Travel Map

Day 1: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Arrive in Riyadh, original homeland of the ruling Al Saud family and now the nation’s capital city, where you are met and privately transferred to your hotel. Once a walled way station along desert trading routes, Riyadh is one of the wealthiest cities in the world, a modern metropolis undergoing rapid change.

Day 2: Riyadh

Start your day at Masmak Fortress, from which King Abdulaziz conquered and united the regions that comprise the nation today. Afterward, stroll through Dirah Souk, a market renowned for colorful textiles, from silk to luxurious pashminas, before exploring the National...

Day 3: AlUla

Fly northwest into the vast Arabian Desert to AlUla, where on arrival you are met and transferred to your accommodations. Nestled in a large, spectacular valley, where date palm groves line the banks of a wadi (dry riverbed) and foreboding red sandstone cliffs rise up...

Day 4: AlUla

Start the day with a visit to Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site only open to the public since 2020 that features an abundance of relics and rock-cut tombs, including a towering carved façade that signals its Nabatean connection to Petra in Jordan. Discover the Nabat...

Day 5: AlUla

Continue to explore the cultural and natural treasures of AlUla. Begin with a visit to Jabal Ikmah, situated in a stunning desert canyon. This “open-air library” has an impressive collection of inscriptions carved into its stone cliffsides, mostly dating to the first ...

Day 6: Jeddah

Today, fly to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's commercial capital and the main gateway to Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. A historic crossroads of pilgrims and traders, Jeddah is the most fascinating of Saudi Arabia's major cities, with a cosmopolitan and liberal air not foun...

Devote your day to the exploration of this historic city, starting in Al-Balad, Jeddah's old quarter, a bastion of traditional architecture. Visit some of the old Ottoman houses, constructed from coral and reinforced with wooden beams, including the beautiful Nasif Ho...

Day 8: Jeddah
