There are few places in the world that could be described as outside the reaches of tourism, and Saudi Arabia may be one of them. Images of desert adventures or smoky souks are only one side of this eclectic country, known as the birthplace of Islam. This trip will introduce a Saudi Arabia of lush mountains, chaotic camel markets, mouth-watering food and a history that spans prehistoric rock art, the ancient spice trade and Lawrence's Arabian deserts.
