Arabia: Ancient Kingdoms & Red Sea

About This Program

An extraordinary 11-day private journey through Saudi Arabia's most spectacular landscapes — from the modern skyline of Riyadh and UNESCO-listed Diriyah, to the pristine private islands of the Red Sea, the ancient Nabataean tombs of AlUla, and the historic coral-stone streets of Jeddah.

This immersive private tour reveals Saudi Arabia's extraordinary transformation — a kingdom opening its doors to reveal 7,000 years of civilisation, dramatic desert landscapes, and a pristine Red Sea coastline. Beginning in Riyadh, you will explore the birthplace of the Saudi state at Diriyah's UNESCO-listed At-Turaif district before flying to the Red Sea's Ummahat Islands, where a private island villa at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, offers world-class snorkelling and absolute seclusion. The journey continues to AlUla — Saudi Arabia's crown jewel — where 2,000-year-old Nabataean tombs rival Petra in grandeur, and sandstone canyons shelter luxury desert resorts. The tour concludes in Jeddah, where the UNESCO-listed Al-Balad historic quarter reveals centuries of Red Sea trading heritage through its ornate coral-stone architecture and carved wooden mashrabiya balconies.
