Saudi Arabia Holidays
Saudi Arabia, recently opened to non-pilgrims, offers a unique and varied holiday experience. This vast kingdom, previously hidden from most travellers, boasts a rich history and fascinating contrasts. Visitors can explore relics of ancient empires, holy cities, and quiet villages nestled in fertile oases, alongside vibrant, modern metropolises with skyscrapers, shopping malls, and a cosmopolitan population.
The Arabian Peninsula’s human history spans 10 millennia, evident in prehistoric inscriptions and rock art, like those near Jubbah. Historic empires such as the Dadan, Babylonians, Romans, and Ottomans have left their marks, with the Nabataean trading nation’s rock-hewn tombs being particularly notable.
