The Edge of the World, known locally as Jebel Fihrayn, is a dramatic 1,131-metre-high escarpment marking the end of the Tuwaig Mountain range approximately 100 kilometres northwest of Riyadh. The name derives from the breathtaking panorama from the cliff's edge, where the vast, flat desert stretches to the horizon. Reaching the site requires a 4x4 vehicle and careful preparation, as the final stretch involves rugged, unmarked desert tracks with no services or reliable mobile signal. The challenging access is rewarded with stark, magnificent views, fossil-strewn terrain, and exceptional stargazing, best experienced at sunset when the cliffs glow in the warm evening light.

Al-Faisaliya Tower is a landmark of modern Riyadh, recognised as the kingdom's first skyscraper. Its distinctive pyramid-like form, crowned with a glass globe, punctuates the Olaya district skyline.

The complex at its base houses a refined shopping mall, known for its selection of luxury brands and calm, spacious corridors. While the city now has taller structures, the tower remains a significant architectural pioneer, offering a classic perspective on Riyadh's dramatic growth.
