Uncover vast swathes of untamed beauty and a cultural legacy that will stir the senses.
There are so many surprises to be relished on a journey through Saudi Arabia. Feast your eyes on a stunning diversity of landscapes, from sculpted pink-red dunes and fertile oases to misty emerald mountains and the stunning Red Sea coast, home to some of the most spectacular snorkelling and diving in the world.
Saudi’s cultural treasures will leave you in awe. AlUla has only just opened to international tourists and is a living masterpiece of preserved tombs and honey-coloured temples that stretch back to the Stone Age — a show-stopping archaeological site with fascinating lessons into the evolution of the entire Middle East.
Riyadh is one of the wealthiest capitals in the world; a vibrant buzzing hub where ancient ruins and historic palaces contrast dramatically with soaring skyscrapers and dancing fountains. While along the coast, the azure waters of the Red Sea play host to pearly-white beaches and the port city of Jeddah, where heritage coral homes sit alongside historic souqs and mosques.
Eating in Saudi Arabia is sensational. Tuck into a cuisine fused with Yemeni, Bengali, Pakistani and Indian aromas, indulge in fresh seafood angled from the Red Sea and treat the palate to regular helpings of rich and succulent dates paired with golden Arabic coffee.

Discover the Nabataeans’ second-largest city in Hegra, brimming with spectacular rock-cut tombs, like its Petra counterpart. In the Lihyanite’s former capital, marvel at burial niches guarded by sculpted lions. Navigate the labyrinthine Old Town, inspect age-old inscriptions in archaic languages at Jabal Ikmah and visit the Ottoman-era Al Hijr fort.
A beguiling mix of ancient and modern awaits visitors to the coastal city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s commercial hub and gateway to holy Mecca. Admire the lovely “floating” Al Rahma Mosque, browse outdoor sculptures along the palm-lined Corniche, and be delighted by King Fahd’s fountain, the tallest of its kind.
Dive into Saudi Arabia’s history, starting amid the ruins of Diriyah, a once-splendid walled town that preceded Riyadh as the country’s capital. Imposing Masmak Fort reveals the story behind the nation as it is known today. Shop at vibrant Dirah Souq before touring the National Museum, a World Heritage Site.
Learn about the importance of camels to Saudi Arabian culture as you sit down to a hearty traditional farm lunch in Hail, once a major stop on the caravan route to Hajj. Take in panoramic views from the hilltop A’arif Fort, before enjoying a written demonstration of elegant Thamudic script.
Tour the fascinating ruins of Al-Ula’s Old Town, once an important stop on the incense route between the Mediterranean and Middle East. From the 6th century Musa Bin Nusayr fort, admire the tightly packed mud-brick houses lining narrow streets below, then stroll lush citrus groves nourished by a nearby oasis.

With an arid desert climate and searing temperatures in summer (up to 50°C in some places), Saudi Arabia is best visited in the winter months between late October and early March when temperatures are milder (mid-high 20s during the day). However, the Asir Mountains in the southwest of the country experience heavy fog in the winter and should be visited before November or after February.
Saudi Arabia has been open for travel since 2019 and its tourism sector is growing at a rapid pace. It is a surprisingly easy country to visit and our visitors report a remarkable experience that is mostly safe and welcoming. Despite common assumption, Saudi Arabia welcomes women guests, and A&K’s own office in Saudi Arabia aims to hire a majority of women employees.
