Best things to do and see in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is home to many religious festivals and popular cultural events. It is well worth looking for flights to Saudi Arabia during these festivals if you want to learn more about Saudi Arabian culture and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. One popular event is the Hala Jeddah Festival in September, which has been running annually for almost 20 years. The Hala Jeddah Festival originally started as a way to attract more tourists to Jeddah, and it is a vibrant celebration of Saudi Arabian food, culture, and history. It is staged in the city of Jeddah, hosting hundreds of stalls each selling local cuisine and artisan crafts, and ends with an impressive firework display. If you are interested in Saudi Arabian folk culture and heritage, you may also want to look for Saudi-Arabia flight deals during the Janadriyah National Festival, taking place in Janadriyah, just outside of Riyadh. Here, you can find a great range of local goods for sale and learn about Saudi Arabia's rich folklore and storytelling culture. Saudi Arabia is also home to many religious celebrations, such as Eid-Al-Fitr, which takes place in June and marks the end of Ramadan for Muslims worldwide.
Saudi Arabia's culture is rich in delicious foods, with many popular dishes that tourists will love to try. The country's cuisine offers a range of rich, spiced recipes usually served with starchy food like rice or flatbreads. Meats such as lamb and beef feature heavily in many popular, authentic dishes, but it is also possible to get hearty vegetarian food in Saudi Arabia. One popular Saudi Arabian dish is known as Kabsa, which most visitors travelling to Saudi Arabia will encounter if they plan to try the local cuisine during their stay. Kabsa is a spiced rice dish, which involves cooking rice in meat stock to enhance the flavour. The rice is then usually served with a meat accompaniment, such as chicken or lamb. More rarely, it is served with seafood. Dates are also popular in Saudi Arabian cuisine and are used frequently in both savoury and sweet dishes. Popular dessert recipes, such as Hininy and Ma'amoul, use dates to add sweetness and richness, making them unmissable treats. Bread-based dishes, like Shawarma, which involves serving meat inside a baked flatbread, are also local delicacies frequently served at street stalls.
Saudi Arabia offers a great blend of modern attractions and historical sites. Visitors to Saudi Arabia can take in the amazing views over Riyadh when they visit Kingdom Tower Centre. These views are particularly impressive when the city is lit up at night, although this is also when the centre is likely to be at its busiest. If you are more interested in cultural or historical sites, you can take a trip to the famous Al Masjid an Nabawi mosque, located in Medina. It holds the prophet Muhammad's tomb and is a popular site for religious pilgrimage. The mosque is a stunning example of Saudi Arabian architecture and a fantastic place to visit when you book Saudi Arabia flight deals. It is usually busy during the day but is particularly crowded during religious festivals, such as Eid and Ramadan, when many Muslims undertake religious pilgrimages to the site. For those tourists who enjoy engaging in some retail therapy, Saudi Arabia is also home to great shopping malls, such as the Al-Rashid Mall or the Red Sea Mall, which feature many luxury stores.
British travellers must hold a valid UK passport and the correct visa to enter Saudi Arabia. It is possible to apply online for a tourist visa in advance of your travel, although you can also obtain it at one of the country's international airports on your arrival.
