Saudi Arabia - Oasis Highlights

There are so many highlights in this fascinating country that it is impossible to list them all here. Our travel consultants will discuss your interests and be able to put a specific itinerary together for you, but below are a few must seeā€™s!

HEJAZ RAILWAY

With several of its unused stations now developed into popular tourist attractions, the Hejaz railway was initially a narrow-gauge line running from Damascus to Medina, through the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia.Ā The original goal was to extend the line to the holy city of Makkah, making this railway part of the Ottoman railway network. Unfortunately, construction was interrupted due to the outbreak of World War I, and after nine years in use, it fell into disrepair.

 

JEDDAH

Jeddah, known as the Bride of the Red Sea, is a city that never sleeps. Here visitors enjoy beautiful beaches and traditional markets characterised by the habits, folklore and time-honoured dishes of Jeddah’s people. Dive the Red Sea on unforgettable cruises, and explore archeological sites, culture-rich festivals and modern shopping malls.

 

RIYADH

Riyadh is a city where the history of Saudi Arabia and the ancient heritage of Najd unite, and the capital city of Saudi Arabia, where the centre of government combines the first destination for business. Explore the gardens and natural oases surrounding the city amid the desert, mountains and plains of Tuwaiq.
