~~~From Arabia with Love~~~

Welcome to the the virgin heart of The Middle East.

~Saudi Arabia is not a country but its many countries~

Each region in Saudi has their own
culture, clothing and thoughts.

From the historical and holy lands
of Hijaz to the green forests of the
south, from the soft sandy dessert
of Najd till the glassy water of the
Persian gulf and the Red Sea, from
the cold mountains and wonders of
the north until the empty quart in the
south East.

Can’t finish describing Saudi Arabia.

A lot to see if you know how to do it.

What make it unique?

Lets see:

Madain Saleh (Petra)

The holy city of Makkah where the story of Abraham and Ishmel continues,

Khaybar the ancient Jewish city,

Old Jeddah where the future engage with the past,

Forests of Abha,

Al Ukhdod in Najran (in the Quran),

City of Tema where it mentioned in the Bible,

Jabal Al Luz in the north,

Wahba Center by Madina,

Hijaz railway Destroyed in WWI,

Diving by the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf,

Enjoying camping by deserts,

Visiting museums around the kingdom in Riyadh Najran and Jeddah,

ALL of Saudi Arabia.

The green mountains of Abha.

Green and snow in Abha, Saudi arabia

Very beautiful spot of
Saudi Arabia. Located in the south.
