Why Saudi Arabia ?

 Saudi Arabia is perhaps the most well known and yet one of the least traveled to countries in the world, for leisure that is.  The country plays host to millions of visitors each year, mainly for Islamic rites of hajj or umrah, so they are used to large numbers of travelers. In fact they receive the most per year if we compare with other well known Middle Eastern destinations.

Nearly everyone, to some extent, has an impression of Saudi Arabia, from their oil, as the birthplace of Islam. Surprisingly and in a very short time say from 2018 , the country started to reinvest in its tourist attraction strength which are mainly its authentic experiences given its closed boundaries to most outsiders during the past. This means historical sites as big as the one in Jordan valley that is Al Ula then the old town in Jeddah where is and was the hub for many traders and Hajj pilgrimage used as their base for Makkah. The impressive palm oasis in Eastern Province , the untouched virgin coastlines in the red sea as impressive as the ones found next door in Egypt. Then we have the valley, landscapes and mountains in North and South with its seasonal waterfalls and snow. Yes it’s actually snow in the north. Bottom line Saudi has a lot to offer for authentic experience seeker that blends with the great hospitality of its people. Our Saudi Arabia tours and Saudi Arabia travel packages includes these impressive experiences.

Saudi Arabia offers a wide range of activities, from touring UNESCO World Heritage sites to exploring the 2,640 kilometers of coastline, and sifting through vast swathes of desert landscapes, such as the appropriately named, Empty Quarter.  Travel for leisure will have amazing stories to recount to your friends and family.
