Reiseverlauf

Jeddah

Tag 1-2
Our first stop will be in Jeddah where the group will meet up at our accommodation. Jeddah is a Saudi Arabian port city on the Red Sea. The group will start early morning by walking on the Corniche which is a seafront promenade anchored by the iconic King's Fountain. Then our ride will be waiting for us to drive around to enjoy the city views. You could jet-ski if you are into rush! At sunset we will visit the old city Al-Balad which is a historic district that dates to the 7th century and retains traditional homes built from coral. We will sleep for 1 night in Jeddah.
2

Mecca

Tag 2-3
The next day we will be on a road trip to Mecca, Islam’s holiest city, as it’s the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and the faith itself. Millions of Muslims arrive to perform the annual Hajj (pilgrimage) each year. We will enter from the central Masjid al-Haram (Sacred Mosque) that surrounds the Kaaba (House of Allah/God), the black cloth-covered cubic structure and golden gates (pathway to heaven) is Islam’s most sacred shrine. If we are lucky we might be able to touch the Black Stone (meteor rocks that fell from the heavens). Finally quenching our thirst with ZamZam, a miraculous water that is the purest mineral water on earth and can cure any illness.

Medina

Tag 3
Next stop we will be taking the train to Medina city. In the city center, the vast Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) is a major Islamic pilgrimage site. Its striking Green Dome rises above the tombs of the Prophet Muhammad and early Islamic leaders. The Masjid al-Qiblatain (Qiblatain Mosque) is known as the site where the Prophet Muhammad received the command to change the direction of prayer to Mecca. After touring the city we will move with the car to our next stop.
4

Hegra

Tag 3-4
Next stop we will visit to see Hegra, also known as Madain Salih, an archaeological site located in the area of Al-Ula within Medina Province in the north-western region of Saudi Arabia. A majority of the remains date from the Nabataean Kingdom. We will be able to enjoy the freedom of riding camels, sand duning with buggies, traditional sword dance whilst traditional food will be served in a campfire surrounding and ending the night by star gazing and spending the night in an Arabian tent.
5

Rijal Alma'

Tag 4
The next day we are moving towards our final destination, Rijal Alma, a village located in the Asir region south-west of Saudi Arabia. This village is more than 900 years old and one cannot help but stop and marvel at the architecture of Rijal Almaa with its solidly built mini fortresses, placed atop the hillside. The tenacious village is located 45 km away from Abha - flourished over 350 years ago and remains intact with its white quartz-studded square towers, putting Rijal Almaa on UNESCO's tentative heritage list. Men in Rijal Almaa are seen dressed in the traditional “futa” attire - a wraparound skirt with vibrant stripes. They are nicknamed Flower Men as they adorn themselves with floral wreaths, a distinctive but lesser known Saudi tradition. The wreathes are made of intricate and beautiful arrangements of greens, herbs, and flowers. Ask around about its significance!
6

Jeddah

Tag 4-5
Finally we will head back towards Jeddah city and it will be our final day together. The group can roam around freely to do some last minute shopping, spend the remaining time on the red sea beach or sit and chill at a vibrant cafe and smoke some flavorful shisha! It's all up to you and what ideas we have in mind.
