Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is, above all, the land of the Two Holy Mosques. Every year millions of Muslims travel to Makkah and Madinah to perform Umrah and Hajj, a journey of faith like no other. Beyond the holy cities, the kingdom reveals a remarkable variety of landscapes and heritage: the Nabataean tombs of AlUla, the old coral-stone houses of historic Jeddah, the mud-brick town of Diriyah and the modern skyline of Riyadh.

Umrah, Hajj and more

Most Libyan travellers come to perform Umrah or Hajj, praying at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and visiting the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah. Many also take time to visit the historic sites of Madinah, such as Quba Mosque and Mount Uhud. Others travel on business to Riyadh and Jeddah, or extend their stay to discover AlUla, the Red Sea coast and the heritage of Diriyah.

Saudi Arabia is reached by air via its main international airports in Jeddah, Madinah and Riyadh, with Jeddah and Madinah the usual gateways for pilgrims.
