I’m a Saudi travel expert living in Riyadh, drawing on my experience writing for magazines like National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveller and Travel + Leisure to help travellers plan Saudi trips grounded in real local knowledge.

I’ve spent the best part of a decade exploring Saudi Arabia, finding everywhere from ultra-atmospheric, off-the-beaten-track neighbourhoods in Riyadh that you’d never see in a guidebook to hidden cafes among AlUla’s ancient rocks and one-off experiences that aren’t accessible to most visitors.

In my role as a Contributing Editor for Condé Nast Traveller Middle East, I’ve also stayed in dozens of the Kingdom’s leading hotels — which means I can give you clear, honest advice on which properties genuinely deliver, and which are best suited to your travel style and priorities, whether it’s a quick last-minute business trip or a carefully planned, multi-stop trip across the country.
