    LITTLE-KNOWN AND MAJESTIC KINGDOM

    Saudi Arabia is a vast country located in the Middle East, bordered by the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. It is the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula and is known for being the guardian of the holy sites of Mecca and Medina. Cradle of the mysterious Nabataean civilisation, Saudi Arabia is beginning to unveil its treasures to the world. From the Futuristic skyline of Riyadh passing through the desert region of’Alula and to the banks of Jeddah on the Red Sea, a trip to Saudi Arabia offers a multitude of landscapes, each more wonderful than the last. The country's rich heritage and traditions have been shaped by its historical role as a trade crossroads and the birthplace of Islam. In recent years, the kingdom has undergone a significant cultural transformation and has evolved its ancestral customs to adapt to the contemporary world. Vast tourism development projects are notably being implemented, such as that of « Red Sea Global »which aims to create a brand new, exclusive and luxurious destination along the Red Sea, one of the last true hidden treasures on the planet. Surrounded by white sandy beaches and an abundance of coral reefs, Ummahat Island will welcome internationally renowned hotels such as St Regis and Ritz-Carlton, where the island's guests will discover new levels of luxury, blending the best of the Red Sea with the incredible natural beauty of its coastline. Travelling to Saudi Arabia is an opportunity to discover a still little-known country with a fascinating historical heritage and to explore landscapes of rare beauty.
