Step by Step
The Darb AlMangour trail is one of the most iconic hiking trails in Saudi Arabia, popular with nature, adventure and mountain lovers. This area was, millions of years ago, the bottom of a great sea that covered the Arabian Peninsula, and today shows traces of ancient rivers and paths that stretch for miles.
The experience begins with a pick-up from your location in Riyadh, from where you will travel in comfort to the natural environment of Mount Tuwaiq. Along the way, your guide will introduce you to the geological and cultural history of the region before you begin your hike.
Route and stops for the experience:
- Riyadh: pick up from accommodation and transfer to the Tuwaiq Mountains.
- Darb AlMangour: about 3km trail ascending to the top of the mountain; a historical route once used as a hunting route and connection between regions.
- Top of Mount Tuwaiq: open views of the desert, sunset with golden hues and, at dusk, a chance to see the stars of the Milky Way.
- Return to Riyadh: transfer back and end of the experience.
The trail lasts approximately 2 hours of walking, with a moderate level of effort, ideal for those who are looking for an active experience without the need to be experts. The environment, the silence of the desert and the immensity of the landscape make this route a moment of disconnection and absolute tranquillity.
