Saudi Arabia is one of the best tourist destinations around the globe. It is of no surprise that people stream their way to Riyadh to experience the magic of a marvelous country. Saudi Arabia has experienced a considerable period of socioeconomic, and political stability that has enabled to become one of the coveted economic powerhouses in the globe.

The paper documents some of the exemplary features that have helped elevate Saudi as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. First of all, it describes the lifestyle of the people of Saudi by first highlighting about their hospitality to visitors or tourists. People in Saudi are amicable and often welcome tourists or expatriates. It also elaborates on the highly disciplined culture of the Saudi people that is maintained by the Sharia laws. These particular Islamic laws govern the way people live and act in Saudi.

The exquisite malls and shopping centers are only but the start of one’s beautiful venture in Saudi. Saudi is also characterized by beautiful weather, especially in Riyadh, which is also quite attractive. The gardens and parks, as well as hotels, are not only remarkable but also simply out of this world.

Overall, these factors make Riyadh and Saudi Arabia as a whole one of the best places to live.

The lifestyle in this part of the world is mainly governed by the Sharia laws, because the country is an exclusively Islamic state. Sharia laws govern everything including the way people dress, the foods they eat, and the overall lifestyles of Saudi Arabia citizens. As a tourist, however, one can only admire the lifestyle of the Saudi people. Starting from the exquisite, beautiful malls where one can enjoy a variety of services such as shopping and even eating ADDIN CSL_CITATION { “citationItems” : [ { “id” : “ITEM-1”, “itemData” : { “DOI” : “10.1108/S2042-1443(2010)0000002010”, “ISBN” : “2042-1443”, “ISSN” : “01607383”, “abstract” : “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia provides an interesting case study of a Middle Easterncountry that has begun to exploit its potential as a destination.

The malls in Saudi are second to none. That is why many tourists stream into the country to buy themselves not only quality but also cheap products. In addition to that, Riyadh has one of the best parks and large gardens that often attract married couples on honeymoon or vacation. Modern state-of-the-art hotel facilities further complement these parks and gardens. In fact, it is illogical to compare hotels in Riyadh to any other in the world. Finally, Riyadh cannot be described without the inclusion of its beautiful social life. Good picnics at different desert oases characterize the social life. That is why Saudi Arabia stands in the middle of the Middle East. It is arguably the biggest nation in the Arabic peninsula with the best exotic destinations. To sum everything up from the above description life in Saudi is nothing short of exemplary. This paper, therefore, seeks to explain the way of life that people lead in Saudi. It also elaborates on the exotic destinations that have elevated Saudi as one of the best tourist destinations.
