The Location
Why Saudi Arabia?
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia receives hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, but few enter as tourists. This conservative country connecting Africa and mainland Asia contains the spiritual centre of the Islamic world, Mecca, and the sacred city of Medina, so most of the visitors are pilgrims, permitted on special religious visas.
Others come to this oil-rich nation on sponsored business trips, generally finding little time or facility for leisure and pleasure. Its cities are not backwaters but modern, bustling commercial centres, like the Royal capital, Riyadh, offering excellent hotels and some breathtaking sights such as the Al Faisaliah golden geodesic dome, one of the tallest buildings in the region.
Amongst it all, the magic of Arabia shines through in the souks (markets) where vendors tout everything from carpets to camel milk. The preserved ancient city of Jeddah is listed as a 'tourist site', as is that city's seafront corniche, a popular spot with the air of a British seaside resort that draws the country's own domestic holidaymakers.
Occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula, and bordered by no less than eight Middle-eastern states, many of them conflict-ridden, Saudi Arabia manages its highly controlled religious society alongside the onslaught of its progressive oil-boom industry.
