Welcome to Saudi Arabia! This vast desert country is a stunning mix of modern cityscapes and traditional Bedouin culture, with some of the world’s most incredible natural and architectural attractions.

One of the most interesting facts about Saudi Arabia is that it is the birthplace of Islam and home to the two holiest sites in all of the religion: Mecca and Medina, which millions of Muslims flock to every year for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.

Aside from its religious significance, there are many attractions worth visiting in this beautiful kingdom. Start your journey in capital Riyadh, where you can marvel at the Sheik Mohammad Al Faisal Al Saud Mosque, explore the stunning green spaces of Diriyah Park or take a day trip to the historic ruins of al-Hofuf. And don’t forget to sample some delicious local cuisine like kabsa and shawarma too!

From here, head to Jeddah’s picturesque corniche for some breathtaking views over the Red Sea or take an excursion into nearby ancient Hejaz to discover centuries-old architecture such as Mada'in Saleh or the Jabal al-Lawz mountain fortress.

Last but not least, no visit to Saudi Arabia would be complete without experiencing a slice of Bedouin life in the vast deserts. For a truly unique experience, explore a hidden gem like Uruq Bani Maarid, an area located deep in the Rub' al Khali desert featuring rustic villages, rock formations and hidden oases.

From sacred sites to stunning natural wonders, Saudi Arabia is a destination that offers unforgettable experiences for all kinds of travelers. So why not plan your next adventure here today?
