Europe is home to several countries but Saudis have suddenly started to develop a liking for this particular one. In fact, they are loving<\/a> it so much that many are buying residential properties in the country.<\/p>\n

Located in the Balkans, the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina has suddenly seen a surge of tourists<\/a> coming in from Saudi Arabia. While there can be many reasons for that here are some of the main ones. Read on.<\/p>\n

1. The country is home to vast tracts of unspoiled nature<\/h3>\n

2. You can literally go up in the mountains and probably breathe the cleanest air that you have ever breathed<\/h3>\n

4. That also means that Halal food is like almost literally everywhere \u2013 now where else can you get something like that in Europe?<\/h3>\n

5. Saudis have a pretty long connection with the Bosnians, in fact, the largest mosque in the country was made by the Saudi government<\/h3>\n

6. Seeing the huge amounts of tourists from the Gulf one would find that in many places signboards are written in Arabic<\/h3>\n
\n

#Bosnia<\/a> is full of Arab tourists especially from the Gulf, therefore u c some signs written in #Arabic<\/a>. Some r perfect & some r in funny, transcribed Arabic. Interestingly, some guests leave comments in Arabic re accommodation knowing that the hosts won\u2019t understand it \ud83d\ude42 pic.twitter.com\/Akd4HFLo1W<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Lastly, there are like rivers everywhere, which is a thing that we don\u2019t have in Saudi (Yup, Saudi does not have a river \u2013 not a single one)<\/h3>\n
