8 Days. 2n YANBU 4* | 2n AL ULA Ø | 3n JEDDAH 4*

Over de bestemming: Op het eerste gezicht, met zijn haven, raffinaderijen en petrochemische fabrieken, is Yanbu nauwelijks de meest aantrekkelijke plek van het Koninkrijk. Maar het wordt snel de top toeristische bestemming in het land, met zijn vooraanstaande duiklocaties en ongerepte witte zandstranden, velen met resorts en privéstranden gericht op gezinnen. Het industriële gedeelte van Yanbu ligt een goede 10km tot 15km ten zuiden van het stadscentrum en heeft weinig invloed op de prachtige stranden in het noorden. Het centrum is klein maar schilderachtig, met een ongehaaste sfeer die niet te vinden is in de grotere steden. Net buiten de stad ligt een uitgestrekte, open woestijn die overgaat in het water, en het is hier dat de meeste bezoekers hun tijd doorbrengen: stel je voor dat je op het strand zit met weinig, zo niet geen, mensen aan beide kanten van je. Het Hajj-seizoen, dat grote menigten trekt, is de uitzondering.

Over de bestemming:

There are few places in the world where you can still feel like a true explorer charting the unknown. In many historic destinations, the illusion of discovery is promptly shattered by a jungle of selfie sticks. But in AlUla, which is home to Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, deep in the desert in the northwestern region of the country, you might still be able to play out your fantasy of being an intrepid archaeologist for a day. Despite all the makings of a bucket list-topping global destination — ancient tombs that remain as the legacy of 7,000 years of human civilization, stunning natural rock formations and canyons, a plethora of adventure sports options and cutting-edge art installations — AlUla remains largely off the global tourism radar, giving you plenty of space and time for reflection with the monumentality of its beautiful desert landscapes.

Over de bestemming: Jeddah is on the Red Sea in western Saudi Arabia. It is the second largest city, and a major commercial center in the country. Jeddah is the principal gateway to Mecca, Islam's holiest city, which able-bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in their lifetime. It is also a gateway to Medina, the second holiest place in Islam. The city that never sleeps won’t allow you to sleep from all the variety it offers. To discover Jeddah you will have to sail its raging coasts, visit the luxurious Corniche, devour popular seafood delicacies, enjoy majestic palaces, and historical and archeological landmarks. The Khuzam Palaca is a landmark that reflects the beauty of modern architecture. It was named Khuzam after all the lavender (Khuzama in Arabic) surrounding it. The construction of the palace began in 1928, and was completed in 1932. It is the first building to be constructed using cement and iron in Jeddah. King Abdulaziz ordered its construction during his stay at the Nassif House for a period of time. Khuzam Palace today is one the most important museums in Saudi Arabia. The Tahaliyah Street is one of the most prestigious and vital main streets in the city of Jeddah. It is a commercial hub of shopping centers given the many brand name shopping centers lining its sides, as well as the finest restaurants, multiple shopping centers and lavish offices, not to mention its beauty and strategic location, divided into two sections.
