Hisma is majestic! 🏜️ A masterclass in exploration with Ahmed, Tabuk’s best guide. Cinematic dunes & legendary vibes. - The Hisma desert is truly on another level. This wasn't just a tour; it was a masterclass in exploration. From navigating ancient rock formations to a high-octane climb up the towering dunes for a sunset that felt cinematic—every moment was epic.
The highlight wasn’t just the breathtaking views, but the genuine hospitality, like sharing a hidden canyon lunch and coffee with local Saudis.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Ahmed. He was incredible—insightful, charismatic, and kept us laughing the whole way. If you’re heading to Tabuk, he is the man to see for a legendary experience. Thoroughly recommended.

Recommending Sherif Hikes - A wonderful day. A tour through the rock formations of Hisma desert followed by a thrilling off road bash up the high dunes to a viewpoint. We saw many animals on our tour through the nature reserve. A delicious home cooked lunch in a secluded canyon with a surprise at the end! Back to the Hisma dunes for sunset at the highest point reached by any of the other vehicles. Delighted to be invited for coffee with some local Saudis. Back to Tabuk with Ahmed helping us with some essential shopping. Ahmed was a thoughtful and convivial host. Lots of information and laughs. Thoroughly recommended.
