ATourist sites in Saudi Arabia are many and varied and contain a huge amount of history and modernity, and carry elements of beauty and rich personality. Each region has its own distinctive beauty that invites tourists, whether from inside or outside the Kingdom, to explore and unite with it. But this enjoyment is not limited to male tourists only. There are places and locations that are suitable for women’s activities and interests that are surrounded by an atmosphere of privacy and collective female participation. This has made the Kingdom one of the favorite destinations for women, whether from within the Kingdom or from different countries of the world.

Born in Medina, Ghalia Al-Mutabakani is one of the pioneers in organizing women’s trips and is considered one of the first Saudi women to organize these types of trips. She also organized trips for mothers titled “Set Al Habibib” on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
Speaking about her experience, Ghalia said: “Traveling from a young age was one of the reasons why I developed a passion for knowing and discovering the world around us. This hobby grew and grew and grew. I used to talk to myself about why I don’t work in this field and contribute to people getting to know this beauty and the cultures and civilizations of countries. Then I started organizing a number of trips for private groups of women as well as families and individuals,”
