Just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia, finally checked off the country of wealth from my bucket list, and found that it was quite different from my stereotype. Take Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, for example. It is a modern city with a "money" power that rises in the heart of the desert. I have summarized 6 must-visit places in and around the city. If you are planning a trip, you can go directly after reading this guide! ▫️ 💚%Arabica It is said to be the largest %Arabica in the world. Most malls and restaurants in Riyadh open after 12:00 pm, but this coffee shop opens at 7:00 am. If you want to take photos with no one around, I suggest you go early. The interior of the building is pure white, which looks very stylish. It has two floors, with a U-shaped coffee bar in the atrium, a glass curtain wall of the roasting workshop, and a viewing seat upstairs, all of which are great for taking photos. ▫️ 💚Kingdom Tower It is currently the tallest building in Riyadh, and it looks like a bottle opener from a distance (friends from Shanghai should understand, haha). The shape of the building is designed to withstand the wind and sand in the desert and to resemble the way locals dress in robes. The Kingdom Tower has 99 floors in total, and the sky bridge on the top floor offers a panoramic view of Riyadh. ▫️ 💚National Museum Museum lovers should not miss it. The museum has a total of 8 exhibition halls and more than 4,000 exhibits. The garden in the courtyard and the park outside the museum are like oases in the yellow sand of Riyadh, which is refreshing. ▫️ 💚Diriyah Diriyah is the former site of the Saudi dynasty and a UNESCO-certified must-visit place in Saudi Arabia. Admission is free before 5:00 pm every day, and a 50 riyal ticket is required after 5:00 pm, but it can be used for dining in the ancient city. The most famous building in the ancient city is Turaif in the center. When the lights come on in the evening, the whole ancient city looks mysterious and beautiful. ▫️ 💚Edge of the World It is about a 2-hour drive from downtown Riyadh, and the second half of the road is a difficult dirt road, so it is not recommended to drive there by yourself. Here you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over the desert and the Gobi Desert, as well as the spectacular rock formations, which is a must-see attraction in Saudi Arabia in my mind.

I'm not kidding, Egypt is really photogenic! 📸 Egyptians are also like E people 😂 All the habibis we met were so enthusiastic Our guide loved to joke, and we laughed all day long For a niche tour in Egypt 🇪🇬, Fayoum Whale Valley is really nice 🐳 Round trip from Cairo on the same day, the camp is very photogenic ⛺️ The local driver took us speeding through the desert in an off-road vehicle Whale Valley is like another planet 🌍 We saw fossils of whales and other marine life It's hard to imagine that millions of years ago this was the ocean 🌊 🇪🇬 Egypt is a visa on arrival, USD 25/person. I read online that you need to bring USD 2,000 in cash, but we weren't checked when we entered, and the visa was issued smoothly 💰 You can exchange some Egyptian pounds at the airport, the exchange rate is quite normal, and you can get change, really small change 😂 🍴 The lunch prepared at the camp was very delicious! It was very Arabic, and I could accept the taste of the spices~
