Riyadh Desert

Embark on an extraordinary journey with a riyadh desert safari.

Embark on an exceptional journey into the Arabian desert with a Riyadh desert safari. This mesmerizing expedition offers a blend of exciting adventure, serene stargazing, and a genuine dive into Saudi Arabian culture within a traditional tent. This comprehensive guide takes you through this extraordinary experience.

The Majesty of the Dunes

Your safari kicks off with an electrifying off-road drive across the vast golden dunes. Accomplished drivers skillfully navigate the 4×4 vehicles over the undulating sand hills in a thrilling activity called ‘dune bashing’. This thrilling introduction to the desert safari invokes a profound sense of awe and appreciation for the desert’s grandeur and beauty.

As an added adventure, quad biking presents a thrilling exploration of the dunes. Feel the wind in your face as you command your journey over the sand dunes’ peaks and valleys. The exhilaration of the ride, along with the breathtaking desert view at Riyadh Desert Camp , creates a powerful sense of liberation.

Exciting Activities

The Riyadh desert safari presents a range of engaging activities. Don your sandboards and glide down the dunes for a heart-pounding sand skiing experience. This unique activity offers a fun and novel way to take pleasure in the desert’s sandy landscapes.

For those who prefer a more physically challenging activity, scale the towering red dunes. The climb may be demanding, but the striking panoramic view from the peak, along with the sense of accomplishment, is absolutely rewarding.

A Traditional Saudi Experience

As the sun descends and the desert temperature drops, you’re invited into a traditional Saudi Arabian tent, offering a culturally immersive experience. These tents, known as ‘Arish’, are constructed to provide shade and coolness, with palm fronds serving as natural insulation. The beautifully decorated interior, adorned with traditional patterns and motifs, sets a unique stage for the evening’s activities.

Within this traditional Arabian setting, enjoy mesmerizing performances of traditional Saudi dance, listen to the hypnotic rhythms of Arabian music, or even get a henna tattoo—a popular form of body art in Saudi culture.

Dinner in the desert is a noteworthy experience. Indulge in a feast of traditional Saudi Arabian cuisine under the starry sky. The delicious combination of juicy grilled meats, aromatic rice dishes, and delightful local desserts, served within the authentic setting of the Arish, results in an unparalleled dining experience.

A Bond with Nature

Take a moment to feel the sand and form a connection with the desert. The sensation of the fine, golden grains slipping through your fingers serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty of the desert landscape.

As night falls, gear up for a mesmerizing stargazing experience. Away from the city lights, the desert sky offers a clear, breathtaking view of celestial bodies. Whether you’re an amateur stargazer or an astronomy enthusiast, the desert night sky is a sight that will leave you spellbound.

A Riyadh desert safari is an engaging journey into the heart of Saudi Arabia’s natural and cultural heritage. From the thrill of dune bashing and quad biking to the tranquillity of stargazing, from the cultural immersion in a traditional Saudi tent to the simple act of feeling the sands, every moment is designed to create lasting memories. So, gear up to respond to the call of the dunes and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime Arabian adventure.

So, here’s what you need to know about the various types of desert safaris available for the choice of travelers.

Evening Safari Riyadh

There's something special about the capital of Saudi Arabia when it comes to an evening safari. The desert in Riyadh offers some enchanting views of the sandy terrain while one can gaze at the amazing sunset view in the evening. The safari begins from the visitor's location as the highly professional drivers pick you up from your location. Once the safari begins, one can expect to enjoy activities like Dune Driving, Dune Bashing, sandboarding, and so on.

In fact, a major reason why an evening safari in Riyadh competes directly with some of the top attractions in the UAE is because of the mesmerizing evening sky that visitors get to embrace during the tour. While no safari is complete without a camel ride, one can enjoy a BBQ dinner in a traditional Arabian tent too which is worth every moment.

What To Expect On An Evening Riyadh Desert Safari?

Here's what one can normally expect during the evening safari in Riyadh.

The safari begins with the visitors being picked up from their location. Be it a hotel, airport, or any other place, professional drivers are there to pick you up and drive you to the safari site. It is interesting to note that only 4X4 vehicles are used for the safari as only such types of vehicles can be driven on the desert sand.

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou says his 15-month-old son died

By Christopher Brito

April 30, 2024 / 4:08 PM EDT / CBS News

Former UFC champion Francis Ngannou said in a social media post on Monday that his 15-month-old son Kobe died.

Ngannou, an MMA fighter and heavyweight boxer , revealed his young child's death in a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram, saying his "little boy, my mate, my partner Kobe was full of life and joy."

"I was my best self next to him and now I have no clude [sic] of who I am," he wrote. "Life is so unfair to hit us where it hurts the most."

"How do you deal with such a thing?" Ngannou added. "How can you live with it? Please help me if you have an idea because I really don't know what to do and how to deal with this." 

The 37-year-old did not disclose his son's cause of death.

"What's the purpose of life if what we're fighting tooth and nail to get away from is what finally hit us the hardest!?" he said in a different post . "... Why does life always take what we don't have? I'm f---ing tired."

Many fighters, including UFC legend Conor McGregor, expressed their condolences to Ngannou.

"I am so sorry to hear of your loss Francis, my prayers are with you and your family at this time," McGregor  said .

Ngannou's manager, Marquel Martin, said in an Instagram post that he's "absolutely heartbroken" for him.

"You have an Angel on your side," Martin said. "And he's with you everyday ... cheering on his dad and watching him continue to impact the world for the better."

After rising from poverty in Cameroon and homelessness in France, Ngannou became known for his powerful punches and reached the mountaintop of the professional fighting world. He was the reigning  UFC heavyweight champion before leaving the league and becoming a boxer. He endured a knockout loss against Anthony Joshua in March and took another loss last year against World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

Ngannou's next fight will be against Renan Ferreira in the Professional Fighters League.
