Must See

The Kingdom Tower Skybridge- Definitely worth a trip.  The view from 99 floors up is amazing. You can see all of the lights of the city but none of the dirt or trash.   It will cost you 35 riyals to make the trip up and once in the skybridge, you can have your picture taken with the lights in the background for an additional 20 riyals. 

The Wild Baboons- Take 65 south towards Karjh.  Go through the checkpoint to exit 10 then make a left turn.  At the T intersection, make a right turn and continue about 3km.  On the left, you will see a paved road between two walled compounds, take the left and then go over the railroad tracks and between the two motor pools. Next, follow the winding dirt road to the top of the escarpment under the red and white cell towers.  The baboons will eat almost anything but love fruit and bring plenty because on the right day and at the right time, you could see 80-90 of them.  Be careful with small children and please don't try to touch the baboons. 

Edge of the World- Beautiful place. About 30km of this trip off road.  You will need a 4x4 vehicle.  Wear comfy clothing and hiking/tennis shoes and bring plenty of water.  There are 5 primary viewing sites.  The below picture is from site 1-The picture window. There are plenty of hiking places, you can hike as little or as much as you'd like. If you go during the heat of the summer, bring extra water.
