Lately, I heard that there are some places around Riyadh where you can rent ATV and had a motor safari at night time in the desert.

Hi Dodee,

I appreciate your help. I have checked the web site but it is only in Arabic which I can't read even.

Thanks again

Dodee

Thanks Dodee, I will try to reach there. I hope we will not get lost in the middle of nowhere.

Have a nice weekend

The one that Dodee mentioned is an organized desert expedition and they do all sorts of fun activities, however it's pretty pricey to lob out S.R 2500 - 3000.

You can always drive out to Thumama, you know the airport road, and once you get there, especially on Fridays, you'll see loads of crowds camping and what not. There, you'll find ATV rentals, hourly free I believe is S.R 200 or you can take the thing for the whole day for about a S.R 1000.

Who on earth wd want to rent a quad bike for a whole day. Just a few hrs on it and your bottoms gonna be so sore and your right thumb will be feeling-less from all the acceleration.

nevertheless, thanks for the info NScully.
