Saudi Arabia is an amazing country that has beautiful desert landscapes and the pride of being the birthplace of Islam. The country is an extremely important and spiritual place for Muslim people, as the home to Mecca and Medina, which are both forbidden for non-muslims. However, there are plenty of other amazing places to visit within the country and the country has become more tourist frie
