Details

Muslims have made pilgrimage here for centuries, yet the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has only recently begun to open to outsiders. Discover it with an expert Saudi leader, visiting several World Heritage sites as we travel through desert, mountains and to the Red Sea. Along the way, we explore modern cities, stay in a village home, visit the largest camel market in the world, and explore Medina, Islam’s second holiest city. Visiting now, we see a country beginning to open to the world and undergoing a period of considerable change.

Highlights

  • Discover Hegra - the UNESCO-listed Nabatean ruins and ancient rock art at Jubbah
  • Explore the highlights of a kingdom only just opening to the world
  • Experience local life with a night in a homestay in Aseer
  • Witness the largest camel market in the world
  • See Medina, the second holiest Islamic city
  • Delve into the historic Al Balad district of Jeddah
  • Visit Thee Ain Marble Village and the mountains of the south

Included in Price

  • Saudi food often features rice and meat. Lunch is traditionally the main meal of the day. Kabsa is considered the national dish, it consists of richly spiced rice with chicken, meat or fish and is often accompanied by a salsa or salad. Meat stews are a common lunch or dinner. Breakfasts in Saudi Arabia are often quite simple and usually feature coffee and dates. Fresh juices such as mango, orange and hibiscus are popular, as are juice-based cocktails, qahwa (a green coffee bean and cardamon-based drink often served with dates) and tea are common too. Alcohol and pork are strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia, do not bring either into the country. Please advise at time of booking if you have any dietary requirements.
