Saudi Arabia has long been thought of as barren land, offering only sand and camels. This is simply not the case. Saudi Arabia has what is known as closed borders?, meaning you are not able to obtain a tourist visa to enter the country. Only those traveling for work or business may obtain a visa to enter. We believe that it is the lack of exposure of this beautiful country to the rest of the world, that has led to such myths.
