Saudi Arabia Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Saudi Culture

The travel season in Saudi Arabia runs from October to the end of March. In summer, Riyadh often passes 40 degrees Celsius, while winter days are mild and the nights are cool. The country covers most of the Arabian Peninsula, so distances between cities are long and domestic flights become part of any route.

Places to visit

  • Riyadh: the capital. The At-Turaif district in nearby Diriyah is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Jeddah: a Red Sea port city whose old market quarter, Al-Balad, is also on the UNESCO list.
  • AlUla: Hegra (Mada'in Salih), with its Nabataean tombs, was the first UNESCO site in the country.
  • Makkah and Madinah: the two holy cities Muslims travel to. Non-Muslims cannot enter Makkah.
