📍Al Ula, Saudi Arabia
The furthest travel I did while living saudi arabia. It’s a 12 hrs land travel from Riyadh, which is the capital of KSA. It was a Joiner Tour made for kabayans who wants to travel al ula and other provinces of saudi. It was my first time to join group tour by myself. The good thing was I made new friends which I didn’t expect. :p

Back in early 2021, I went on a road trip from Riyadh to Al Ula.
Al Ula is easily one of the crown jewels of Saudi tourism and even then it was clearly something special. At the time, it was possible to drive up all the way to Elephant Rock and if you wanted to have a snack or coffee there, you needed to pack your own picnic.
Now days Elephant Rock is still accessible to the public and there are coffee kiosks and places to sit and enjoy the view.
The tombs of Hegra or Mad'in Salih are incredible. Carved from the top down of large rock formations scattered across the wind-swept prarie, they blend in beautifully with the natural landscape while also pointing to a vibrant and intricate network of Nabataean peoples during a pre-islamic time period.
The only way to visit Hegra is on a guided tour booked through the Experience Al Ula website.

7 Things to Do in Saudi Arabia
Speak about desert destinations, and your mind will immediately wander to the Middle East. While UAE clinches the top spot for desert adventures and opulence leisure, it can weigh heavily on your wallet as many attractions are expensive. There is a cheaper option to enjoy the beauty of desert sceneries and Arabic heritage sprinkled with modern, innovative cities, beautiful coastlines, cultural landmarks, and even an island! That place is Saudi Arabia. Fresh on the tourism scene with accelerated and promising growth, this Middle Eastern destination offers an eclectic collection of leisure experiences sans the crowd of tourists. It is also one of the cheapest countries to visit from Dubai if you reside in the emirate and are looking for a short escape. Intrigued? Then check out these top 7 things to do in Saudi Arabia on a leisure holiday. 
Explore Al Ula’s Surreal Sceneries
Tumblr media
Gear up for an otherworldly experience at Al Ula, where you will visit Hegra and Jabal Ikhmah. These regions are home to unique rock formations set against the stellar auburn desert landscape. Don’t miss to shop at Old Town and  Al Jadidah village where you can catch glimpses into the region's rich history, relax in charming coffee shops, savour Arabian cuisine, and browse shops filled with Arabic murals, carpets, and more. Explore the Oasis Trail for a refreshing change of scenery. Sign up for a star gazing tour and journey far away from city lights into the dark expanses of Al Ghalameel at night to enjoy the most mesmerizing vista of iridescent starry skies you have ever come across on your trip.
Experience Luxury and Water Sports at Red Sea
Tumblr media
Saudi Arabia isn't all about arid desert regions. The country is flanked by the Red Sea on the west, blessing it with a vast stretch of stunning coastline. For tourists, this coastline offers pristine, sun-kissed beaches dotted with luxurious resorts perfect for indulgent staycations. Get adventurous and go Island hopping to untouched isles in the Red Sea, try kite surfing, kayak over the crystal-clear waters, or dive deep into scuba diving adventures to explore the vibrant coral reefs and colourful marine life in the underwater realm of the Red Sea.
Discover the City Life of Jeddah
Tumblr media
Before heading to Red Sea experiences, pause at Jeddah - a vibrant port city teeming with scenic, modern, and cultural experiences. Explore the old-world charm of UNESCO World Heritage Site - Al-Badad District, where you can wander through narrow streets and glimpse Jeddah's humble past. Visit the  Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum to discover fascinating exhibits on Saudi Arabian history and culture, which is one of the most popular things to do in Jeddah. Wind up your day with a relaxing stroll at Jeddah Corniche, enjoying the stunning sunset views and cool evening breeze. 
Spend a Day at Taif
Tumblr media
Taif is another gem of a place in Saudi Arabia, blending nature, culture, adventure, and historical sights together. Visit historical landmarks such as Shubra Palace and Al Shareef Museum to gain insight into the city’s cultural past. Taif is also known as ‘The City of Roses’ as this western region of Saudi Arabia is blessed with a temperate climate ideal for the blossoming of roses from April to June. The Hijazi City is quite famous for its rose farms - a splendid spectacle to behold as the landscape gets sheathed in fragrant blooms as far as the eye can see! Don’t miss a visit to the Al Hada mountains, where you can explore breathtaking terrains through invigorating hikes.
