Perfect 6-Day Luxury Saudi Arabia Itinerary: Explore Jeddah, AlUla & More

Your holiday in Arabia begins with an arrival in Jeddah, the bustling metropolis on the shores of the Red Sea. Arrive and check into your hotel to acclimatize yourself with Arabia.

Later in the afternoon, stroll along the Jeddah Corniche and see the King Fahd Fountain that is one of the tallest fountains in the world. This easy walk gives you the first glimpse into Jeddah’s mesh of modernity with tradition.

Day 2: Jeddah Cultural Exploration

Get ready to experience the rich cultural heritage of Jeddah, which dates back to the day when this was a major trading city. The UNESCO-listed old city of Al-Balad awaits a visit, which you will make amidst leisure walks down narrow alleys, viewing great coral stone architecture and shopping in traditional souks full of spices, textiles, and unique crafts. And that’s not all, because yet another must-see is the iconic historic mansion Beit Nassif, introducing you to the city’s past.

Following lunch, you will visit the Jameel Arts Centre and get an appreciation for Saudi art in all its modern forms. Your final visit will be to the Floating Mosque, a beautiful building seemingly rising out of the Red Sea, where at sunset you will see the waves painted in shades of orange and red.

Day 3: Red Sea Adventure

Today’s Red Sea experience: Obhur Creek, one of the famous spots for water sports, greets the day. Snorkel or dive into colorful reefs and their fish, or go for a lazy boat cruise. You will have seafood lunch on board, freshly grilled, or in a waterfront restaurant.

The rest of the afternoon is free to relax on one of the pristine beaches close to Jeddah or pamper yourself in the spa of the resort. Later in the evening, return refreshed to the hotel in Jeddah for further travel.

Day 4: Excursion to AlUla

This morning, after breakfast, take a short flight into AlUla, a land of dramatic landscapes and historic significance. Check into the luxurious Habitas AlUla, nestled amidst desert canyons. Explore the serene pathways, enjoy a cocktail by the pool, or, if interested, take part in an optional yoga session under the stars this evening. AlUla’s clear night skies-without urban light pollution-offer incomparable opportunities for stargazing.

Day 5: AlUla Wonders

Day five: Get ready for a wonder-filled exploration into AlUla. First, take a guided tour of Hegra, the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This sister city to Petra has over 100 tombs cut out of the sandstone cliffs. Your guide will enthrall you with stories of the Nabataean civilization which once prospered there.

After lunch, head to Elephant Rock, the site of the natural sandstone formation that assumes the shape of a pachyderm. The more adventurous trekkers tackle the AlUla Oasis Trail hike-an area you could tour via e-bikes. Cap off your day with dinner in a magical setting amidst the lighted cliffs at AlUla; if possible, complete with traditional stargazing whereby you will learn about Bedouin astronomy.

Day 6: The last day in Saudi Arabia

Spend your last day at Habitas AlUla having a leisurely breakfast. Later, you may either:

• Return to Jeddah for more sightseeing, shopping, or one last culinary experience.
• Proceed directly to the airport and head home, carrying with you unforgettable memories of Saudi Arabia’s vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality.
