Edge of The World

Reviewed By dfoodgoddess - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Edge of the world is a must to visit if you are in Saudi Arabia. The best time to visit is during winter. We stayed overnight, stayed inside the tent, make some campfire to make us warm, a portable stove is a must to cook something fast, hot water for hot drinks, and instant noodles. Yes, it is safe to stay overnight if you are with a large group of people, those who love photography will truly appreciate the beauty of sunset and sunrise. The majestic views of the cliff will make you feel enchanted, such a beautiful place, I was charmed by the mystique beauty of the edge! And don't forget 4x4 is a must and don't visit during hot season.

Al Faisaliyah Centre

Reviewed By Tommy2124 - Motherwell, United Kingdom

This mall has everything you need, quality shopping, excellent restaurants and if you work in the tower then you have everything very close by. The food court has been reduced due to ongoing construction works, however the shops are fantastic. Staff and service all first class, would recommend.
