Wadi Al Dissah Tour
- Meet the tour guide, who will pick you up from the airport of the hotel and proceed to Al Dissah Valley (Wadi Qaraqir) (8:30).
- Head to the great canyon Alshaq (Ledge of Neom) at 9:30. Al-Shaq: This name means the tear (or rip), which makes sense as here the earth has been literally torn apart by tectonic forces. That is the reason why this place is also known as the Great Canyon of Saudi Arabia, and it’s located in the Tabuk region between Jabal Hesma and Wade Qaraqir, close to Shiqry village. Take a footwalk and check out the Ledge of Neom. An overhang offers a perfect perspective for a souvenir picture. You can also check out the famous lion mountain, as the mountain resembles the face of a lion. Finish the experience and get back inside the vehicle.
