Step into a new perspective on Saudi Arabia with the September Edition of Gateway to Saudi. Meet the people, places, traditions, and experiences shaping the Kingdom today, from its fast-changing urban centres to its coastline and destinations of deep spiritual significance.
We begin in Riyadh, the Kingdom's dynamic capital, where historic roots meet a bold contemporary identity. Explore the heritage of Diriyah, atmospheric souqs, cultural landmarks, creative spaces, exceptional dining, and an ever-expanding calendar of entertainment and experiences that make the capital one of the region's most exciting urban destinations.
From the capital, we travel west to Jeddah, a cosmopolitan Red Sea city shaped by centuries of trade, pilgrimage, and cultural exchange. Discover the architectural character of Al-Balad, stroll along the Corniche, and experience a destination where Hijazi traditions, contemporary creativity, diverse cuisine, and coastal living come together.
Further along the coast lies the spectacular Red Sea, home to pristine waters, remarkable marine life, untouched landscapes, and a new generation of luxury resorts. With opportunities for diving, wellness, adventure, and nature-based experiences, the destination offers an extraordinary way to experience Saudi Arabia's coastline while surrounded by some of the world's most beautiful natural environments.
Our journey continues to Makkah, the spiritual heart of the Kingdom and Islam's holiest city. A destination of immense significance for millions of pilgrims, Makkah offers an experience rooted in faith, devotion, history, and hospitality, with the Holy Mosque standing at the centre of its profound spiritual landscape.
We then arrive in Madinah, a city known for its tranquillity and deep connection to Islamic history. Home to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and places of immense religious and historical importance, Madinah provides a deeply meaningful journey through centuries of faith, culture, and tradition.
Together, these destinations reveal the extraordinary contrasts of Saudi Arabia—from metropolitan energy and ancient heritage to pristine shores and sacred cities. The September Edition of Gateway to Saudi brings these experiences together, offering a closer look at a Kingdom where every journey can reveal something unexpected, meaningful, and memorable.