Explore the Historical Heritage of Riyadh
Tumblr media
The capital city of Saudi Arabia - Riyadh, has a cultural heritage woven intricately with dynamic, future-enriched structures. When you view the city, you find scenery of monotonous low-rise structures disrupted contrastingly with glistening glass-and-steel skyscrapers. A city tour of Riyadh is a must-do activity for first-time visitors. An excursion from the city limits lets you explore the historical Masmal fortress, colossal Murabba Palace, and UNESCO Heritage Sites - Diriyah and Al Turaif. If you have the courage, head to the edge of the world - a cliff overlooking a steep valley at the Al-Khobar road, which is one of the most photographed spots in Saudi Arabia.
Enjoy a Desert Safari Experience
We all know that some of the famous desert safari destinations in the world are located in Middle Eastern countries, and Saudi Arabia is one of them. Dedicate a day to explore the gorgeous red dunes of Riyadh or Jeddah where you can enjoy dune bashing sessions, camel rides,quadbiking, sandboarding and more. Choose your preferred time of the day for the desert experience: morning safaris with hot air ballooning, evening tours featuring breathtaking sunsets, or overnight stays in Bedouin-style tents with BBQ dinners and stargazing opportunities.
Go Island hopping at Umluj
Escape to the paradisical Umluj islands, nestled off the western coast of the Red Sea. Often called the Maldives of the Middle East, Umluj offers a string of idyllic isles and crystal-clear lagoons. Bask in the gentle breezes as you relax on pristine white sand beaches beneath a canopy of azure skies. It's the perfect setting for an unforgettable island escape.
Conclusion
To sum it up, Saudi Arabia is far more than a desert destination. Within this country, you get a unique medley of culture, nature, and adventure experiences. Be it a city experience, an idyllic island or beach retreat, or a desert camp under the canopy of millions of twinkling stars, Saudi Arabia has got it all!

L'ancienne ville d'Hégra Le voyage à travers Al Ula est incomplet sans explorer Hegra (également connue sous le nom de Mada'in Saleh), le premier site d'Arabie saoudite inscrit au patrimoine mondial de. Autrefois ville prospère du royaume nabatéen, les tombeaux bien conservés d'Hégra, aux façades élaborées taillées directement dans les montagnes de grès, racontent des histoires d'une époque révolue. En vous promenant dans cette ville ancienne, vous rencontrerez plus de 100 tombeaux, chacun portant des inscriptions et des dessins uniques, offrant un témoignage silencieux du génie architectural et de la richesse culturelle des Nabatéens.
Vieille ville d'Al-Ula Une visite de la vieille ville d'Al Ula, un labyrinthe de maisons en briques crues datant du XIIe siècle, offre un aperçu de la vie traditionnelle de la région. Cette ville historique était autrefois un centre commercial et agricole animé, stratégiquement située sur la route de l'encens. Aujourd'hui, se promener dans ses rues désertes, au milieu d'anciennes maisons et mosquées, c'est comme entrer dans un musée vivant, où chaque recoin recèle une histoire à découvrir.

Des efforts sont en cours pour garantir que l’afflux de visiteurs ne perturbe pas l’équilibre délicat de cette terre ancienne. Les initiatives comprennent la limitation du nombre de visiteurs sur les sites archéologiques, la promotion de pratiques respectueuses de l'environnement et l'engagement de la communauté locale dans les efforts de préservation.

Saudi Arabia - Al Ula Area - Ancient Dadan
In the first millennium BC Dadan was one of the principal kingdoms in Arabia. Their wealth and prominence were largely due to the trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices. Their city of Dadan was in the oasis valley of Al Ula with plentiful water and agriculture.
The ruins of Dadan are just now being excavated, so little is visible to tourists. But the Saudis have an excellent system for showing what's there.
We started at the visitor's center. This has artifacts from the ruins large images, and videos. There is a welcome station with Arabic coffee and tea, water, and dried fruits, plus a sitting are which would be great for longer explanations.
Tumblr media
This image shows the lions above a tomb high on the rock walls that is hard to see by eye, or photograph by cell phone.
Tumblr media
Then the artifacts.
Tumblr media
Dadan had a unique written language that can be read by scholars. It is one of several in ancient Arabia.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The large statue above was from a temple. Since the god of Dadan had no images, they think these statues were of worshipers demonstrating their belief.
There were persons there to explain all the exhibits.
Tumblr media
Then we went outside to see the tombs on the walls.
Tumblr media
That's pretty hard to see. A little zoom on the phone and I could see this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can just make out the two lions above the tomb just left of the center.
