🇸🇦 SAUDI ARABIA: BEYOND THE DESERT
When you hear “Saudi Arabia,” is desert the first thing that comes to mind? 🏜️
Its golden dunes are beautiful—but they are only one part of the picture.
🌿 Green mountains and misty valleys — Aseer, Abha, and Al Baha.
🌊 Beautiful beaches and turquoise waters — the Red Sea coast, Umluj, and Farasan Islands.
🏛️ History and heritage — AlUla, Diriyah, and Jeddah’s Al-Balad.
🏙️ Modern skylines and striking architecture — Riyadh’s King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), where towers reveal another face of Saudi Arabia.
Beyond the scenery, there is hospitality, regional traditions, food, art, and a deep connection to faith and family—so much for Saudis to celebrate and take pride in. 🤍
As an OFW who calls this country her second home, I want to share its many beautiful sides—from mountain villages and coastal towns to the city skyline of KAFD.
The desert is part of Saudi Arabia’s beauty. The whole story is much richer. 🇸🇦✨
Which side of Saudi Arabia surprised you most?
