Saudi Arabia 🐪: Road trip through the UNESCO's AlUla, Edge of the world, 🌋 Lava fields, 🥾 Canyon hike, Culture 🇸🇦

🇸🇦 A lot of people have a pre-conception of Saudi Arabia which is unfortunately exaggerated by the western social media. It's an exciting time to visit Saudi, around 1.5 years after they officially opened up more so tourists - they've held their first EDM festival, made it legal for women to drive & are currently creating the first of its kind city 'the line' that will excess upwards rather than across lots of land. I have lived in the Middle East for nearly 10 years and I would love to show you another country less travelled if you are ready to be opened minded and wow'd by the sheer hospitality of the Saudis and the beautiful desert landscapes & UNESCO sites. It really is an Arabian dream if you're ready to be open minded & don't mind long journeys between stops in the car.
