Mountain Bike Trails in Riyadh — MTB & Gravel Routes | MTB Riyadh
Riyadh is one of the best places in Saudi Arabia to ride a mountain bike. Around the city you can ride the Tuwaiq escarpment, wadis such as Wadi Hanifah, and desert singletrack and sand tracks — terrain for every level, from flowing gravel tracks to steep, rocky climbs.
These are the trails MTB Riyadh rides and maps. Each one shows its area, distance, climbing, level and surface, with a map pin for the start, directions and, where available, a GPX file to load onto your GPS.
A mountain bike (hardtail or full suspension) suits the rocky escarpment trails; gravel bikes are great on the wadi and desert tracks.
The riding season runs from autumn to spring; in summer, rides start at dawn. Always wear a helmet, carry plenty of water, a spare tube, a pump and a charged phone with the route loaded, and never ride remote trails alone. The easiest way to start is to join an MTB Riyadh group ride.
16 trails are mapped — the list, maps and GPX files are for MTB Riyadh members.
