8 Reasons Why Saudis Are Visiting This Small European Country By The Thousands
Europe is home to several countries but Saudis have suddenly started to develop a liking for this particular one. In fact, they are loving it so much that many are buying residential properties in the country.
Located in the Balkans, the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina has suddenly seen a surge of tourists coming in from Saudi Arabia. While there can be many reasons for that here are some of the main ones. Read on.
1. The country is home to vast tracts of unspoiled nature

5. Saudis have a pretty long connection with the Bosnians, in fact, the largest mosque in the country was made by the Saudi government

6. Seeing the huge amounts of tourists from the Gulf one would find that in many places signboards are written in Arabic
#Bosnia is full of Arab tourists especially from the Gulf, therefore u c some signs written in #Arabic. Some r perfect & some r in funny, transcribed Arabic. Interestingly, some guests leave comments in Arabic re accommodation knowing that the hosts won’t understand it 🙂 pic.twitter.com/Akd4HFLo1W

8. Lastly, there are like rivers everywhere, which is a thing that we don’t have in Saudi (Yup, Saudi does not have a river – not a single one)
