later merged to form the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
in 1932, and later incorporated Asir into the
kingdom. In 1932, it was originally an absolute
monarchy ruled by Sharia. Later in 1992, the Saudi
royal family introduced the country to its first
constitution, making it a constitutional monarchy.

The Islamic Kingdom The kingdom is sometimes

referred to as the “Land of the Two Holy
Mosques” as it is home to Mecca and Medinah, the
two holiest cities in Islam. Yet the nation’s
beginnings can be traced back to 1902 when
captured the city of Riyadh. Though the official
proclamation and recognition of the nation didn’t
come until 1932. Traces of national Origins
however can be traced all the way back to 1744,
with the establishment of the First Saudi State. The
current ruler is King Abd Al-Aziz Al- Saud.

arid desert, lowland, steppe, and mountains. Its
capital and largest city is Riyadh. The country is
home to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest
cities in Islam.
Religion:
Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of the Prophet
Muhammad and includes the holy cities of
Mecca and Medina, so it is no surprise that
Islam is the national religion. Approximately
97% of the population is Muslim, with around
85% adhering to forms of Sunnism and 10%
following Shiism. The official religion is
Wahhabism, also known as Salafism, an ultra-
conservative form of Sunni Islam.
The Shiite minority faces harsh discrimination in
education, hiring, and the application of
justice. Foreign workers of different faiths, such
as Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, also have
to be careful not to be seen as proselytizing. Any
Saudi citizen who converts from Islam faces the
death penalty, while proselytizers face jail and
expulsion from the country. Churches and
temples of non-Muslim faiths are forbidden on
Saudi soil.
Currency:

currency of Saudi Arabia since the country was
first established. The Saudi riyal is currently
pegged to the US dollar at the rate of 1 US dollar

Arabia. There are three major regional dialects:
Nejdi Arabic, spoken in the center of the
country; Hejazi Arabic, common in the western
part of the nation; and Gulf Arabic, which is
centered along the Persian Gulf coast.
Foreign workers in Saudi Arabia speak a vast
array of native languages, including Urdu,
Tagalog, and English.
Climate
Saudi Arabia has a desert climate with extremely
hot days and steep temperature dips at
night. Rainfall is slight, with the highest rains
along the Persian Gulf coast, which receives 12
inches (300 millimeters) of rain per year. Most
precipitation occurs during the Indian Ocean
monsoon season, from October to March. Saudi
Arabia also experiences large sandstorms.
The highest temperature recorded in Saudi
Arabia was 129 F (54 C). The lowest
temperature was 12 F (-11 C) in Turaif.
Eco Tourism:
Following are the key goals and objectives of
Saudi ecotourism:
1. Impact reduction: The rise in ecotourism in
Saudi Arabia will mitigate the environmental
impact of mass tourism and its resource-
intensive infrastructure. The Saudi Arabian
government will use renewable energy and
dispose of waste properly to reduce tourism’s
impact.
2. Environmental advantage: Saudi Arabia’s
ecotourism program aims to offer a clear
advantage to the environment. The government
wants to contribute profits from ecotourism
toward ecological conservation.
3. Decrease in oil dependence: Rise in
ecotourism in Saudi Arabia is a part of Vision
2030, an ambitious goal to reduce Saudi
Arabia’s reliance on oil. The aim is to grow the
country’s gross domestic product due to tourism
from 3% to 10% by 2030.
Here is a detailed list latest projects and
places in Saudi Arabia for ecotourism:
• Green Riyadh Project – Cover of acacia
trees
• Red Sea Project – Environment friendly

Adventure:
Dune Bashing- Dune bashing is an adrenaline-
pumping activity in every sense. As the car
climbs up a dune at rapid speed and drops
suddenly, you will give whoops of delight.
Enjoy the mad fall from the tall dunes. The
crazy drive blowing out a lot of sand usually
lasts up to 30 minutes.
Sand Boarding- Sandboarding is
a boardsport and extreme sport similar
to snowboarding that involves riding across or
down a sand dune while standing on a board,
either with both feet strapped in or while
standing loose, without bindings. Sandboarding
can also be practised sitting down or lying on the
belly or the back. It typically involves
a sandboard, although it is also possible to
use sleds, surfboards, a skateboard deck,
or snowboards.
HEALTH AND WELLNESS:
Health and Wellness in Saudi Arabia
Life almost returned to normal after the
government made it mandatory for citizens to
have two doses of the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
vaccination by 1 August 2021. Indeed, Saudi
Arabia banned all unvaccinated citizens and
residents from entering public establishments,
such as shopping malls and restaurants, retail
stores and markets from this date. This was a
response to renewed fears over new variants of
the virus, and the stated low effectiveness of a
single dose of the vaccine against these Corona
Virus

