Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Saudi Arabia: What to know before you visit

Do you want to see a red planet? Then, you don’t have to wait until next year when Big Falcon Rocket is projected to take you to Mars. From April this year, tourists can enter this desert kingdom, Saudi Arabia. You might not know the fact that Saudi hasn’t been open for tourists since its establishment in 1932, even though over 20% of the population are foreign citizens and millions of religious pilgrims visit Mecca, a holy city for Muslims, every year.

Now you can see the famous camel contest and racing, taste camel burgers, and enjoy a desert scenery on a camel. The kingdom is projecting to welcome 30 million visitors by 2030, up twelve million from 2016.

Indeed, the conservative kingdom is opening opportunities for its citizens, too. Movie theaters are reopening, females are going to be allowed to drive on the street and watch sports games in stadiums. 

Just a few reminders. Women need to be 25 and older or accompanied by their husband or male family to get a tourist visa. Also, no alcohol is allowed, even on the plane or in hotels. Lastly but not the least, wear conservatively and avoid exposing your skin.

Do you want to check other restrictions and requirements to visit Saudi or Mars?

Enjoy reading and think if you want to be one of the first wave of visitors to this aggressively changing this conservative oil-rich kingdom.
