Our journey through Saudi first brings us to AlUla - a place that will soon be the tourist centre of Saudi Arabia! Until now it’s more of an insider tip… We visit the largest mirrored building on earth: the majestic Maraya concert hall! We stroll through AlUlas Old Town and watch the sunset over the tombs of Hegra.

Saudi fascinates us from the first moment, we overland this country and at first hand witness the major shifts that are happening at the moment. Within a few years women are allowed to take their drivers licence test, first international artists play concerts and travellers from (almost) all over the world are welcomed to visit Saudi.

Everything is opening, but we also feel how not being veiled as a woman and driving a car is still a little strange and exotic.

We hope that we could give you some nice insights into our journey! We made this little video for friends and family, travel lovers and maybe just for ourselves in a few years to remember our journey through moving images.

See you soon, Millo & Nouki :)
