Hi . . I am Dr Thamer, a certified tour guide in Riyadh city ( License # 40000691). I am a faculty staff member in an educational field. I teach English as a second language. During my studies in the UK, I participated in a cultural day at the Uni. I was so happy to talk about my country and the cultural differences. I like to meet people and show them my lovely country. I made many tours with guests from different parts of the world; Italy, China, UK, India and USA. We traveled through time to more than thousands years in the past to talk about the stone age and how did those people survived during that time. On the other hand, we used the time capsule to travel 300 years back to meet the founder of Saudi Arabia. We will visit some places that have emotional breath-taking stories relatedto king Abdulaziz and how he unified the Kingdome of Saudi Arabia. … with me, you will not get bored … - PhD degree in TESOL - UK - Certified Tour-Guide: Ministry of Tourism- Saudi Araia In my tours I have no restrictions

Overview of your Riyadh tour

We will begin with a car tour passing the streets of Riyadh till we reach our destination. You get a lot of information about many buildings and skyscrapers in the city. Then, the National museum will be our first stop. It has different departments. Each of them transfers us to a diverse era. You will find yourself traveling through time in few minutes. The last destination at the museum is the period of Saudi Estates. We will discover the history of the unification of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Saudi estates from 1727 up to now. After that, we will visit Almasmak fort. We will not miss the auction for antique things at the old market. Finally, we will enjoy a lovely, delicious, traditional Saudi meal in one of the traditional restaurants in the city. With me, you will not get bored.

Dr. Thamer was an incredible guide - an ambassador for the beautiful country of Saudi Arabia, its history, and its people. Our group walked away feeling deeply connected to the incredible history of Riyadh. I would highly recommend spending your day with Dr. Thamer.

I had a fantastic experience with Thamer on this private Riyadh tour. He went above and beyond to show me the best of Riyadh, including a delicious Saudi lunch. I learned a lot about Saudi history and culture and experienced their hospitality. The day was filled with great conversations and meaningful interactions. Diriyah, the historic part of Riyadh, is truly a jewel. Highly recommended!

6 stars if I could. Dr. Thamer is quick to reply, prompt, and an extremely kind, knowledgeable and hospitable tour guide. His passion for the history and heritage of his city are contagious, and he is so clearly respected by You will leave his tour with amazing insights and perspectives on an incredibly rich and beautiful culture.

My tour of Riyadh with Thamer was excellent! I sincerely appreciated the level of detail with which he could thoughtfully explain a wide range of topics including history, culture, religion, urban development and cuisine. During our tour, we passed several other guides, and one could tell how much he is respected. Thamer is not only a knowledgeable guide, he is also as a true gentleman, ambassador and historian which made the hours we spent together pass by before one knew it. He deserves 6 stars!
