Know More About Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is a country of more than 32 million people, including 13 million expats. It is as diverse in population as it is in geography, with vast deserts, high mountains, lush forests and two coastlines. You’ve chosen a very exciting time to visit Saudi Arabia, as it is currently witnessing dramatic progress and embarking on many ambitious projects in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
But Saudi also has deep-rooted traditions and a culture of being warm and welcoming toward guests. In fact, there’s even a term for this spirit of generosity: hafawah. We are excited for you to experience Saudi Arabian hafawah for yourself. You won’t soon forget it.
