The trip to Saudi Arabia was amazing. It was a full packed trip with a variety of experiences. There were so many highlights for me - The Prophet's Mosque, Hegra, Yanbu (boat ride and snorkeling), the Camel Market and seeing so many camels along the way, just to mention a few. Our tour leader, Daniel was incredible! He was very organized, knowledgeable, thoughtful and created an enjoyable and informative experience for everyone. The local tour guides were also great and answered so many questions. I was impressed by how welcoming and friendly the Saudi people were to us. It was a memorable and eye opening experience that I will treasure.
