I have always been fascinated by microlight flying ever since I tried it in August 2012 in Jeddah, KSA. I just find anything related to heights & flying relaxing :) Adventurous side of me writing, I guess! This is the reason why I keep on looking for similar activities & adventures soon as I arrived in Riyadh last October 2016. Been searching online & in social apps until I finally got lucky to encounter a possible contact who is connected with the Saudi Aviation Club in Thumama area (Location: 25.1990953,46.6164063).
I asked if they do microlight flying for guests & non-members and was confirmed promptly. I am not quite sure as to the exact amount, but i think it's between 200-250 SAR per pax on a 15-minute ride in the Thumama National Park vicinity at the northern tip of the King Khalid International Airport.
The date was set. One Friday afternoon when I proceeded to the location armed with excitement and a happy face knowing that I will be able to try flying once again! This time with an ultralight trike!
It's indeed FUN to fly!!! The view may have been just sands and barren land but still the act of flying itself is sooo overwhelming & relaxing for me :)
