guide content sourced from wordtravels.com The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia receives hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, but few enter as tourists.

the Gulf of Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Yemen border
it. The red sea lies to the west. Riyadh (Ryad), the royal capital, is a
modern city constructed on the site of the original town. Apart from the
fort and a few traditional Najdi palaces near Deera Square, minute trace
of the old town remains.
Go
Mideast - Saudi Arabia
For the hearty traveler, take a trip to the Kingdom of Arabia. Saudi Arabia
has recently stepped up efforts to promote tourism, though it is somewhat
more difficult to travel to than other countries in the region. Hotel sponsorship,
driving through the country, or a business reason will get you in. A major
reason outsiders travel is the Hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca, which all
Muslims worldwide usually take at least once in their lives. Once there,
explore the generous hospitality and beautiful landscapes of the country.
Lonely
Planet - Saudi Arabia
Arabia has intrigued travellers for centuries. Its vast swathes of desert
were the swaddling clothes of infant Islam, the Arab race and of Arabic,
a language considered holy by Muslims. It's also home to Islam's two holiest
cities and a host of modern, thriving, oil-rich metropolises.
