5 things to do in Saudi Arabia

When visiting Saudi Arabia you can't miss trying out Kabsa, the country's national food. It's a spiced rice based dish with tender chicken. It's often served with Shattah, a very hot sauce.
2. Experience the desert
The Arabic desert offers a big variety of activities that could make everyone get along. From camel riding, to Arabian camping to dune bashing... the desert will really make you live the most authentic and truthful Arabic experience.
3. Visit mosques
Saudi Arabia is literally home to Islam, as its founder Muhammad was born in Makkah, the holiest city for Muslims.
