The United Kingdom doesn't need a big introduction — London is a city you already know before you visit from all the films and TV shows you've grown up with 🎬. But what you don't know is that outside London, there's a completely different world: Edinburgh with its misty castles, the Cotswolds countryside, and historic Cardiff. For the Saudi traveler, the UK is a comfortable destination — Arabic speakers are nearly everywhere, and the shopping never ends 🛍️.

Top Places to See

London — Big Ben and Tower Bridge

The icons you've seen a thousand times — but seeing them with your own eyes is a completely different feeling, especially at night

A castle in the middle of a living city — the Scottish mist and mysterious atmosphere make it one of Britain's most beautiful sights

Oxford and Cambridge

Universities centuries old whose streets speak of the history of human knowledge and thought

The Cotswolds Countryside

Stone villages amid green fields — among the most beautiful areas of the English countryside, worth a full day

Practical Tips

1

The ETA visa for Saudis is available electronically for £10 — apply at least a day before traveling

2

The weather is very unpredictable — bring a light jacket even in summer, rain can come without warning at any time ☂️

3

An Oyster Card or a fee-free bank card works on all transport in London — much easier than cash

4

London's major museums (British Museum, Victoria and Albert) are free — make full use of them

5

Primark and Marks & Spencer for affordable clothes, and Harrods for the luxury experience even if you don't buy anything 😄

The United Kingdom blends history and modernity in a way you won't find anywhere else 🇬🇧 — from medieval castles to the world's most cutting-edge restaurants, all within hours of each other. Plan your trip and don't limit yourself to just London!
