Your booking will be made directly on Hala Yalla

Overview

Swap the city noise for Riyadh’s iconic Red Sand Dunes and settle into a proper Arabian Keshta—a fun, feel-good desert picnic designed for chilled vibes after the adrenaline. Kick things off with dune bashing, then level up the adventure with optional quad biking and sandboarding across endless red sands. As the sun begins to dip, you’ll arrive at a cosy setup with traditional rugs, Sadu prints, and low seating, made for lounging, laughing, and taking it all in. Dig into a spread of local snacks and warm hospitality—think easy bites to graze on while you sip Arabic coffee/tea and watch the sky turn gold, bring your cards or board games, and share stories amongst the dunes. Keep your eyes open too—there’s a good chance you’ll spot camels nearby, and if you’re lucky, even desert foxes or gazelles. Hungry for something more? Add our favourite upgrade: fresh Arabic barbecue or a traditional pressure-cooked dish prepared over the fire—smoky, hearty, and seriously worth it. On the way, enjoy the scenic shift from Riyadh’s skyline, passing landmarks like Kingdom Tower and Al Faisaliah Tower, to quiet suburbs and wide-open desert. You might even pass camel farms, see herds grazing, and watch the sand change from pale gold to vibrant red, dotted with desert shrubs and acacia trees. This isn’t just a picnic and dune bashing, it’s a desert hangout the Saudi way: adventure, food, and togetherness.
