Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn)
Terhal
A dramatic cliff face rising over 1,100 meters within the Tuwaiq Mountains, about a two-hour drive northwest of Riyadh; reaching it requires a 4x4 vehicle and a driver experienced with unpaved desert tracks, and it's usually visited as a full-day trip or an evening camping/stargazing excursion. Not a spontaneous trip from downtown — it needs advance arrangement.
