From the historic district of Diriyah, the birthplace of the Kingdom and bustling traditional markets, to inviting art galleries, international cuisine, and a fast-growing metro system, it showcases how the capital seamlessly blends timeless traditions with bold innovation.
The series unfolds like a journey through paradise, beginning with snorkeling vibrant coral reefs alive with marine wonders, moving on to sailing across the crystal-clear waters, and finally slowing down to indulge in the serenity of luxury resorts where every moment captures the Red Sea’s perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. All-in-all, Saudi is the ultimate destination for a traveller, complete with curated luxury experiences at the Red Sea. The country offers something for everyone, from mystical history & otherworldly outdoors to futuristic experiences & unrivalled opulence.

As a woman travelling through the location, I felt an unexpected sense of freedom, warmth, and welcome. The people, the culture, the stories – they left me moved and inspired.
