I’m an award-winning freelance travel writer — the only one in the world with a full-time focus on Saudi Arabia.

I’m the main contributor covering the Kingdom for Condé Nast Traveller Middle East (see my latest stories here) and global titles like Arab News, The National and Cathay Pacific’s in-flight magazine. More widely, my work has been published by The Washington Post, the BBC, The Telegraph, the Daily Mail, The Sun and dozens of other outlets.

Using deep knowledge and a wide network of contacts gleaned through years living in Saudi Arabia, I write everything from thoroughly researched lists to features on arthouse cinema and lesser-explored districts, ‘First In’ reviews of new hotels and news stories on more sensitive topics like the evolution of Christmas in the country.

I spend several months each year exploring the Kingdom – from places like AlUla, Qassim, Aseer and the Red Sea to Saudi’s larger cities like Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam – and place a strong focus on featuring local voices in my reporting. I’m also a photographer with previous experience working for Getty Images, the Associated Press and The Times, and regularly shoot social media video for Condé Nast Traveller Middle East.

If you’re looking for a writer with deep expertise on Saudi Arabia, a wide network of contacts and experience writing for top-tier global publications, please do drop me an email on scott@scott-campbell.co.uk — looking forward to being in touch!
