Welcome to Saudi Arabia

While attending our event, take the chance to explore a country full of rich history, stunning landscapes, and modern cities. Whether you’re looking for culture, adventure, or relaxation, Saudi Arabia has something for everyone.

Jeddah

Located by the Red Sea, Jeddah is a bustling city known for its beautiful waterfront. Experience the charm of Jeddah’s heritage as you wander through the historic streets of Al Balad. Discover a shopping paradise at the Mall of Arabia and Red Sea Mall. Dive into the refreshing waters of the Red Sea or take a leisurely stroll along the Jeddah Corniche. Don’t miss the spectacular King Fahd Fountain, a marvel that shoots water 312 meters into the sky.

Al-Ula

For history lovers, Al-Ula is a must-see. Explore Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and marvel at its ancient rock formations and carved tombs from 7,000 years of civilization and stunning rock formations like the 52-meter Elephant Rock. Enjoy the lush AlUla Oasis, adventure sports, and innovative art installations.

Yanbu

Along its more than 1,700 kilometers of Red Sea coastline, Saudi has some of the most pristine coral reefs in the world. Yanbu is one of the country’s two main Red Sea hubs for underwater adventure (the other is Jeddah). Pick up diving gear from a local Yanbu outfitter, then head to Seven Sisters, home to walls of brightly colored coral as well as hammerhead sharks. Yanbu Beach is a great spot to relax, sunbathe, or enjoy snorkeling and other water activities. Another must-see is the village of Yanbu Al Nakhal, an important archeological site dating back more than 2,000 years and one of three major sections in the city today.
