Highlights & Experiences
From Cultural Treasures to Unique Natural Wonders – The Best of Your Destination
AlUla & Hegra – The Hidden Treasures of the Nabataeans
AlUla is a true gem in the Saudi desert and a must-visit for anyone eager to experience the country's history and nature up close. Travelers here are greeted by a breathtaking desert landscape, shaped by surreal sandstone formations, ancient cultures, and an enchanting silence. The highlight: Hegra (Madain Salih), Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site and the lesser-known counterpart to Petra in Jordan—without the crowds. Over 100 intricately carved tombs from the 1st century BC are etched into the rust-colored cliffs, telling the story of the Nabataean civilization at its peak.
But AlUla offers even more: a historic old town with mudbrick houses, the striking Elephant Rock, and the impressive Maraya concert hall, the world’s largest mirrored building. To truly experience Saudi Arabia, AlUla is an absolute must.
Riyadh – The Beating Heart of Saudi Arabia
Riyadh is the modern face of Saudi Arabia—a city where the future meets deep-rooted traditions. Often seen as a bustling financial hub, those who look closer will discover a metropolis rich in history, culture, and striking contrasts.
A must-visit is Masmak Fortress, the site where the Kingdom’s foundation began. Its massive mudbrick walls tell the story of a time when Saudi Arabia was still a collection of rival tribes. Just a few steps away, Souq Al-Zal immerses visitors in a world of fragrant spices, intricate carpets, and delicate gold craftsmanship.
And then there’s the other Riyadh: a skyline of glass and steel, home to iconic landmarks like the Kingdom Centre, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the city. To truly understand Saudi Arabia, one must experience Riyadh—it is the gateway to both its past and its future.
Jeddah – The Gateway to the Red Sea
Jeddah is different. More cosmopolitan, more open, with a unique energy all its own. Wandering through the narrow alleys of Al-Balad, the city’s historic old town, you immediately sense the deep-rooted trade history that has shaped this place for centuries. The traditional Roshan houses, built from coral stone and adorned with intricately carved wooden balconies, are a striking testament to the past.
But Jeddah is not just about history—it’s also the modern face of Saudi Arabia at its most vibrant. The legendary Corniche stretches over 30 kilometers along the coast, lined with art installations, luxury cafés, and the best view of the iconic King Fahd Fountain, the world’s tallest water fountain at 312 meters. And then there’s the Red Sea, home to an extraordinary underwater world of coral reefs that even the most experienced divers find breathtaking.
Rub' al Khali – The Largest Sand Desert in the World
There are deserts—and then there is the Rub' al Khali, the "Empty Quarter." Those who venture here quickly understand why this vast expanse holds an almost mythical status in ancient caravan tales. Endless golden dunes, some towering over 250 meters high, stretch to the horizon, with only the whisper of the wind breaking the silence. Nowhere else in Saudi Arabia evokes such an overwhelming sense of solitude and infinity.
A true highlight: spending a night in a desert camp. As the sun sets, painting the sand in deep red hues, one of the most spectacular night skies on Earth unfolds above. For adventurers, an off-road expedition with expert guides offers a thrilling way to explore this remote wilderness, or you can follow the ancient paths of the Incense Route, retracing the footsteps of traders who once crossed this legendary desert.
The Asir Mountains – Saudi Arabia’s Green Surprise
Saudi Arabia is all desert? Not everywhere. The Asir Mountains in the southwest of the country defy every expectation you might have of the region. At over 3,000 meters in elevation, the temperatures are refreshingly mild, mist drifts through the valleys, and the landscape is unexpectedly lush and green.
A true highlight for nature lovers and hikers: Jabal Sawda, the highest peak in Saudi Arabia, offers breathtaking panoramic views. In the mountain villages surrounding Abha and Rijal Almaa, traditional mudbrick houses with colorful facades add to the region’s charm. But the Asir Mountains are more than just a scenic backdrop—they are home to the last wild baboon populations in the country and countless rare bird species.
For those eager to discover a completely different side of Saudi Arabia, this is the place to go—ideally with enough time to soak in the untouched nature and authentic mountain life.
The Flavors of Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s cuisine is as diverse as its landscapes—ranging from hearty rice dishes to exquisite date-based specialties. A must-try classic: Kabsa, the national dish of Saudi Arabia. This fragrant rice dish, prepared with lamb or chicken and infused with cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves, is a true feast for the senses. For an even more authentic experience, Mandi is a must—meat slow-cooked in underground clay ovens, creating a uniquely tender and flavorful dish.
Wandering through local markets, you’ll catch the aroma of freshly baked Tamis bread, often served with Jareesh, a traditional wheat dish with yogurt. And for a sweet finish? Saudi Arabian dates paired with Qahwa, the signature spiced Arabic coffee. To truly understand Saudi Arabia, one must also taste it—because here, food is far more than just a meal; it’s a deeply rooted expression of hospitality and tradition.
