Itinerary

Unveil the many faces of Saudi Arabia on this 14-day tour from Riyadh to Jeddah, crafted for travelers who relish history, culture, and off-the-beaten-path experiences. This moderate-activity journey reveals a land where ancient trade routes, prehistoric rock art, and bustling souks coexist with mountain hideaways and Red Sea charm.

Marvel at AlUla’s Nabatean ruins, second only to Petra, and navigate the winding roads of Al Bahah, home to cave dwellings and hidden villages. In Jeddah, lose yourself in the UNESCO-listed old town and take a boat ride along Yanbu’s coast. Along the way, witness chaotic camel markets and savor the region’s diverse cuisine.

The trip’s unique selling point lies in its rare access to a country just opening up to tourism, offering a blend of deep history and vibrant modernity that’s hard to find elsewhere. For seasoned explorers, this tour package promises stories and sights few have seen.
