Description

EXPLORE SAUDI ARABIA IN 2024 with this comphrensive travel guide, for independent travel in Jeddah, Riyadh and beyond.
Reach beyond the sterotypes of this fascinating kingdom’s ancient settlements and modern marvels, where rich heritage intertwines with audacious progress.
On the Red Sea coast, Al Balad, Jeddah‘s historic heart, with its labyrinthine alleys and colourful bazaars is a focus of the guide. Unveil the charms of AlUla, where time-worn sandstone canyons cradle the UNESCO-treasured Hegra, its Nabataean tombs whispering forgotten tales.

Discover Dumat Al Jandal, in Saudi Arabia’s far north where archaeological gems shimmer beneath the desert sun. In Saudi Arabia’s far east ITHRA, the impressive modern cultural centre is included in this guide book, along with the historic AlAhsa oasis area.
High in the southwest Asir mountains Abha, as well as the stunning village of Rijal Al Maa, has a comprehensive section which includes Abha’s cable car. Further south is the legendary town of Najran. In this guide its history and current attractions are included along with some of Najran’s hotels and restaurants. The rugged splendour of Wadi Al Disah and Wadi Lajab, two dramatic canyons are at the opposite end of the Hijaz Mountains – this guide includes them along with practical hints to get the most out of a visit.

This guide, enriched with photographs, and simple diagram maps and diverse accommodation options – helps simplify planning. Local restaurant recommendations are a focus, and they offer authentic flavours and ambience.
