点评:We were lucky enough to stumble upon reviews on Hashem AlShareef, and I reached out to him via WhatsApp, and responded to my inquiry within a couple of hours, even though it was the middle of the night in Riyadh! I arranged a trip for a family visit (with adult kids) we were planning there on our way to Oman. Hashem planned the day with a pickup at our hotel, a stop at Diriyah (a location that represents the rich Saudi history and the amazing recent development wrapped up in one incredible place - all explained by Hashem) on our way to the Edge of the World. Do not leave Riyadh without visiting this amazing, vast canyon in the desert (honestly way more impressive than the Grand Canyon, and far fewer people). Hashem knows all the best spots as well as the canyon’s remarkable geography (and all the best pictures to take, which he does for you and sends at the end of trip, so you can just enjoy taking it all in). His knowledge, stories and truly welcoming and friendly personality make the experience all the more special. He will provide special Saudi coffee and dates at the edge of the canyon after the sun goes down to wrap up the day, before heading back to drop you at your hotel. This is truly a must-see experience with a must-hire guide. One thing of note, there is lots of conflicting info out there about how far/difficult the drive is. It’s less than 90 minutes from the center of Riyadh, along very smooth roads (and in Hashem’s comfortable SUV), with just 10 minutes of off-road driving to get to the parking literally at the Edge of the World. Hashem knows the off-road part so well that he absolutely minimizes the bumps. Cell signal is spotty, and not knowing the way, makes having a professional guide like Hashem highly advisable. The fact that he makes your experience so fun and special is an added bonus! You can contact him on What’s App at +966 54 846 1616.
翻译:我们很幸运地偶然发现了关于哈希姆·阿尔沙里夫的评价,于是我通过WhatsApp联系了他。即使当时是利雅得的深夜,他也在几个小时内回复了我的询问!我为一家人(包括成年子女)安排了一次旅行,我们计划在前往阿曼的途中顺道游览利雅得。哈希姆安排了当天的行程,包括到我们酒店接我们,在前往“世界尽头”的途中,先在迪里耶停留(迪里耶完美地融合了沙特丰富的历史和令人惊叹的现代发展——哈希姆会一一讲解)。千万不要错过这个位于沙漠中、令人叹为观止的壮丽峡谷(说实话,它比大峡谷更壮观,而且游客也少得多)。哈希姆熟知所有最佳景点以及峡谷独特的地理特征(他还会帮你拍好照片,并在行程结束后发送给你,让你尽情享受美景)。他的渊博知识、精彩的故事以及热情友好的个性,让这次旅行更加难忘。日落之后,他会在峡谷边缘为您提供特制的沙特咖啡和椰枣,为一天的行程画上完美的句号,之后再送您返回酒店。这绝对是一次不容错过的体验,而且一定要聘请一位向导。需要注意的是,关于这段路程的距离和难度,网上有很多说法不一的信息。实际上,从利雅得市中心出发,沿着非常平坦的道路(乘坐哈希姆舒适的SUV)行驶不到90分钟,只需10分钟的越野路程即可到达位于“世界尽头”的停车场。哈希姆对越野路段非常熟悉,能够最大限度地减少颠簸。由于手机信号不稳定,而且您也可能不熟悉路线,因此强烈建议您聘请像哈希姆这样专业的向导。更重要的是,他能让您的旅程充满乐趣和意义!您可以通过WhatsApp联系他,号码是+966 54 846 1616。
