Starting from the downtown area of old Riyadh, our journey unfolds through the bustling Dirah Souq, renowned for its collection of antique carpets and other valuable Saudi heritage antiques. This vibrant marketplace is filled with the rich aroma of sandalwood and other oriental scents, offering an engaging experience for both buyers and sellers alike.

Following the Dirah Souq, we make our way to the historic Masmak Fort, situated conveniently near the ancient souk. This significant architectural landmark holds immense historical importance, dating back to the establishment of the Third Saudi Kingdom under the rule of Abdullah bin Rashid Al Saud. Constructed during his reign in 1895 AD, the fortified palace served as a military stronghold for Abdullah bin Rashid's troops. In 1902, upon the capture of the fort by King Abdulaziz ibn Abdul Rahman al-Saud, it marked the commencement of the reconquest of Arabia by the House of Saud.

Our exploration continues as we ascend towards the famous Kingdom Tower and its Sky Bridge, providing us with an unparalleled view of Riyadh at approximately 300 meters above the city skyline.
