First time visitors to KSA

Welcome to the KSA.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia constitutes the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula with a land area of approximately 2,150,000km2.
Saudi Arabia is both an economic powerhouse and a country proud of its Arabic and Islamic heritage, natural beauty and its pivotal role in the modern world.

Saudi Nature:
Saudi Arabia truly is a land of captivating contrasts, rich culture and breathtaking scenery. The vast land includes craggy mountain peaks and arid deserts, rich plantations and farms, coniferous forests and coral seas, modern cities and historic monuments. The diversity of tourist opportunities offers something for everyone, whatever the time of year.

The climate:
Except for the southwestern province of Asir, Saudi Arabia has a desert climate with very high day-time temperatures and a sharp temperature drop at night. Average summer temperatures are around 45°C but can be as high as 54°C. Spring and autumn are mild, with temperatures average around 29°C while in the winter the temperature rarely drops below 0°C.
The varied landscapes with the sheer size of the country mean that whatever the season, there’s always a place with a welcoming weather.

The culture:
The Saudi people are renowned for their generosity and hospitality – traits that have been embedded since ancient times. Wherever you go in the Kingdom – from the modern metropolitan hotels to remote desert camps – you will be treated with the utmost courtesy, given every assistance and welcomed with open arms.
Therefore, travellers must in return respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions at all times.

Please verify the luggage is indeed yours before you leave the Baggage Claim area. Baggage carts are available for free in the Baggage Claim area for passenger use. Airlines are responsible for handling and processing baggage.