There were powerful binoculars mounted on tripods and I experimented with my phone through the binoculars and could get this image. Not great, but better than I expected.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The image from the display in the museum is still better, but it was an interesting experiment.
The nearby ruins of the city of Dadan are still an active archeological site, so we could not wander around there, but could only see them at a distance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I noted that the city was build above the agricultural plain, so not taking valuable agricultural lands and protected from flooding.
This is another area with massive date farms.
Tumblr media
Then we went to Jabal Ikman a site where the rock walls are covered in inscriptions, mostly in Arabic, but also Dadan and others.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The range of languages over the years is a great resource for studying the development of the Arabic language.
Then we went into the modern city of Al Ula, which is being developed as a center for tourism in the area. We had lunch in a cafe out in the date groves, The Pink Camel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then we visited the old town of Al Ula. Much of the old town was destroyed in a flood and are just ruins of stone and mud brick buildings. But the main street and surrounding area are rebuilt and have shops and restaurants. They also do a tour of a restored section of the residential area.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saudis shop and go out in the evening since for much of the year it's too hot during the day. So shops were just opening as we were leaving.
Tumblr media
That evening we went out to Elephant Rock for sundown, a popular location with locals and Saudi tourists.

What It’s Like to be a Female Tour Guide in Saudi Arabia
Tumblr media
Fatimah Al Zimam likes to walk around in black leggings and casual tops, and she wears her curly hair loose and uncovered. She owns a silver GMC pickup truck, which she loves to take on solo drives across the Saudi desert. And she is passionate about her work: As a tour guide, she has introduced her country to visitors from the United States, France, Britain, Italy, China and beyond.Ms. Al Zimam, 34, is a Saudi woman and she works for herself. She represents a profound transformation that’s underway in her home country, which has long been known as a deeply conservative place. Saudi Arabia’s opening to nonreligious tourists in 2019 is a major part of the ongoing shift, as are several important gains that women have been granted over the past half decade, though some restrictions remain.But even with the recent changes, the country has continued to come under fire for its record on human rights, which may raise concerns among potential visitors. One travel index has ranked Saudi Arabia second-to-last in the world in terms of safety for L.G.B.T.Q. travelers.But Saudi Arabia is betting big that tourists will come: The government is investing $1 trillion in the industry over 10 years, with the aim of attracting 100 million visitors annually by 2030. It’s all part of an effort to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.“If there is no oil, we don’t have anything. So now there are a lot of projects to promote agriculture, solar energy production — and tourism, too,” Ms. Al Zimam said.I first met Ms. Al Zimam on a recent solo trip to Saudi Arabia, when I hired her as my tour guide in Riyadh, the capital, and spent a day riding shotgun in her pickup truck. A few weeks later, I reached her on a video call at her apartment in Jeddah, on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. She was eager to tell me about her favorite places to take first-time visitors, and how Saudi men react when they see her without a long robe, or abaya.Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.What kind of reactions have you seen among Saudis since the country started issuing standard tourist visas?The vast majority of people in Saudi Arabia are very generous with tourists. I’ve seen this even in remote villages, where people tend to be very religious — they’re really helping tourists, especially hitchhikers and cyclists who sometimes just appear out of nowhere.And look at a place like Al Ula, in the northwest, where you see so many tourists now. At first, some local people might have been skeptical about the crowds, the noise, the visitors. But then they started to see the jobs, the money, the extra work that they could find through tourism — they became aware of the opportunities. Now, they are very happy with tourism.The government has been spending a lot of money to turn the ancient city of Al Ula into a tourist destination. Is that a place that you would recommend to visitors?Al Ula is the best destination in the world for me. The Royal Commission has done a great job of developing the sites around there, and they’re still doing excavations, finding new things. Visitors love the ancient tombs in Mada’in Saleh, which is nearby. There’s so much else. Al Ula is full of rock inscriptions. Wherever you walk, you can find them.And I love to bring people to Hail, also in the north. Hail is a historic area — Lawrence of Arabia spent a lot of time there — and the landscape is stunning. The sand dunes, the red mountains, and just the beautiful shapes of the rocks and rock inscriptions. You can be driving and driving, then suddenly you come across a small oasis, a cluster of palms between the mountains.Are there