So now that there are tourist visas, what can tourists expect if they choose to visit Saudi Arabia? Well, there are many brilliant places that are quite different than home besides the usual touristy places such as sky scrapers and fancy restaurants. You can rent a car and do a driving trip and complete the whole country within 2 weeks comfortably. There are winter concerts at the old heritage site of Al-Ula called ‘Winter at Tantura’. Of course, Makkah and Madinah needs no introduction and you can research the information about those places before going. I would say to visit the local culture and to do that, one must interact with the public. Since modest dress is now the attire, I would recommend that one blends in as much as possible to the eastern side of the spectrum when it comes to being ‘modestly dressed’.
What to eat?
You can get great fresh local food from many restaurants and nearly all of them deliver. There are apps such as UberEats, CareemGo, Talabat, and Hungerstation that provide a very good service to food junkies.
This is the new KSA and in light of the very recent changes, you will be one of the first to have your passport stamped with a tourist visa from Saudi Arabia. For sure, you will see women driving, different styles of abayas, lots of Riyadh traffic and hair styles. This can be your page in your life of visiting a land that is not like any other, literally.
