Escape the city

Choose the kashta experience that’s right for you

Spend a night or two under the stars to soak up all that Riyadh’s great outdoors has to offer. Even if you don’t know how to pitch a tent, there’s a Kashta experience that’s perfect for you somewhere in Riyadh. Tip: Make sure to dress warm during winters as the desert temperature is definitely not your typical weather.

The park also has quad bike rentals, vast sand dunes, and horseback riding, making it an easy all in one spot.