many other women tour guides in Saudi Arabia?There are many, many female tour guides, and even more in training. In the class that I took to become a licensed guide, there were twice as many women as men, and I think that’s pretty common.A lot of potential female visitors might have questions about how to dress in Saudi Arabia. I know you don’t wear a head scarf or an abaya. Did you stop doing that as soon as the rule changed a few years ago?It was gradual for me. At first, I would still wear an abaya and hijab in the city, but not if I was out in the desert or in the mountains. But then I moved to Riyadh for work and I found myself more comfortable and happier without an abaya, as long as I was still dressed modestly. Now, I don’t wear an abaya or hijab. The only exceptions are if I’m going somewhere official — the courthouse or a police station — or if I’m going to a mosque. If I’m going to pray, I need a scarf.Some people might stare because it’s still kind of a new thing to see, but they respect my choice. I once had an Uber driver in Al Jouf who told me: “Look at me, with my beard and my mustache. I’m a man, but I married the woman my mother chose for me. But look at you, without an abaya: You’re a woman, and you made your choice. You’re braver than me.”What do you advise women visitors in terms of how to dress?Some Saudis will recommend that women visitors wear a scarf. But why? It’s OK not to. In rural areas, they might stare at you, but I find that, even there, most people are welcoming. And the people who aren’t welcoming won’t say anything because there is no longer a rule about it. I always feel safe, even though I travel alone and without an abaya. Come and I’ll take you to the Red Sea, and you’ll see — there, you can wear a bikini. The only exception is if you visit a mosque. There, it’s mandatory to cover your legs, and for women to wear long sleeves and a scarf.What do you like to do when you’re not guiding tours?I love traveling around Saudi Arabia, and I did it even before I started working as a tour guide. I’ve also been a rock climber since 2019, and I love going to Tanomah, which is where I first learned to climb.I know it wasn’t that long ago that Saudi women were granted the right to drive. What do people think when they see you behind the wheel of your truck?I must admit that I do love the reactions of people seeing me driving. Sometimes in rural places, people follow me, just because they’re curious. “Is this really a woman? Is it not just a man with curly hair?” But then they see I’m a woman and they call me, “My daughter! My daughter!” And they ask if I’m a tourist.Have you ever traveled outside your home country?I’ve traveled around the Gulf and to Jordan, but my first time outside the Middle East was last year, when I went to the U.K. and then to Switzerland with the Ministry of Tourism. On that trip, we spent one week at a tourism school in Montreux. The ministry sent thousands of people to the best tourism schools in Europe. I was in the last group.What’s your next gig?Summer is the low season for tourists here. So I’m working on my book, which is both a memoir and a travel guide to Saudi Arabia. I’m planning to publish travel secrets about places around the country. I have it all in my head, and now I will write it down.Follow New York Times Travel on Instagram and sign up for our weekly Travel Dispatch newsletter to get expert tips on traveling smarter and inspiration for your next vacation.

À la découverte de la riche tapisserie d'Arabie Saoudite : une visite guidée
L'Arabie Saoudite est une terre d'une beauté captivante et d'une histoire enchanteresse, et quelle meilleure façon d'explorer ce royaume fascinant qu'à travers une visite touristique méticuleusement planifiée ? Berceau de l’Islam et abritant de nombreuses merveilles naturelles et trésors culturels, l’Arabie saoudite offre une incroyable gamme de sites et d’expériences aux voyageurs cherchant à s’immerger au cœur de la péninsule arabique.
Le joyau du désert Riyad : une oasis moderne Votre voyage à travers l'Arabie Saoudite pourrait commencer à Riyad, la capitale du pays et une métropole moderne qui allie à merveille tradition et innovation. Commencez votre visite touristique par une visite de l'emblématique tour Kingdom Center, qui offre une vue panoramique sur la ville et les paysages désertiques environnants. Ensuite, plongez dans le riche patrimoine de la région au Musée national et au palais Murabba.
Djeddah : la porte d'entrée de la Mecque Djeddah, surnommée la « Mariée de la mer Rouge », est une ville côtière animée qui constitue la principale porte d'entrée vers La Mecque pour les pèlerins. Pendant votre séjour à Djeddah, n'oubliez pas d'explorer le quartier historique d'Al-Balad, un site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, où vous découvrirez une charmante architecture traditionnelle et des marchés animés. La fontaine du roi Fahd, l'une des plus hautes fontaines du monde, orne le front de mer de la ville, créant une toile de fond époustouflante pour votre expérience touristique.
Merveilles naturelles
La Mer Rouge : Paradis de la plongée L'Arabie saoudite bénéficie d'un littoral le long de la mer Rouge, réputé pour ses récifs coralliens vibrants et sa vie marine. Envisagez un arrêt dans la ville côtière de Yanbu ou d'Al-Lith, où vous pourrez vous adonner à la plongée en apnée ou à la plongée sous-marine et explorer le monde sous-marin à couper le souffle de la mer Rouge. Les plages immaculées et les eaux cristallines sont une véritable merveille naturelle.
