Edge of the World:
Located just a few hours from Riyadh, the Edge of the World is one of Saudi Arabia’s most iconic natural landmarks. It offers sweeping views over the vast desert plains that seem to stretch endlessly. The terrains are especially striking at time of sunrise and sunset, when the shifting light transforms the landscape into shades of gold and amber. This is a must-visit for travelers seeking to experience Saudi’s dramatic geology and capture its raw, unfiltered beauty.
AlUla:
AlUla is home to monumental sandstone formations and UNESCO World Heritage sites. With Elephant Rock, Raqasat Valley (The Dancing Rocks), Hegra, Jabal Ikmah, Maraya, this place provides an extraordinary backdrop for photography. At night, the stargazing experiences in AlUla transform the desert sky into a canvas of constellations, making it as captivating after dark as it is by day.
The Red Sea:
The Red Sea’s crystal-clear waters are a paradise for aquatic adventures. It offers world-class diving and snorkelling opportunities, with vibrant coral reefs and marine life waiting to be explored. Along its coast, luxury resorts like Nujuma – a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Six Senses Southern Dunes, and The St. Regis Red Sea Resort blend comfort with breathtaking views. Together, they transform the Red Sea into a perfect destination for unforgettable experiences.
Jeddah:
Jeddah’s historic district, Al-Balad, mesmerizes visitors with its unique architecture, perfect for sightseeing. The ultimate spectacle of King Fahd’s Fountain also astonishes visitors as the tallest fountain in the world.

Adding a modern touch, team Lab Borderless Jeddah brings art to life with light, color, and imagination.
