Saudi Arabia

Last updated: 2023

Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a major tourism destination, offering a mix of ancient heritage sites like AlUla and Diriyah, stunning desert landscapes, and vibrant modern cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah. With the launch of its Vision 2030 initiative, the country has opened up to international travelers, promoting cultural festivals, Red Sea resorts, and historical tours. From the Empty Quarter to the Hijaz Railway, Saudi Arabia provides a unique and evolving travel experience for those seeking both adventure and history.

I spent a week in Saudi Arabia in the winter of 2022/23. I rented a car and drove 5000 km around the country. It was extremely intense, but I managed to see entire country.

Places visited: Medina, Al Ula, Madinah Saleh, Tajma, Daumat, Jubbah, Hail, Al Ahsa, Rijad, Hima Wells, Najran, Abha, Rajal Almaa, Thee Ain, Makkah, Jeddah.
