From Riyadh to Jeddah, a trip to Saudi Arabia offers amazing ancient ruins and stunning landscapes.
Welcome to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While mostly known as the birthplace of Islam and one of the geopolitical powers of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is ready to emerge on the world stage as a tourism hub and one of the most appealing destinations in the region. It’s the largest nation in the region and due to Vision 2030, which mandated large modernization, economic diversification, and inclusivity initiatives across the nation, it’s also one of the most rapidly changing nations in the world. While in the past, Saudi Arabia was restricted to religious travellers and business workers in the resource sector, Vision 2030 has opened up the nation to most international visitors, who can explore its historic landmarks and experience its cultural traditions for themselves.
On a trip to Saudi Arabia, travellers can go shopping at the many malls and souks of the ultramodern capital Riyadh or learn about the history of the nation at the National Museum or nearby Diriyah. Tabuk provides historic ruins, breathtaking desert valleys, and insight into pre-modern Arabia in the north, while Jeddah acts as the gateway to Makkah (Mecca) in the south, and a comfortable base along the Red Sea. Madinah is the site of the Prophet Muhammad’s first mosque and the only holy city open to non-Muslim visitors. Of course, most international travellers will want to go beyond the cities to the sandstone treasures of AlUla, where the Nabataean rock-hewn settlements of Hegra provide Saudi Arabia with its own answer to Petra.
With a strong economy, rapidly diversifying infrastructure, and wealth of historic sites, luxury accommodations, and museums and attractions, Saudi Arabia is sure to grow into one of the leading destinations in the Middle East.
