Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Begin your exploration of Riyadh with a visit to the National Museum, which is a primary custodian of Saudi national heritage and culture. The museum offers an overview of Arabian civilization from prehistory to the modern era. Next, we will visit the nearby Murabba Palace (external visit only, as it is under renovation), one of the historic buildings in the city. The palace, named for its square shape measuring 400 by 400 meters, is a significant historical site. After lunch (on your own), continue your tour with a visit to Masmak Fort (Subject to re-opening post October) and its museum, which depicts the history of the Al-Saud family's conquest of Arabia. Built during the reign of Abdullah bin Rashid in 1895 A.D. As a military garrison, the fort was captured by His Majesty King Abdulaziz in 1902, marking the beginning of the 3rd Saudi Kingdom. Later, experience the panoramic view of the city from the Sky Bridge. In the late afternoon, we will drive past the Kingdom Tower and Faisaliah Tower before returning to your hotel. Dinner is at your leisure, and overnight stay in Riyadh.
After breakfast and check-out, explore Al-Ula, an ancient oasis with a history spanning 7,000 years. Visit the famous Hegra (Madain Saleh), the first UNESCO World Heritage site in Saudi Arabia, and the southernmost Nabatean city known for its 94 monumental tombs. After lunch (on your own), continue your journey to Medina, approximately a 3.5 to 4-hour drive. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel. Dinner is at your leisure, and overnight stay in Medina.
