Saudi Arabia in November – Hegra, Riyadh & AlUla

Hi! I'm Anna from Florence, 30 years old, and I've planned a week and a half in Saudi Arabia for November 2027. Rough route: Hegra, Riyadh, AlUla, Jeddah. The core idea is a round trip – so lots of desert, a bit of culture, and if time permits, also architecture. I prefer small and personal accommodations, more like boutique hotels than large chains. It's important to me not to tick boxes: I'd rather linger in one place if it feels right, explore local markets, and strike up conversations with people. I'm relaxed, up early, and enjoy sitting at a table in the evening with a glass of wine or tea. Language-wise, Italian/English works perfectly. I'm looking for a female travel buddy – we don't have to be together 24/7. Sharing meals, a day trip, or a hike together is perfectly enough. If this sounds like you, feel free to get in touch.
