J'ai récemment eu l'occasion de participer à un voyage organisé par une Elsa en Turquie, et je tiens à partager mon expérience. Nous avons visité Istanbul et la Cappadoce entre amis pour la semaine du nouvel an, et tout était vraiment incroyable ! Tout d'abord, l'organisation était impeccable. Chaque détail avait été soigneusement planifié, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de notre séjour sans stress. Les activités étaient variées et bien choisies, offrant un bel équilibre entre, histoire et moments de détente. Nous avons séjourné dans un hôtel bien situé, proches de toutes commodités et des visites que nous avions prévues de faire comme la mosquée Sophia, mosquée Bleue, les citernes… etc ce qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable. En Cappadoce nous avons eu un hôtel vraiment typique, propre avec une vue imprenable sur le levé du soleil et les montgolfières qui s’élèvent sur la ville le matin. L’hôte était de bons conseils et très serviable. Tout était parfait. Je tiens également à remercier notre organisatrice pour sa disponibilité et son professionnalisme. Grâce à elle, nous avons découvert des magnifiques endroits et vécu des moments mémorables entre amis . Je la recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à explorer ces magnifiques régions de Turquie !

Cities to Saudi Arabia

Why Choose Custom Travel in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia today represents one of the most fascinating destinations in the Middle East for travelers seeking authenticity. Long closed to international tourism, this kingdom of 2.15 million square kilometers is gradually opening up to visitors since 2019, revealing unexpected treasures. Opting for custom travel in Saudi Arabia allows you to explore this unique destination in complete serenity, away from traditional circuits.

Our Travel Planners specialized in the region understand the cultural and logistical subtleties of this transforming country. They design your trip to Saudi according to your wishes, whether you wish to discover the Nabatean archaeological sites, immerse yourself in Bedouin culture, or explore the ultra-modern metropolises. This personalized approach guarantees an authentic experience while respecting the local codes and specificities of this emerging destination.

Responsible tourism makes sense here: traveling in small groups or with family minimizes the impact on local communities while allowing for privileged exchanges with locals. Our custom trips encourage these authentic encounters, essential for understanding the rich Saudi culture.

What to Discover During Your Custom Stay in Saudi Arabia?

Your custom trip in Saudi Arabia will take you through surprisingly diverse landscapes, from ancient ruins to contemporary architectural innovations.

Al-Ula and the Nabatean Wonders

Al-Ula is undoubtedly the archaeological jewel of Saudi Arabia. This oasis in the northwest of the country is home to Hegra, the former Nabatean city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. Your Travel Planners organize private tours of these 111 monumental tombs carved into the red sandstone, witnesses to a flourishing civilization over 2000 years ago.

The Al-Ula experience is not limited to Nabatean ruins. Your customized travel guide may include the exploration of Jabal Ikmah, a true "open-air library" with its thousands of rock inscriptions, or the exploration of the spectacular rock formations of Elephant Rock. Nights under the stars in the Al-Ula desert offer moments of rare intensity, perfect for an unforgettable honeymoon.

Riyadh and Jeddah, Between Tradition and Modernity

Riyadh, the capital with 7 million inhabitants, symbolizes Saudi ambition in the 21st century. Your custom stay may include a visit to the historic district of Diriyah, the cradle of the Saudi dynasty, listed as a UNESCO heritage site. The contrast is striking between these mud-brick constructions and the futuristic skyscrapers of the King Abdullah Financial District.

Jeddah, the historical gateway to Mecca, charms with its unique architectural heritage. Al-Balad, the old city with coral houses and carved latticework, reveals the merchant soul of this port city. Our travel specialists organize walks through traditional souks and meetings with local artisans, enriching your understanding of Saudi culture.

Desert Landscapes and the Red Sea

The Rub al-Khali desert, the largest sand expanse in the world with 650,000 square kilometers, offers unique experiences. Your Travel Planners design 4x4 excursions to the most spectacular dunes, highlighted by traditional bivouacs and encounters with Bedouin communities.

The Red Sea coast reveals another face of Saudi Arabia. Spanning 1,800 kilometers, it is home to preserved coral reefs and white sand beaches. Your custom trip may include diving or snorkeling sessions in crystal clear waters, revealing an exceptional marine biodiversity. Emerging tourist projects like NEOM are gradually transforming this region into a luxury seaside destination.
