, and treat yourself to a breathtaking panoramic view of Riyadh, a visual blend of its historical roots and modern skyline.
