El Museo Nacional tiene diferentes departamentos. Cada uno de ellos nos traslada a una época diversa. Viajaremos en el tiempo a más de miles de años en el pasado para hablar sobre la edad de piedra y cómo sobrevivieron esas personas durante esa época. Por otro lado, utilizaremos la cápsula del tiempo para viajar 300 años atrás y encontrarnos con el fundador de Arabia Saudita. Visitaremos algunos lugares que tienen historias emotivas e impresionantes relacionadas con el rey Abdulaziz y cómo unificó el Reino de Arabia Saudita. Finalmente, descubriremos la historia de la unificación del 1º, 2º y 3º estado saudí desde 1727 hasta la actualidad.

Fuerte de Almasmak. En realidad, es uno de los lugares importantes que debes visitar durante tu estancia en Riad. Era el cuartel general del ejército. Este fuerte es uno de los castillos más importantes de Riad. Frente a su puerta tuvo lugar una batalla en 1902 que marcó el comienzo de una nueva era del reino. Retrocederemos en el tiempo para presenciar la recuperación del fuerte por parte del rey fundador Abdulaziz. Luego, disfrutarás pasando por el antiguo mercado de subastas de antigüedades.

Este pueblo (Diriyah),,, Comenzó la historia del Reino de Arabia Saudita. A partir de aquí se estableció el núcleo del Reino. Desde aquí, Diriyah fue sitiada durante seis meses y destruida por los cañones. A partir de aquí comenzaremos la historia del inicio del primer estado saudí y cómo se desarrollaron los acontecimientos en la construcción de este reino. Diriyah fue el hogar original de la familia real saudita y sirvió como capital del Emirato de Diriyah bajo la primera dinastía saudí de 1727 a 1818. El distrito de Turaif en Addiriyah, la primera capital de los saudíes en Diriyah, fue incluido en la lista de Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO en 2010.

Fascinating tour

Dr Thamer did a great tour introducing me to Saudi history via different sites in Riyadh including those important in the transitions from the first and second Saudi states. He highlighted the richness of its history and also shared about life today. The just reopened Masmak palace was impressive and the real star was Diriyah which is a key tourist attraction in the kingdom. The history museum is partly closed on Sunday so I returned on another day, but having been there with Dr Thamer I was much more comfortable going alone. Great introduction to Riyadh.

Excellent historical tour-customizable

Truly excellent, pickup from our hotel, then a guided tour of Al-Turaif, the National Museum and the Al Mamask fortress. We ended up having a longer day than expected, so to not get stuck in traffic he escorted us back to our hotel via the subway.

Great tour for solo female traveler

I had such a great time on this tour. Habiba was my tour guide and she was incredibly knowledgeable and relaxed. Her son was our driver who was so fun to hear stories from, a great duo overall. I felt safe as a solo female traveler, taken care of, and that they wanted me to see the best of Riyadh in the short amount of time we had together on this tour. It was great to see a mix of history through Diriyah and the Palace and then some facts with the museum. Overall would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to explore Riyadh as a solo traveler.

Excellent tour!

Thamer did an excellent job. The tour visited almost every major tourist site in Riyadh, and Thamer’s knowledge was exceptional. This tour visits the historical heart of old Riyadh as well as some of the more modern areas too. I would highly recommend this tour for a short stay in Riyadh.

Excellent Tour of Riyadh

Our extremely kind and knowledgeable guide Dr Thamer took us on an amazing tour of some of the main attractions in Riyadh. We started at the old city of Diriyah, which gave us a facinating incite to the birth of the Saudi Kingdom. This was followed up by a visit to the National Museum for greater historical perpective. Next stop was the old Souk for a bit of shopping, and then we were treated to some Saudi coffee, dates and sweet Saudi pancakes. We ended the tour with a visit to Kingdom Tower and the spectacular view of the city from the Skybridge on the 99th floor. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Riyadh looking for an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable day out.

The guide was amazing,m. Very patient and taught me a lot about Riyadh and information about Saudi Arabia.

The flexibility, learning about local food. The guide is also extremely educated and lived abroad in two different countries. He used his experience to compare with the direction of development for Saudi Arabia and was very honest about the changes and life. It was great for to hear from him that Saudi Arabia is opening up and that female travelers don’t need to worry about what they wear.
