Once closed to tourists, Saudi Arabia is now warmly welcoming travellers to explore its glitzy cities and golden sands. With the help of our specialists and expert guides on the ground, discover what this mysterious Middle Eastern nation has to offer. Ride through the desert atop a camel, wind back time at the rock-carved tombs of Hegra – the country’s first UNESCO World Heritage site – and immerse yourself in culture in the capital, Riyadh, where the National Museum, Masmak Fortress and bustling Souq Al Zal await. Add a splash of adventure to your Saudi Arabia holiday with a 4x4 adventure to the Edge of the World, a knee-wobbling cliff formation which is just a stone’s throw from the capital. And then there’s the food – because no trip is complete without sinking your teeth into a country’s cuisine. Think kabsa and mandi – steamy rice with spiced meats – fluffy flatbreads and sizzling street food, all washed down with aromatic Arabic coffee. Itching to uncover some of the country’s natural wonders? Head for the misty Asir Mountains (home to the terraced village of Rijal Almaa) or the spectacular Sharaan Nature Reserve (boasting dramatic cliffs and rare Arabian leopards). Have we piqued your interest? That’s just scratching the surface of a Saudi Arabia holiday.
