Abdul was a fantastic guide, generous with his time and knowledge of Riyadh, and the Kingdom in general. We couldn't image a better tour.

Highlights of modern capital - private driving sightseeing tour
Overview of your Riyadh tour
As a professional tour guide who was born and raised in the city of Riyadh, I know all the city by heart and I will take you in a half-day tour show you the highlights. My goal is to show tourists the development that happened in Saudi Arabia and change the image that most have about it and tell the tourists about the leaps of urbanization that happened in Saudi Arabia. I will provide the background information necessary for tourists to understand how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has changed in the last 90 years from mud houses and forts to a civilized city which today competes with the capitals of the developed world. I have deeply studied the history of the country so I'll be able to explain this complex process to you and I'm sure you'll find it as interesting as I do. You'll see how modern Riyadh city became and I will show you the main attractions and the tallest skyscrapers in town.

Abdulrahman provide clear pre-tour information that set us up for a successful tour. He was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide as we hit the local attractions. He made the tour informational and educational for us. He closed out the day with a great restaurant in a traditional local Riyadh establishment for lunch. Abdulrahman is a great guide, and we highly recommend him for your Riyadh SA tour.

Yep. Abdul is the guy. Abdul was the consummate professional -- punctual, courteous, flexible and smart. He knows most everything you'd want to know about this exotic land -- from Kings to to Arabian horses. We loved strolling thru nearby Diriya park -- an elegant mall with outdoor cafes and a UNESCO World Heritage archeological museum. He adds his personal touch -- you know you're hosted by a proud gentleman who "keeps it real" while clearly loving his job, his family, his country.

Abdulrahman is a very good tour guide. He is punctual and always reply on all my queries even before we started the tour. We learned a lot from him about KSA and was able to explore places we want to see in Riyadh during our limited layover. My husband and I felt very safe and comfortable during the tour. I highly recommend him.