Bout du monde : des paysages à couper le souffle Pour une aventure unique, embarquez pour un voyage au « Bord du monde », une falaise spectaculaire située juste à l'extérieur de Riyad. Cette merveille naturelle à couper le souffle offre des vues spectaculaires sur l'étendue infinie du désert et est parfaite pour la randonnée, la photographie ou simplement pour profiter de la tranquillité du désert.
Trésors culturels
Sites UNESCO : patrimoine historique L'Arabie saoudite possède plusieurs sites classés au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, tels que les merveilles archéologiques d'Al-Hijr (Madain Salih) et l'art rupestre de la région de Hail. Ces sites donnent un aperçu de la riche histoire du royaume, notamment de l'ancienne civilisation nabatéenne et des pétroglyphes préhistoriques.
Al-Ula : voyage dans le temps à travers l'histoire Al-Ula est un trésor de merveilles archéologiques et historiques. Explorez les magnifiques tombeaux creusés dans les falaises rose-rouge de Madain Saleh, souvent surnommées la « Deuxième Pétra ». Promenez-vous dans la vieille ville d'Al-Ula et imprégnez-vous de l'atmosphère de cette ancienne oasis du désert.
Le chemin le moins parcouru
Quartier vide : le Rub' al Khali Pour le voyageur intrépide, le Rub' al Khali, ou Quartier Vide, est un vaste désert qui s'étend sur plusieurs pays, dont l'Arabie Saoudite. C'est l'un des terrains les plus difficiles au monde, mais sa beauté austère et sa solitude offrent une expérience unique. Rejoignez des expéditions guidées ou faites un voyage autoguidé pour explorer l'immensité du désert.
Province d'Asir : le joyau vert Dans la région sud-ouest de l'Arabie saoudite, la province d'Asir est connue pour ses champs luxuriants en terrasses et ses charmants villages de montagne. Le parc national d'Asir est un endroit idéal pour faire de la randonnée, observer les oiseaux et profiter d'un climat plus frais que le reste du pays.

Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky confirmada por JBXE para la temporada 2021 de la Extreme E y se completa la grilla para la primera fecha
La piloto sueca Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky será la contraparte femenina a Jenson Button en el nuevo equipo JBXE, propiedad del campeón del mundo de Fórmula 1 de 2009, en la Extreme E 2021. Con esto, la grilla de 18 pilotos ha quedado conformada para la primera fecha en Al-Ula, Arabia Saudita. 
La piloto con experiencia en la  Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC), donde fue la primera mujer en ganar una carrera en 2018 además de otras series GT y turismo europeas como la ADAC GT Masters, la Audi TT Cup y la Scirocco R-Cup, se desempeñó como probadora de los compuestos de neumáticos Continental para la Extreme E durante casi los últimos dos años, lo que lo hace una de las pilotos con mayor experiencia en el SUV Odyssey 21 de la categoría eléctrica.
“Estoy encantada de unirme al equipo de JBXE junto a Jenson Button, se siente como un sueño hecho realidad” comentó Åhlin-Kottulinsky.  “No solamente podré competir con un compañero de equipo tan fantástico, sino que ambos creemos realmente en la plataforma de la serie. Extreme E es más que un deporte de motor común y corriente, es un deporte con un propósito que podemos utilizar para exhibir vehículos eléctricos y motivar a las personas a reconsiderar sus puntos de vista sobre las consecuencias del cambio climático. Si podemos hacer que esta serie de carreras sea emocionante, innovadora e interesante de seguir, aumentará la voluntad de realizar cambios grandes y pequeños, en beneficio de nuestro mundo y de todos los habitantes del planeta”.
“Estoy encantado de darle la bienvenida a Mikaela a JBXE y de tenerla como mi compañera de equipo. Ella trae consigo una experiencia fantástica detrás del volante y su trabajo con Continental y Extreme E hasta este punto demuestra claramente lo valiosa que será para el equipo” agregó el fundador y piloto del equipo JBXE, Jenson Button. "En Mikaela tampoco tengo ninguna duda de que tenemos una embajadora increíblemente valiosa para representar a JBXE, y Extreme E en su conjunto, en la lucha para crear conciencia sobre el cambio climático y ayudar a implementar los proyectos del Programa Extreme E Legacy”.
