Ever heard of Trabzon? In fact, that was the case for most of us until recently. But somehow Saudi tourists developed an inkling for this small town in Turkey and every other person you meet is talking about how amazing they found Trabzon to be.

So what is it about this town that made it so popular amongst Saudis? Well, there are many reasons for that and here are a few of them.

1. The ticket prices are cheap – sometimes they are as low as SAR 1,000 for a return ticket from Jeddah.

5. Then there is the picturesque Uzungöl, which is a lake that sits high up in the mountains.

6. Hotels are pretty cheap too. You can get a decent hotel for almost half the price that you’d have to pay for something similar in most other tourist hubs in Europe.

8. Food is halal everywhere and the food is so amazing that you’d become hooked to Turkish food.
