Saudi Arabia, a country recently opening its gates to tourism, reveals a world of ancient wonders, spectacular deserts and ultra-modern cities. From the Nabataean tombs of Hegra to the skyscrapers of Riyadh, it offers an unprecedented experience. It combines history, nature and Arab hospitality.
The Arabian Peninsula was the cradle of ancient civilisations and a crossroads of the incense trade routes. Hegra (Madain Saleh) was the second-largest city of the Nabataeans, after Petra. The country is the centre of the Islamic world, home to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Ancient Hegra, the country’s first UNESCO monument, with its monumental carved tombs in the desert, is impressive. The AlUla oasis with Elephant Rock, historic Diriyah and the old town of Jeddah (Al-Balad) stand out. The desert and its red rocks offer enchanting landscapes.
Saudi cuisine is based on rice, lamb, chicken and spices. Try kabsa (the national dish of rice and meat), mandi and fresh dates. Arabic coffee with dates is a symbol of hospitality, while sweets with honey and nuts abound.
Nightlife is different from the Western kind, without alcohol, but lively. Evenings are spent in cafes, restaurants and modern malls, while major festivals and concerts are now held. The experience of a night under the stars in the desert is unique.
Currency: Saudi riyal· Time: same time as Greece· Access: by air to Riyadh (RUH) or Jeddah (JED); the tourist visa is easily issued online. The best season is October–March.
The trip runs for 5 days and starts from €895 per person. You pick the dates — there is no fixed departure.

This is a made-to-order trip, so you choose the dates. We are happy to advise on the best season for this destination and on how the weather, prices and crowds change through the year — just tell us roughly when you are thinking of travelling.
It depends on the season and the destination. Many trips do have a direct flight, but depending on your dates the airlines may not have a direct connection available for that period, in which case the trip may involve one stopover. We will tell you the exact flight routing clearly in your quote, before you proceed with the booking.
Not necessarily. The "From €X" price is the lowest price available today, based on current flight and hotel availability for that destination. Because availability changes daily, the final price for your specific dates may differ. We'll send you a firm, written quote before anything is charged, once you tell us the dates you have in mind.
Flight and hotel prices change daily depending on season, demand, day of the week, and how far in advance you book. That's why the price shown is indicative — the earlier you tell us your dates, the easier it is for us to secure the best possible price.
The single-room supplement varies by hotel and destination, and is included in the quote you'll receive for your specific dates. If you're travelling alone, let us know from the start so the quote already reflects the correct single-room price.
Payment is due in full at the time of booking. For certain hotels that have their own payment policy (for example a deposit or a specific payment deadline), we'll let you know clearly before you proceed, so you know exactly what applies.
Yes — once your booking is confirmed, the price is fixed and won't be affected by later changes in flight or hotel prices. Availability and price can only change before your booking is finalised.
Several trips offer the option to depart from a city other than Athens (for example Thessaloniki), usually with a small additional charge. If this applies to a specific trip, it will be noted on the page or mentioned when we send your quote. This trip is also available departing from Larnaca (Cyprus) — the flight price difference is calculated in your personal quote.
For this destination you do need a visa, but it's easy to arrange — either online before you travel (e-Visa) or on arrival at the airport, with no embassy visit required. We'll guide you through the process once you book. You'll also need a passport valid for at least 6 months from the return date. Entry rules change from time to time, so please confirm the current requirements with us before you book.
The local currency is Saudi riyal. Cards are widely accepted in cities and hotels, but it is worth carrying some cash for small shops, markets and tips. Tell your bank you are travelling so your card is not blocked.
Changes and cancellations follow the terms of the airlines, hotels and suppliers booked for you, so the cost depends on how close to departure you are and on the fare rules of each booking. Tell us as early as possible and we will look for the least costly option. The general terms of participation apply to every booking.
Travel insurance is not included in the price unless the "Included" list on this page says otherwise. We strongly recommend it, especially for trips outside the EU, so that medical care, cancellation and lost luggage are covered. We can arrange a policy for you — just ask when you book.
Yes — this is an individual trip, not a group departure. There is no fixed itinerary and no coach schedule: you travel on your own, at your own pace. We can change the number of nights, the class of hotel, add or drop destinations and arrange transfers, car hire or private guides.
Send us a request through the form on this page, call us, or drop by the office. We will come back with availability and a written quotation before anything is charged.
