What Our Travelers Say

Our private tour of Hegra was the highlight of a lifetime. Standing before 2,000-year-old Nabataean tombs with our own archaeologist guide, we felt like we had stepped back in time. Nia personally ensured every detail was perfect, from the luxury camp to the candlelit desert dinner.

As a history professor, I had high expectations for AlUla, and Nia Travels exceeded every one. The private access to Dadan and the Lihyanite tombs was extraordinary. I have visited Petra twice, but Hegra, without the crowds, felt infinitely more intimate and powerful.

I travelled solo and was nervous about visiting Saudi Arabia on my own. Nia put me completely at ease. The stargazing evening in the AlUla desert was magical, and exploring Jeddah Al-Balad's coral stone alleyways with a local historian made the heritage come alive.

We spent four days exploring Diriyah and the At-Turaif district. The mud-brick architecture and the storytelling from our guide were remarkable. Dinner at Bujairi Terrace overlooking the illuminated ruins was an evening we will never forget. Thank you, Nia.

Having explored forty countries, I can say that the level of care Nia Travels provides is rare. The private desert camp was pure luxury, and waking up to the AlUla landscape at sunrise, with complete silence around us, was profoundly moving.

Jeddah Al-Balad completely surprised us. Walking through 400-year-old merchant houses with their ornate wooden balconies, then browsing the traditional souqs for spices and textiles, it felt like discovering a secret that most travellers have yet to find. Nia's local connections opened doors we could never have accessed alone.

The Hegra tombs at sunset were breathtaking. Our guide explained the Nabataean inscriptions in such vivid detail that the ancient trade routes felt real. The following evening, a private dinner in the desert under a canopy of stars was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.

We booked the AlUla and Diriyah itinerary for our anniversary. Every transfer, every hotel, every experience was seamless. Nia herself checked in with us throughout the trip. The private picnic among the sandstone formations of AlUla was a moment of pure magic.

I came for the heritage and left with a completely new understanding of Arabia. The guided walk through Diriyah's At-Turaif district was like a living history lesson, and the stargazing experience in the AlUla desert, with an astronomer pointing out constellations the Nabataeans would have navigated by, was absolutely extraordinary.

From the moment we landed, everything was taken care of. The AlUla heritage trail, the private evening at Hegra, the desert camp with traditional cuisine, it all flowed effortlessly. Nia Travels understands that luxury is not just about comfort, but about access and authenticity.

The Red Sea coastline took our breath away. We spent three days snorkelling over coral reefs that felt completely untouched, then retreated to our beachfront suite each evening. Nia arranged a private sunset cruise that was the most peaceful experience of our lives. Saudi Arabia's coast is the Mediterranean's best-kept secret.

I had no idea the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia had such extraordinary marine life. The diving was world-class, vibrant coral gardens and sea turtles just metres away. Our guide knew every hidden cove along the coast. Nia made an adventurous trip feel effortlessly luxurious.

We came for adventure and Nia delivered beyond anything we imagined. Rock climbing through AlUla's sandstone canyons, a sunrise hike above the desert valley, and zip-lining over ancient landscapes. Every day felt like a film set. This is adventure travel at its finest.

The desert safari through the dunes near AlUla was exhilarating. Our guide handled the terrain expertly, and stopping to explore hidden rock art sites along the way gave the adventure real depth. The overnight glamping under a sky full of stars was something I will never forget.

Walking through Jeddah Al-Balad with Nia's local guide was like stepping into a living museum. The coral stone architecture, the hidden rooftop cafes, the spice markets with scents I had never encountered before. We ended the evening with a traditional dinner in a restored merchant house. Truly unforgettable.

Diriyah exceeded all our expectations. Standing in the At-Turaif district where the Saudi story began, hearing the history from a guide who brought every detail to life, it was deeply moving. The evening walk through the illuminated mud-brick walls was hauntingly beautiful.

Our ten-day journey through Saudi Arabia with Nia was transformative. From the ancient tombs of Hegra to the turquoise waters of the Red Sea coast, every destination was a revelation. Nia curated each day with such care that we never once felt rushed. Arabia has become our favourite destination in the world.
