Saudi Arabia Makkah

Discover the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a land rich with diversity, heritage, culture and nature. You can experience the history of the world as you visit the archaeological and ancient sites across all provinces and learn about the most important civilisations that have carved the history of the regions. Explore the home of the Arab culture in the capital city of Riyadh, the centre of the Kingdom, set amidst the Tuwaig escarpment.

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s second largest metropolis on the Red Sea, is considered the most cosmopolitan city in the Kingdom due in part to a millennia of welcoming millions of pilgrims from all over the world. Many visitors arrive here with the intention of making the Hajj pilgrimage or Umrah visit to Makkah and Madinah, the two sacred cities of Islam which are just a few hours inland from Jeddah. Non-Muslims are prohibited from visiting these Holy sites and therefore most business visitors to Jeddah remain on the Red Sea coast.
