I was asked in the circle of friends whether Cliff of the World is worth it.

During my trip to Saudi Arabia during the National Day holiday, the place that left a deep impression on me was of course the Cliff of the World. Usually attractions with "world" in the title make me feel flashy, but this place really surprised me. Is Cliff of the World worth it after being asked in the circle of friends? Some people say that it’s just a bunch of Gobi deserts, and there’s nothing you can’t see. Some people say that the sunset in the desert is desolate and beautiful, but this trip still lives up to it. Regarding the ✅ and ❌ of World Cliff, I have summarized them below. As for whether it is worth it or not, you can weigh it yourself. ▫️ 🚗The Cliff of the World is about a 2-hour drive from downtown Riyadh. There is no public transportation to reach it. It is usually recommended to charter a car or join a local group. 🏃Route: Riyadh-Local Ancient Village-Bat Cave-Cliff of the World 🌟Notes: 1️⃣It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking point to the Cliff of the World viewing point. There is sand and dust all the way, and it is very sunny. It is recommended that everyone wear sun protection, wear a hat and sunglasses, and prepare a bottle of water, otherwise you will be very thirsty. 2️⃣ It is not recommended to drive by yourself, because the second half of the journey from Riyadh to Cliff of the World is completely bumpy dirt road, and there is no signal. It will be really scary when you return after watching the sunset and everything is dark. ▫️ ✅Worthful points: 👉The sun is really big near the equator, and the round red sun looks so shocking~ 👉The group of Gobi rocks on the Cliff of the World are amazing up close! Like a giant rising from the ground, standing abruptly in the desert. 👉After watching the sunset in the desert, local groups usually have a starry sky tent dinner. Although the meal is average, when you look up you see the Milky Way and you can’t help but wow! ▫️ ❌Not worth it: 👉It was a nearly 2-hour car ride, and the second half of it was really bumpy. All the dust that was raised along the way entered the car, and the air conditioner couldn't filter it out at all. People who get motion sickness will doubt their life. 👉The scenic spots we passed on the way, the ancient village and the Bat Cave, are not good for anyone who goes there. The ancient village is just a bunch of abandoned houses without any maintenance. I didn’t see a single one 🦇 inside the Bat Cave, and it was very hot. 👉After struggling for so long, the time to wait for the sunset at the Cliff of the World was very short, probably less than an hour, so the drive back and forth took 4 hours, and most of it was bumpy on the dirt road... ▫️ Anyway, if you travel to Riyadh, Cliff of the World is still the most worthwhile place in my mind. If you have enough time, I still recommend going there. After all... you have come!
