A must try activity in Saudi Arabia must be Falconry at sun down in a 4x4. Taking part in the activity followed by a Mandi meal cooked in a pit underground and served inside a tent in the desert by an open log fire, followed by tea and coffee. This completes a comprehensive experience of the local culture and an activity that characterises Saudi Arabia. It's a wonderful experience that I can get used to...

Activity that everyone must partake at least once in Saudi Arabia is to practically rent a tent in the desert and live like a King. While you're at it, go ride a camel and experience traversing the sand dunes.


If you want to discover the local culture then visit exhibits and museums so you can enjoy the comfort of learning Saudi culture indoors. An alternative is partaking in the traditional dances, holding the swords, following the dance steps and sharing a drink of their traditional coffee. I got a chance to experience this when my company sponsored a special event that involved at the end of the program was a band performing traditional song and dance to their traditional music. It was really heartwarming.


Start seeking knowledge from the cradle up to the grave.

I found the following fascinating
1. Visit Saudi homes
2. Go for a Saudi wedding (the most boring event ever)
3. Camp out in the desert at night, especially at the edge of the world
4. Visit traditional market, including the Haraj new market
5. Eat kabsa out with friends, it's not like anything you previously knew

I would like to suggest few activites which i found interesting to be done in Saudi Arabia.

1. Buggy Ride / Quad Biking
2. BBQ in desert
3. Adventures and thriling long drives (Like Edge of the world)
4. Amateur Games (Like Deep Dive in Heet Cave, Riyadh, Snorelling in Jeddah)
5. Clubbing with community people
6. Social activities (Helping stranded Labors)
7. Book a resort (Isthraha) with swimming pool and enjoy.

How do you get to helping the stranded?
