The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia certainly holds much: ancient heritage sites, mega cities, large-scale dramatic landscapes, and cultural exposure!
From the massive rock-cut tombs of AlUla to the traditional Jeddah souk, Saudi Arabia beckons its tourists into a world where past and present exist in elegant harmony.
Each spot promises some unique magnifying experience: Riyadh a futuristic outlook, the silent coral reefs of the Red Sea, and Abha belongs to the mountain chills of Asir.
AlUla Heritage: Passing Through Time
AlUla is considered perhaps one of the most marvelous wonders of Saudi Arabia, oozing with history.
The vast ancient oasis contains the UNESCO-recognized site of Hegra (Madain Saleh), rumoured to be Arabia's Petra, with tombs carved in rock and exhibiting highly elaborate facades.
If one walks in the dry desert valley and high sandstone cliff by nature, it feels like another civilization frozen in time.
A name too enticing in the reunification between archaeology and untouched desert splendour places AlUla right in the lap of any history buff or thrill seeker.

The Ultrabright Pulse of Riyadh
As the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh is the duality of old and new.
The Kingdom Centre Tower soars to 302 m, and that’s exciting, but what is breathtaking is to look down and experience the ridiculously high rise-urban planning, and at the same time to see Diriyah with mud brick palaces and narrow streets of another time and place that tell just some of this kingdom's incredibly rich history.
In fact, Diriyah is the birthplace of Saudi Arabia.
The food scene in Riyadh is exhilarating and is a showcase to not only current interpretations of traditional Arabic food such as kabsa offered up in addition to a variety of exceptional dining experiences of all types of cuisines from around the world.

Jeddah: Gateway to the Red Sea
Jeddah is another amazing destination, the cosmopolitan capital of Saudi Arabia.
The Al-Balad district, which is the historical district from the days of Pearl Divers (a UNESCO World Heritage site), as well as the coral-stone houses, souks, and street life of the city, are all interesting in their own respect.
On the other end of Jeddah, along the Red Sea, we find one of the world’s most incredible diving and snorkeling coral reefs.
Jeddah's seaside promenade and public art are also popular for evening walks by both residents and visitors alike.

Edge of the World: An Amazing Natural Site
Edge of the World is an awesome adventure that requires taking a trip if you are travelling out of Riyadh's main city.
The cliffs literally drop off the horizon!
The views over an endless desert plateau are incredible - you look in one direction as far as the horizon will allow.
This is a popular destination for adventurers and photographers.
Like any outdoor activity, the ideal time to see Edge of the World is at sunset, where the sands shimmer orange and gold.

Abha and the Asir Mountains
Saudi Arabia has a really unique desert culture and climate.
Thus, the city of Abha in the Asir Mountains will show a very different face of the Kingdom.
You are literally entering a different world - mild climate, lush green valleys, and cable cars zigzagging across stunning valleys.
Definitely dont miss the stunning the Asir National Park and dive into the Rijal Alma cultural complex to enjoy even more of cultural wealth of the region!

These experiences adorn the Kingdom with a special charm that distinguishes it as a unique destination in the Middle East -- and it is rapidly becoming a stop on everyone's tourist's list!
Many travel changes have taken place lately, allowing more tourists to explore these beauties.
Easier tourism policies and online procedures, including a brand new Saudi Arabia visa for Indians, make travel planning way easier for tourists!
