7-Nights Classic Saudi Arabia

Goway Travel

Your 8-day trip to Saudi Arabia begins in Riyadh, the nation’s capital and one of the wealthiest cities in the world. Discover its hypermodern infrastructure on a city tour. Enjoy a glimpse into the future at The Line Experience, which details the ambitious urban development project of NEOM, before you venture into the past in the traditional Diriyah area, Al Masmak Fortress, and the National Museum. Journey north to the desert oasis of AlUla, once a waystation for caravan routes and now the gateway to the nearby natural and historic landmarks in the desert. End the day at Elephant Rock, which looks like its namesake when the sun sets, before rising the next day to explore the ancient Nabataean settlement of Hegra. Carved into the rock and built by the same civilization that made Petra, Hegra is inarguably one of the most impressive monuments in the Middle East.

Spend another day exploring the desert Bedouin-style before connecting south to the holy city of Madinah, the second-holiest city in Islam and site of the first mosque. Learn about its artistic and cultural heritage before continuing by high-speed train to Jeddah on the Red Sea. Cap off your trip in this liberal port city, where you will enjoy some of the best seafood in the region and tour the old town of Al Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Featured Destinations

AlUla
Jeddah Jeddah Although it's definitely a modern metropolis, Jeddah is also the most interesting and friendly of Saudi Arabia's big cities. Jeddah is centered on Al-Balad, the strip of buildings along its coast road and the old city directly behind them. Jeddah has some great museums, including the Municipality Museum. Located in a 200-year-old restored house built from Red Sea coral, the museum has interesting photos of the development of Jeddah, along with rooms done up in traditional style. The Museum of Abdel Raouf Hasan Khalil houses 10,000 items in 4 mock-Arab buildings. The museum is a mish-mash of kitsch exhibits, but there are a few gems among the flotsam. The Jeddah Museum is the regional museum of archaeology and ethnography. Jeddah has one of the best markets in the kingdom, the spectacular Souk Al-Alawi, which winds its way through the old city and is still a great place to spend hours strolling and browsing. Jeddah's 3 reconstructed old city gates are also worth a look, as are several good examples of traditional Jeddah architecture found around North City Gate.	Destination Guide
Riyadh Riyadh Once a small desert oasis, this capital city is modern, yet it blends in well with the surrounding desert. Riyadh, which means "the gardens," is a fairly compact city, and most parts of it can be seen on foot except during the blast-furnace heat of the summer. Allow a day to see Riyadh and another day or two for outlying destinations.	Destination Guide
