About the trip

This escorted tour with Explore Worldwide traces Saudi Arabia’s changing face through deserts, mountains and Red Sea coastlines. The trip begins in Riyadh, where 18th-century mud-brick Diriyah and modern skyscrapers offer stark contrasts within a city that holds the kingdom’s foundations.

The route takes in the bustling camel markets near Buraidah and the Neolithic rock carvings around Jubbah, before spending two full days in AlUla. Here, the Nabatean tombs at Hegra recall Petra’s grandeur, with archaeologists still peeling back layers of sand to reveal more. A brief stop at the Maraya Theatre—its mirrored panels reflecting the desert—is a welcome break from ancient history.

Later, the itinerary turns west to Medina’s Islamic heritage and on to Jeddah, where the largest fish market and the Red Sea corniche keep things lively. The schedule asks for patience with long drives and early starts, but the variety of landscapes and cultures encountered on this small-group tour make up for it.

The route in outline: places are joined in the order visited, not by the roads or sea lanes taken.
