A vast arid country that occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has long coastlines on the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea. Saudi Arabia is not only the homeland of the Arab people but also the birthplace of Islam, the world’s fastest growing religion. In spite of its conservatism, the country offers a wealth of opportunities for leisure with a number of theme parks and a variety of sporting and outdoor activities that can be enjoyed by visitors. The capital city, Riyadh is the best place for themed attractions, quality hotels and delightful restaurants. Surprisingly, Saudi Arabia also has an abundance of forest, grasslands, mountain ranges and, of course, deserts. The Kingdom has many hidden charms and its friendly, gentle and generous people warmly welcome overseas visitors.
