The Major Tourist Attractions in Saudi Arabia

Mecca: The city of Mecca is visited by thousands of Muslims all over the world every year. Islam recommends undertaking a journey to the place, and is considered to be an important spiritual journey. All Muslims, who have the wealth and health to undertake this pilgrimage, do so at least once in a lifetime.

Habalah: This is a deserted village, which is situated on a cliff top, which is situated some thousand meters above the surrounding valley and field. When the desert was populated, the villagers were supplied food and other amenities by means of a rope hung from an iron stand above.

This apart there are various interesting Saudi Arabia tourist attractions, such as Madain Saleh Cemetery, the Al- Musmak castle and the King Abdul Aziz Military museum to name a few of them
