6 free things to do in Saudi Arabia

Looking for things to do in Saudi Arabia without blowing your budget? Here are some ideas to get you started.

  • Walk to the Edge of the World

    When you reach the top of this cliff, you’ll feel like you’ve climbed to, well, the edge of the world – a remarkable panoramic view of the surrounding desert landscape awaits.

  • Take pictures of Al-Balad

    This historical area of Jeddah dates back to the seventh century and is now home to numerous shops and cafes. Head here for a break — and to fill your Instagram reel.

  • See King Fahd’s Fountain

    This record-breaking Jeddah landmark is the tallest water fountain in the world, shooting 260m into the air. The best views of the fountain can be found along the Alhamra Corniche.   

  • Stroll by the sea in Jeddah

    A nice breeze, a good view of the city and a peaceful walking area mean the Jeddah Corniche is always worth a visit.

  • See the sunset at Elephant Rock

    This structure in AlUla is a monument to the artistry of the environment. The natural rock formation is 52-meters tall and, come sunset, is dusted in orange and gold light.

  • Go mall hopping

    This is a good way to get some exercise in. Whether you want to window shop or speed walk, the temperature-controlled spaces make for ideal hangouts.
