Saudi is an emerging travel destination that offers an extraordinary range of experiences. Riyadh and Jeddah both offer the perfect city break; flying into one of these main hubs from overseas is easy, and tourists can marvel at their people, culture, architecture, shopping, and food. In addition, Makkah and Medina deliver lively spiritual experiences for Muslim travellers – these cities are the hearts of Islamic culture, and many pilgrims visit for Hadjj and Umrah each year. Travellers can visit its fascinating, intimate museums that shed light on the city’s religious significance and its location as a geographic crossroad for centuries. From old-world markets to modern malls to boutique concept stores, Saudi’s cities have a wealth of shopping options. Everything is on offer, from traditional wares to designer items to creative collections and offbeat décor. Alternatively, step outside of Saudi’s key centers and be amazed at the natural wonders that are accessible via 4x4 and on foot. Roads that lead to outdoor attractions are well marked – all that’s required is a preferred mode of transport, which can be organised through tour operators, taxis, and car hire companies. As the 12th largest country in the world, in Saudi there is no shortage of areas to explore.
