Step into a new perspective on Saudi Arabia with the October Edition of Gateway to Saudi. Discover the places, people, traditions, and experiences shaping the Kingdom today, from the ancient landscapes of AlUla and the energy of Riyadh to the shores of the Red Sea, the cultural character of Jeddah, and the spiritual significance of Makkah and Madinah.
We begin in AlUla, where ancient heritage and dramatic natural landscapes create an extraordinary setting for discovery. Explore remarkable archaeological sites, centuries-old stories, immersive cultural experiences, and breathtaking desert scenery as AlUla brings Saudi Arabia's past to life in a destination unlike any other.
From AlUla, we travel to Riyadh, the Kingdom's dynamic capital, where historic roots meet a bold contemporary identity. Discover the heritage of Diriyah, cultural landmarks, creative spaces, exceptional dining, entertainment, and an exciting calendar of events that showcases the capital's vibrant energy and evolving character.
Beyond the capital, the Red Sea offers a spectacular coastal escape shaped by pristine waters, remarkable marine life, untouched landscapes, and extraordinary island experiences. From diving and water-based adventures to wellness, nature, and luxury stays, the destination invites travellers to experience the Kingdom's coastline in unforgettable ways.
Our journey continues in Jeddah, where the historic character of Al-Balad meets the energy of the Corniche and the city's thriving contemporary scene. Discover Hijazi heritage, distinctive architecture, art, culture, diverse cuisine, and coastal experiences in a city where history and modern life come together.
No journey through the Kingdom would be complete without Makkah, the spiritual heart of Saudi Arabia and Islam's holiest city. With the Holy Mosque at the centre of its profound spiritual landscape, Makkah offers an experience rooted in faith, devotion, history, hospitality, and the journeys of millions of pilgrims.
Your journey starts here. Turn the pages of the October Edition of Gateway to Saudi and discover stories, destinations, and experiences that reveal the many faces of the Kingdom—from ancient heritage and vibrant city life to coastal adventures and meaningful journeys of faith.
