Reviews of Small Group tours to Saudi Arabia
- Behind the curtain of the spiritual Islam: A glance of Saudi Arabia
Great experience! Our guides were so helpful and knowledgeable, and really made sure that we all had a memorable time. We got to do so much in such a small amount of time, and with a small group we felt like we got a really unique experience. Can't wait to travel with Penguin again!

What our customers ask about Saudi Arabia Small Group Tours
What is the best part of Saudi Arabia to explore with a small group?
The Al-Ula region stands out as an ideal destination for small groups with its rich blend of history and natural landscapes. The area's crown jewel Hegra (also known as Madain Saleh) features more than 130 rock tombs carved into desert cliffs. Visitors can explore the ancient Dadanite ruins and natural formations like Elephant Rock without the crowds that often come with larger tours. The region's intimate desert camps serve as comfortable bases for exploration while maintaining an authentic atmosphere. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The highlights were the two full days spent exploring the UNESCO sites of Al-Ula and encounters with locals in and around the Old Town!"
What unique experiences can I expect on a small group tour in Saudi Arabia?
Small group tours unlock access to experiences that larger groups simply can't accommodate. Travelers can spend nights at private desert camps in Wadi Disah join pottery workshops in Riyadh and share meals with local families. The tours include guided visits to UNESCO sites like Hegra exploration of traditional markets in Al-Balad and authentic dining experiences in Saudi homes. Properties like the Madkhil Camp in Al-Ula and Hilton Riyadh provide convenient bases for visiting key sites including the Edge of the World and Elephant Rock. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Our small group size allowed us to have dinner with local families and learn traditional crafts that wouldn't be possible with larger groups."
What is the typical duration and route for a small group tour in Saudi Arabia?
The standard small group tour spans 8 days beginning in coastal Jeddah and concluding in Riyadh. Most itineraries start with three nights at the Holiday Inn Jeddah Gateway followed by two nights at the Shaden Resort in AlUla and three final nights at the Holiday Inn Riyadh al Qasr. Domestic flights connect Jeddah to AlUla and Madinah to Riyadh allowing groups to experience both ancient sites like Hegra and contemporary landmarks such as the Kingdom Tower efficiently.
How do meal arrangements work on small group tours in Saudi Arabia?
Tour packages include daily hotel breakfasts and several group dinners featuring local Saudi dishes. Dining highlights often include meals at the Al Joud family citrus farm in Al-Ula traditional Bedouin lunches in Wadi Disah and dinners at heritage restaurants in Riyadh. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The small group size meant we could dine at authentic local restaurants rather than tourist spots making the culinary experience much more genuine."
What is the best time to take a small group tour in Saudi Arabia?
Plan your visit between October and March when temperatures are most suitable for outdoor exploration in regions like Al-Ula and Wadi Disah. These months provide comfortable conditions for visiting archaeological sites like Madain Saleh and taking desert excursions. Leading tour operators including DERTOUR and Intrepid Travel schedule most of their small group departures during this period to ensure pleasant conditions for both city and desert activities.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a small group tour in Saudi Arabia?
Accommodations blend 4-star hotels with authentic desert camps. In Al-Ula groups often stay at the Sahary Al-Ula Resort known for its traditional mud-brick design and private terraces. City stays include properties like the Radisson Blu or Centro Olaya by Rotana in Riyadh. A TourRadar traveler commented: "The accommodation was superb. I was impressed with the quality of hotels selected for the tour especially the desert camp experience in Al-Ula."
