The regions
Saudi Arabia opened to leisure travelers only in 2019, and its highlights are far apart, so a well-planned route matters. We arrange the domestic flights, private guides and desert camps, and time your visit for the cooler months.
A desert valley of sandstone canyons and rock formations such as Elephant Rock, with a restored mud-brick old town and resorts set among the cliffs.
Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, with more than a hundred monumental tombs carved by the Nabataeans, the builders of Petra.
The capital, with the National Museum, the Kingdom Centre skybridge and day trips to the cliffs known as the Edge of the World.
The birthplace of the Saudi state on the edge of Riyadh, where the mud-brick At-Turaif district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A Red Sea port city with a long seaside corniche and Al-Balad, a historic quarter of coral-stone houses and wooden balconies.
Ancient tombs, desert canyons and a coast few travelers have seen.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Desert camps, sunset drives through the dunes and evenings under the stars with a private guide.
Coral reefs, island resorts and diving along a coastline that is only now opening to visitors.
Maraya, the mirrored concert hall of AlUla, along with seasonal festivals, galleries and museums.
Natural arches, canyons and ancient rock art, explored by four-wheel drive, on foot or from a hot-air balloon.

Timing
October to March is the best time to visit Saudi Arabia, when days are warm and evenings are cool. Summer is very hot across most of the country, especially in Riyadh and AlUla.
Warm days, desert wildflowers after the rains and the end of the main touring season.
Intense heat inland, best suited to the Red Sea coast and resort stays.
Temperatures ease, and AlUla’s season of festivals and events begins.
The most comfortable weather for desert touring, old towns and outdoor dining.
Questions
U.S. citizens can usually apply for a tourist eVisa online before travel. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.
October to March is best, with warm days and cool evenings. Summer temperatures are very high inland, so we plan summer trips around the Red Sea coast.
Nonstop flights from New York to Riyadh or Jeddah take about twelve hours. We arrange the domestic flights to AlUla and between the cities.
Seven to ten days allows time for Riyadh and Diriyah, three or four nights in AlUla and a stay in Jeddah or on the Red Sea.
Visitors are asked to dress modestly in public, with shoulders and knees covered. Women visitors are not required to wear an abaya or cover their hair, except when visiting a mosque.
It suits travelers who have already seen the region’s best-known places and want something new. Many clients combine it with Dubai, Jordan or Abu Dhabi.
