Discover Saudi Arabia —
A land where desert meet the sea, Saudi Arabia is a Kingdom of contrasts and hidden treasures. Towering dunes shimmer under endless skies, ancient rock art tells stories of millennia past, and bustling cities are alive with modernity. From the Red Sea’s coral-rich coasts to the dramatic mountains of Asir, every corner offers a different perspective, and opportunity for adventure.
Step into Riyadh, a city where tradition and innovation coexist in striking harmony. Explore the restored mud-brick fortresses of Diriyah, wander through contemporary art galleries, or sample bold flavours in vibrant souks. Experience the country's proud heritage in its cuisine; delicate kabsa infused with spices, fresh seafood from the Arabian Gulf, and sweet dates paired with rich Arabic coffee.
For history and culture seekers, the Kingdom offers wonders that span millennia. Marvel at the Nabatean tombs of AlUla, wander through the ancient markets of Jeddah’s historic Al-Balad district, or stand beneath the awe-inspiring rock formations of the Edge of the World, a dramatic cliff that offers panoramic views over endless plains and rolling desert dunes.
Saudi Arabia has rapidly emerged as a major global sports destination. Since 2021, the Jeddah Corniche Circuit has showcased the glamour and adrenaline of Formula 1, while the country also hosts the regional PFL MENA MMA league. In the coming years, the country is also set to welcome the Spanish Super Cup and tennis’ ATP Next Gen Finals. Beyond competition, volcanic deserts and rugged mountains create a striking backdrop for hiking and biking, while the pristine Red Sea coastline invites visitors to enjoy world-class snorkelling, diving, sailing, and more.
Whether discovering a centuries-old caravan route, tasting fragrant spices in a desert camp, or sailing along the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia reveals a landscape where history, culture, and natural beauty unfold at every turn.
