Important for Acceptance into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:

In the past years travel to the Kingdom was not allowed with Israeli stamps in your passport. That is no longer the case as of today.

Be advised that you will be fingerprinted and undergo a retinal scan upon arrival in the country.

The country is undergoing a remarkable restoration and we cannot predict if a site might be under construction. Be sure to study the artificial intelligence-operated area called NEOM. Our travels will take us into the middle area of it.

Important Travel Details:

The trip is not considered “active” unless it is something you want to participate in.  If you do want to participate in an activity, there are opportunities on two of the Saudi expedition days. This means that, if you choose the extension to hike (or climb), there are three days that provide the opportunity to do so. If you are not looking for activity, just know that walking is on fairly normal surfaces. You do not need to climb up Mount Sinai or sit inside the Split Rock of Horeb to enjoy the sites.

There are some extensive off-road drives within Saudi (2-3 hours). Our lodging in Tabuk is in a 4-star Western-style hotel with all amenities, our Red Sea hotel is a brand-new luxury hotel and is perched above the Red Sea in an amazing location for fellowship and views. You have an option on the core extension of spending one night camping at the base of Jabal al-Lawz. Those who don’t wish to camp will return to this Red Sea hotel that night. 90% of all transportation is in Toyota Land Cruisers or equivalent. All the services meet our high standards, and you will be very comfortable and well pleased. We obtain a visa on your behalf approximately 32 days prior to departure.

Traveling Single:

We match roommates! If you are a single person or traveling alone, we do have others who would like to travel with us without paying the single supplement. We assign roommates approximately 2 weeks prior to departure. We cannot guarantee it, but it has worked well for many. Learn more here.
