3 cities to visit in Saudi Arabia

Riyadh 

As the largest city in Saudi Arabia with more than 6.5 million inhabitants, the Saudi capital is inevitably a must. Between the architecture, the shopping, and the visits to historical sites, the city offers opportunities for all types of travelers. We visit the Kingdom Center, both to be captivated by the overwhelming 311m height of the building, but also to enjoy the view of the 99th floor, sublimated by the sunset. Luxury shoppers will inevitably find their pleasure in the shopping center it houses. For those who are fond of culture, opt for a visit to Fort Masmak, located in the city’s historic center, and its museum, which houses an exhibition of weapons, ancient costumes, and agricultural artifacts.

Jeddah 

By all accounts, the city on the Red Sea is the crown jewel of Saudi Arabia. Characterized by its light atmosphere, and the open-mindedness of its inhabitants, the city is full of assets. Ideally located, it is a delight for beach lovers, and even divers, since the coral reefs are vast and magnificent. Its historic center, Al-Balad, is a true emblem of the city, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is so old that it is possible to trace the entire local history of the region. Other architectural treasures to visit in the city include the Nasseef House Museum, built in 1881, and the floating mosque, also known as the Al Rahma Mosque. The latter is one of the most popular attractions in the city of Jeddah. It welcomes millions of visitors every year (the mosques of Jeddah have only recently opened to tourists).

Masjid Arrahmah, Masjid Terapung kota Jeddah . . Masjid satu ini boleh jadi adalah masjid paling popular di kota Jeddah bagi para jemaah haji ataupun jemaah umroh, termasuk jemaah dari Indonesia, walaupun sebenarnya tak ada keistimewaan apapun dalam kaitannya dengan ibadah haji ataupun umroh dengan masjid satu ini, Awalnya masjid ini sempat diberi nama masjid Fatimah, dikemudian hari pengunjung ke masjid ini se-akan terpeleset lidah menyebut nama masjid ini menjadi Masjid Fatimah Az-Zahra, dan dikait kait kan dengan Nama putri Rosulullah tersebut, sampai kemudian pemerintah Saudi Arabia mengubah nama masjid ini menjadi Masjid Arrahmah. . . 📷 @wsf_creative . . ==================================== . . @masjidinfo 🌎 gudang informasi masjid di Nusantara dan mancanegara. 🌎 informasi dunia Islam.

Dammam

Located in the east of the country, only a few miles from the neighboring kingdom of Bahrain, the metropolitan area of Dammam, which also includes Al Khobar and Dhahran, has a population of about 2 million. Here again, beach and diving enthusiasts will easily find something to do. Many outdoor activities are also available: mountain biking, paragliding, boating (with a possibility to visit Marjan Island, very popular for its greenery), diving, horse riding… Many shopping centers will delight serial shoppers, and art, culture or history enthusiasts are expected in the historic center, or at the Ithra Museum where they can discover all kinds of exhibitions, workshops and a library, each richer than the next.
