Saudi Arabia: open for tourists

[@MohammedAlbuhayri]

I am a Saudi and have to clarify some points . When we say we want to welcome visitors and tourists that does not mean we force you to come to the kingdom. We are addressing those global citizens who are open to the world and want to explore it. My country is I would say 99% muslims and yes alcohol isn't allowed here and we have completely different life styles from those in the west but if all places are the same then what is the point of visiting a new country. Also, to those who say Saudi has nothing to offer, it is total non-sense, WE are very rich in history, we have many hertiage sites, we have 500 years old villages, more than 1400 years old cites, Madain Saleh which is like Petra in Jordan and it's the Nabateans’ second-largest city. For nature lovers, we have untouched islands with crystal water and white sand, we have mountains ( more than 3000 meters high) and of course we have one of the largest deserts in the world ( the Empty quarter). Needless to mention the Arabian hospitality at its best. I am just saying that because I travel a lot and love travellers and think that coming to Saudi would be a unique experience. WELCOME to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia !!

[@th529]

Nasser N. Actually I presented the western male point of view. I love Saudi for its current natural culture and way of life. Some people are out there who will only issue you certificate of modernity only when you allow them to eat pork, alcohol and your women in your country and also have sex with same gender in your hotel rooms. Else they will call you backward.

Not everything has to be westernized and seen from that point of view to be valued. I'd gladly come to Saudi Arabia and respect their way of living. Travel is about self-enrichment and experience. And show a new perspective on life.

Totally agree. Western societies should stop patronizing, subjugating and insisting on all othes to adhere to western life style.

[@nbach2202]

@Imperial123 operative word aka. Western society should enjoy western lifestyles and a thinking process. The same goes for all others who want to enjoy their way of lifestyle . It's that simple, or should have been simple. No wars, no pressure, no sanctions from a self appointed police of the world ie. USA.

[@cristiansantos6267]

I've always wanted to visit! Despite the countrys strict laws, I would love to see the history and beautiful sites. I think its a great idea to open up to tourists but I agree that they should respect the way Saudi people live. There is no need to change the laws for westerners, if they don't like then don't visit. Its not that hard to give up a little for a good holiday!

[@spiritualantiseptic]

I'd say the same should apply to every country. You want your home to stay your home and guests should be able to accommodate if they want to visit at all.

@Ahmed Almutairi Yes you're changing and we acknowledge that but why make an exaggerated claim. I've been to Saudi Arabia. Also it's strange that people in Saudi Arabia take pride in portraying change while claiming to have a superior culture at the same time. In that case why now tilt towards an inferior culture of the Western world. You have so many conflicting attitudes and aspirations. You need to RATIONALISE!

When I hear news like these I don’t really care whether the author was paid or not. Even as a gay man I think that going to a place like Saudi would help build bridges in some way if you travel responsibly and make sure that you can explore by yourself. Denying this country’s heritage can only be a result of ignorance. Millions of people live there. Not all can be bad and/or wrong (trivial), but knowing the ways on which that is true is where the excitement comes from. Travel is a tool to build peace.

Have you read it? I am reading it and I don’t see any major problems in the Quran itself. Liberal Muslims believe that homosexuality is ok, and their theologically grounded interpretation is ok.

FYI As far as I know, The Saudis never do it to discriminate women, in fact they do it to Respect their women, they intend to keep their Women as safe and Noble as possible. Like QUEENS. Random men cannot see, touch and mingle with QUEENS. Don't consume the negative narration the western media's often offer.

momochan I don’t know about the nationality of workers but I’m sure about two things 1-they’re mostly not educated (no degrees i mean), 2-their own country can’t employ them .. so if Arabs or Europeans employ them & made them afford to live a decent life then I guess Arabs & others are actually helping them .. yes most Saudi may don’t work at same job but that due their options while these some workers from South Asia may have only one option which is good in most cases specially when you compare to their own countries (like Bangladesh or India ..etc) so I think it’s not fair to just blame Saudis or any other nationalities also the Saudis I’ve met were different some are white with blue eyes some regular Arabs with fair skin and brown or hazel eyes and there’s blacks also actually I’ve met some Asian like Saudi (I feel like this comment becoming a bit racist sorry but just to show the Saudis were different so I don’t think race was an issue) I don’t think they’re mostly racist because they’re different not all of them are blonde nor black maybe it’s more about classism thing like in every nation we’re rich may look down on poor people it’s not a race or nationality thing I guess .. but who knows!

[@rajamohamed9864]

Big Baba You asked yourself how was your sand land before the “kingdom” was bestowed in Saudi Arabia, by the Brits, how hungry Saudis were, they would take Yemeni soil to put on their land but it would blow back to Yemen, how Yemen was before the presidency of Ali Abdullah Saleh, the first loser to rule Yemen and destroy the honorable land, how Yemen was under the succession of Ibrahim, the rich, incomparable history of Yemen, the blessings that came from Yemen, mocha coffee, which Ali gave to the UAE ..I could go on & on..don’t try that

[@rajamohamed9864]

mina kim You ever came across versus in the Quran when Ibrahim called out to God while building the Kaaba saying “my Lord enrich this land with fruits, whoever believes, and whoever disbelieves grant them enjoyment for the time being”..Saudi Arabia is most certainly in that state now, granted enjoyment for the worldly life being. False wealth (paper money) is backed by Saudi oil, as soon as it goes down, so will your “wealth”..Don’t claim Gods blessings with false wealth, God knows, you do not. Iran has nothing to do with Saudi bombs on Yemen, talk that shit for the ignorant, you and I both know what’s going on

oh my god the amount of ignorance in the comments.. as a saudi woman i can honestly say that saudi arabia is changing to the better and it’s taking a major step into modrenizing the country in ways such as changing the education system,changing the rulers and the people in charge and changing the law, the change is so clear and obvious i could see it with my own eyes but ofcourse the western media and the propaganda is a never ending love story and what’s funnier is that the people in the comments the only way they get their sources and information about saudi arabia is from the western media so i don’t expect nothing.. perhaps go there and judge it with your own eyes rather than just being a smartass who think that saudi arabia is shutting down their tourist plans just because you don’t want to visit them😔

As of late, I’ve been more interested in visiting the real Mt. Sinai , Mt Horeb (jebel Laws), and the split rock of Moses.

As a Saudi I wouldn't suggest anyone to go there unless they are interested in the beautiful Kaabah in Makkah or to start a new life full of the Islam's best friendly and healthy behaviors and being a brother of all muslims that doesn't only live this life but life and the afterlife together, but as I've said Saudi Arabia isn't really good for tourists right now but you can still join Islam's religion everywhere on the planet.

Saudia is a very beautiful country , I'm living in Saudia from last 4 years , the only problem here is getting a tourist visa which is very much difficult if not impossible at least for Pakistanis.
