Saudi Arabia, a mysterious country located on the Arabian Peninsula, is attracting global attention with its unique culture and modern style. As the birthplace of Islam, the two holy cities of Mecca and Medina carry profound religious heritage, while cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah showcase the rapidly developing modernization landscape of Saudi Arabia.

The capital Riyadh is not only the political and economic center of Saudi Arabia, but also renowned for its innovative architecture. More than 60 modern buildings stand tall in the King Abdullah Financial District, covering an area of over 1.6 million square meters; The world's longest unmanned subway system, the 176 kilometer Riyadh Metro, runs through the city, connecting commercial and cultural landmarks; The center of the 302.3 meter high king is shaped like a "bottle opener", with a top observation deck overlooking the entire city. In addition, the glass ball revolving restaurant in Afashaliata and the Fahd King National Library, which blends old and new styles, have become the city's new business cards.

Historical relics are equally dazzling. The ancient city of Delaiye was once the capital of the First Saudi Dynasty and is now listed as a World Cultural Heritage site; The thick adobe walls and watchtowers of Masmak Fortress tell the story of their past resistance against foreign enemies; The Cliff of the World, with its 300 meter cliffs and endless desert landscapes, has become a coveted destination for adventure enthusiasts.

The convenience of tourism in Saudi Arabia is constantly improving. Tourists can apply for an electronic visa of 402.21 riyals through the official website, or choose a landing visa of 395 riyals (30 day single visit). Nowadays, Saudi Arabia is inviting the world to explore the infinite possibilities of this desert kingdom with the charm of intertwining tradition and modernity.
