For all the flat earthers out there, we found the edge of the world! Turns out it’s in Saudi Arabia ??? Feeling so lucky to be a part of this exciting event, as Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists for the first time. This beautiful country has so much to offer. I’m so grateful to be here and to see what’s to come. @visitsaudi #WelcomeToArabia #sponsored

[Werbung] The last couple of days I had the incredible chance to explore the amazing landscapes of @visitsaudi and they left me speechless. For example the area of maiden saleh with this incredible canyon! Sceneries I haven’t expected to be found in the desert with astonishing history as well. Such as the old village in the area of Al Ula. #WelcomeToArabia ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #stayandwander #saudiarabia #desert #weroamabroad #passionpassport #maidensaleh #alula #roamtheplanet

SAUDI ARABIA ?? @visitsaudi ad One of my goals for this year was to learn, experience and be open minded about other countries and cultures. Every place has such a unique story. Saudi Arabia is opening to tourists from across the world for the first time. There is a lot changing within the country. The hospitality, warmth and vibrant culture has made me appreciate this country and all of its beauty. I was not sure what to expect traveling here, but being here has brought me a new sincere appreciation for this place! ? #WelcomeToArabia

Touring the historic area of #Jeddah. Al Balad is an @unesco World Heritage site & many of the buildings are over a century old. It’s an extraordinary place to visit, full of warm, welcoming residents, funky coffee shops, mini art galleries & hundreds of cats ☕️????? Thank you @tryanostore for my lovely #abaya – I’m still choosing to wear mine, although strictly speaking it’s no longer required for foreign women to put them on. @visitsaudiar #visitsaudi #albalad #history #tourism #traveljourno #saudiarabia #welcometoarabia

#ad I’ve always had a love and affinity for deserts, to see the #ArabianDesert first hand is an experience I won’t soon forget. My friend and guide Ali Al-Ailigi is seen here high above the landscape taking in the beauty of this place in the early morning warmth of sunrise. This cliff-line is part of the #Tuwaiq escarpment which extends unbroken for over 800km from Al-Qasim in the north to the Empty Quarter desert in the south. What it reveals as you look out is a lifetime of exploration. I’ve spent the last 2 days enjoying Saudi Arabia and I’m only beginning to scratch the surface of this beautiful and unique part of the world. @visitSaudi #WelcomeToArabia
