On the day

Your Roam driver will collect you from your hotel and transfer you to the Diriyah, where you begin your tour with an expert architect.

Whether you're drawn to history, architecture, or simply seeking a unique cultural immersion, this 3-hour tour of Diriyah will leave you with a deep appreciation for the remarkable heritage that defines this extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage site. The Najdi architecture is known for thick walls of mud brick and flat roofs, perfect for the desert’s hard conditions. With homes nestled close for continuous shade and winding paths weaving through the community, this architectural style creates cool sanctuaries in intense summers and cosy retreats on chilly nights.

Extend your experience with private tours of the KAFD and King Fahad National Library, as well as meeting artists of the JAX District.

For an extra special end to the day, Roam recommends dinner on a roof top in Diriyah.
