Planning the ultimate girls’ trip? Look no further than Saudi Arabia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re soaking up the highland views in Abha, exploring Jeddah\u2019s historic charm, diving into Riyadh\u2019s bustling scene, or admiring the natural beauty of AlUla<\/a>, Saudi Arabia is brimming with experiences perfect for you and your besties.<\/p>\n

Here are four dazzling destinations to explore in the Kingdom with your besties.<\/p>\n

Abha<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nestled at over 7,000 feet in the majestic Sarawat Mountains in the Aseer region in southwestern KSA, Abha is a picturesque paradise waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n

The highlands of Abha make for an excellent summer trip as temperatures are lower as compared to other parts of the kingdom, at around 30\u00b0C in the hotter months on average.<\/p>\n

Imagine wandering through fog-kissed valleys, marvelling at ancient castles, and diving into the vibrant world of Qatt Al Aseeri, a traditional art form crafted by women from natural colours that can be seen adorning houses in the area And don\u2019t forget to meet the Flower Men of Aseer, who sport floral wreaths with unmatched flair. It\u2019s the perfect place to snap some Insta-worthy pictures and take home unique souvenirs.<\/p>\n

Jeddah<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jeddah<\/a>\u2019s historic district, Al Balad, is a treasure trove of narrow alleys, ancient homes, and bustling souks. This UNESCO heritage site, with its coral stone buildings and intricate latticed windows called rawasheen, is like stepping into a living museum.<\/p>\n

After a day of exploring, reward yourself with a fresh treat from Saidi Bakery. For those craving a touch of modernity, the Mall of Arabia and Red Sea Mall are shopping havens that blend the best of fashion, food, and fun.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Riyadh<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The vibrant capital is a thrilling blend of past and present. Towering skyscrapers, such as the 99-story sky bridge, contrast beautifully with historical gems like the 150-year-old Al Masmak Fortress. Shopping enthusiasts will adore the bustling Souk Al Zal, the city\u2019s oldest traditional market that holds 100 years of history.<\/p>\n

If you and the girls want to relax after a day of exploring with some entertainment and shopping, the Riyadh Park Mall is home to an IMAX cinema and arcade and recharging at one of Riyadh\u2019s chic caf\u00e9s, perfect for a stylish pit stop amid your adventures is always an option.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

AlUla<\/strong><\/h3>\n

AlUla, in the Al Madinah region, is a captivating blend of history and adventure. Once a vital trade hub on the ancient Incense Route, AlUla boasts the stunning UNESCO site of Hegra, with 111 tombs carved into sandstone cliffs.<\/p>\n

This vast landscape is perfect for stargazing, hiking, and even ziplining. For a touch of culture, visit Maraya Concert Hall, a dazzling mirrored structure that hosts concerts and performances, adding a modern twist to this ancient region. AlUla also boasts top hotels such as the Banyan Tree AlUla<\/a> and Our Habitas AlUla nestled in the serene mountains, making it the ultimate spot for those who crave both adventure and relaxation.<\/p>\n