The importance accorded to human health by the
Kingdom is well manifested in its advanced
infrastructure for medical research, its
possession of the best medical system in the
region, the presence of an expanded genetic
database, and other competitive advantages.
Through this priority, the Kingdom aims to
provide people with a better and longer healthy
life through addressing the prevailing medical
challenges in the Kingdom and the world,
providing digital healthcare to ensure health
equity, and supplying the world with biotech
solutions.
Saudi Arabia seeks, through the priority of
sustainable environment and supply of essential
needs, to become a global model in preserving
the planet and providing basic needs of water,
food and sustainable energy. The Kingdom will
develop environmentally friendly technologies
for water supply and desalination along with
modern and sustainable technologies for food
production, increased green spaces, carbon
capture, utilization and storage technologies, and
sustainable technologies for low-cost electricity
generation.
Natural Attraction:
• Elephant Rock (Jabal AlFil), is an amazing
geomorphological wonder located 11km
northeast of AlUla. A spectacular example of
natural erosive forces of water and wind over a
period of millions of years, this natural wonder
rises 171ft into the air with mountains looming in
the background.
• The Edge of the World (its real name is
Jebel Fihrayn), one of Saudi’s most
popular tourist destinations, got its
nickname from the uninterrupted view of
the horizon it offers atop its 300-meter-
high cliffs, which overlook the
surrounding plain. It’s part of the much
longer Tuwaiq escarpment, and drops
down roughly 305 meters into an ancient
ocean bed. From the top of the cliffs,
you’ll spot dried rivers weaving across the
land and may even see camels moving far
 below — an ancient caravan route once
passed through these grounds.
• Natural Arch -Seen from the distance
the arches look tiny, but when arriving
from the western side of the rock
formation an impressive diamond-shape
arch reveals itself. The size is striking
and the symmetry of this natural
sculpture is incredible. When looking
through the incredibly regular arch, the
top of a second one - even higher -
appears. If the first arch requires a bit of
climbing to reach, this second one can
be crossed by several cars
simultaneously! Its elegant, slender
silhouette is a beauty.
Historical Attraction:
• Madain Salih- Mada’in Saleh, not far
from al-Ula (22 km), was known as al-
Hijr, or Hegra, by the Nabataean people
who carved its magnificent tombs into
the golden Quweira sandstone outcrops.
The delicate details on the entrance
portals and the smooth surfaces of its
111 tomb façades reflect the great skills
of the masons of their time. The
splendor of the natural setting here must
have reminded the Nabataeans of their
capital, Petra, hewn into the rosey
sandstone cliffs to the north in modern-
day Jordan. It is no wonder that they
chose this very spot to build their second
city, Hegra. Based on the many dated
tomb inscriptions, Hegra thrived
between 1 BCE -74 CE.
• Jubbah Hail- The rock art of Jabal
Umm Sinman Jubbah and Jabal Al-
Major and Jabal Raat near Shuwaymis
contain an exceptionally large number
of petroglyphs, created by using a range
of techniques with simple stone
hammers, against a background of
gradual environmental deterioration, and
are visually stunning expressions of the
human creative genius.
• Masmak Fortress-The fortress played
an integral role in the Unification of
Saudi Arabia, with the Battle of Riyadh,
one of the most important conflicts of
the Saudi unification, taking place in the
fort. Since 1995, the fortress has been
converted into a museum showcasing
one of the most important landmarks of
Saudi heritage.
Cultural Attraction:
• Gate to Mecca- is
an arch gateway monumental on
the Makkah al-Mukkarramah road
of the Jeddah–Makkah Highway. It
is the entrance to Mecca, the
birthplace of the Islamic
prophet Muhammad and signifies
the boundary of the haram area of
the city of Mecca, where non-
Muslims are prohibited to enter.
• Arthr Gallery- As a relentless
supporter of artists from Saudi
Arabia and the region, ATHR acts
as more than a gallery, providing
opportunities for furthering
knowledge and experience through
its multidisciplinary space in Jeddah
and beyond. Through its extensive
programming, ATHR has pioneered
an uncovering of the Saudi
contemporary art scene, extending it
to the world, putting Jeddah at the
forefront.
• Jeddah Floating Mosque-
Famously known as the Floating
Mosque, the Al Rahma Mosque is
amongst the most prominent
mosques and the local landmarks in
Jeddah. Also known as Fatima Al-
Zahra Mosque, it is present on the
northern tip of Jeddah’s waterfront
and covers a massive area of 2,400
sq m. The majestic structure is
anchored to the sandy shore by a
low-walled walkway sprawled
across the Red Sea.
Heritage Attraction:
• HISTORIC JEDDAH, AL BALAD-
Historic Jeddah is situated on the eastern
shore of the Red Sea. From the 7th
century AD it was established as a major
port for Indian Ocean trade routes,
channelling goods to Mecca. It was also
the gateway for Muslim pilgrims to
Mecca who arrived by sea. These twin
roles saw the city develop into a thriving
multicultural centre, characterized by a
distinctive architectural tradition,
including tower houses built in the late
19th century by the city’s mercantile
elites, and combining Red Sea coastal
coral building traditions with influences
and crafts from along the trade routes.
• ROCK ART, HAIL- The rock art at
Jabal Umm Sinman at Jubbah and Jabal
Al-Major and Jabal Raat at Shuwaymis
provide an exceptional testimony to the
challenges of past societies in response
to environmental catastrophes. In
addition, the petroglyphs at Shuwaymis
provide an exceptional testimony of a
society that vanished, leaving behind an
exceptionally detailed record of its
existence.
• AL-AHSA OASIS- In the eastern
Arabian Peninsula, the Al-Ahsa Oasis is
a serial property comprising gardens,
canals, springs, wells and a drainage
lake, as well as historical buildings,
urban fabric and archaeological sites.
They represent traces of continued
human settlement in the Gulf region
from the Neolithic to the present, as can
be seen from remaining historic
fortresses, mosques, wells, canals and
other water management systems. With
its 2.5 million date palms, it is the
largest oasis in the world. Al-Ahsa is
also a unique geocultural landscape and
an exceptional example of human
interaction with the environment.
