The 6 Best Diriyah Tours from Riyadh

6 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.4 average  ·  from $57

At-Turaif’s mud-brick quarter is where the Saudi state started, and it is a half day rather than a full one. These 6 trips pair it with Masmak, the souq or dinner in the wadi, and the price difference is mostly private versus shared.

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 11 reviews · 4 hours · from $57Our pick

Review of the $57 Diriyah UNESCO tour from Riyadh, covering transport, At-Turaif, value, guide service, construction, and who should book.

“We were very disappointed by this tour. The driver was on time and very friendly, but there was no guide (misleadingly mentioned in the tour description) at Diriyah and the At-Turaif Unesco Site which we had to explore all by ourselves. In addition, there was a lot of construction going on, so the most interesting palaces and places were closed for visitors. Totally overpriced for what is basically a drop-off shuttle service.”

“Guide Mohammed contacted me immediately upon booking and supported me with things I was unsure about, such as obtaining the eVisa until I entered the country. For Japanese people, Saudi Arabia is a mysterious country with little available information. However, by joining a tour attended by Mohammed, you will realize not only that the country is undergoing remarkable modernization, but also that, as a historic nation on the Arabian Peninsula, it possesses many valuable treasures.”
