Eid Ul Adha is only days away now, and if you haven’t finalized a location yet, this list can help. Whether you seek adventure, tranquility, or cultural immersion, these handpicked locations will captivate your senses and create lasting memories. Get ready to embark on a journey through Saudi Arabia’s most enchanting destinations during this festive season.
1. AlUla
AlUla, known for its ancient heritage and stunning landscapes, continues to surprise visitors with its evolving offerings. While winter is typically the season for events in AlUla, the place still has plenty to offer during the summer. Among the latest additions is the Giant Swing, where you can swing hundreds of feet above the ground amidst the picturesque canyons of AlUla.
2. Abha
If you’re seeking respite from the scorching heat, Abha is the ideal destination. Abha’s famous jacaranda trees are currently in full bloom, so you’ll be in for some purple rain if you walk in the streets under the jacaranda-lined trees.
