The itinerary

Day 01

Tabuk's History, Heritage, and Local Market

Arrive and prepare for an enjoyable tour. Visit the Tabuk Museum and explore the region's history. The museum is a cultural landmark and a unique urban masterpiece.
Visit the Hejaz Railway, where one of the largest railway stations was constructed and later restored. Discover the locomotives and learn about the history of the railway since the First World War.
Explore the historic Al-Tawbah Mosque, one of the most important and famous ancient mosques in the Tabuk region because of its historical and religious standing. Its name is associated with an important historical stage, represented by the Prophet Muhammad performing several night prayers there during the Battle of Tabuk.
Take a special tour of the historic Tabuk Castle, a landmark that stands as a testament to the region's history. It dates back to the year "1559," and the castle was later rehabilitated and converted into a museum filled with archaeological and historical collections from different ages.
Visit the site of Ain Sukkar and explore Ain al-Sukkar, or Ain Tabuk, a water spring located in the city of Tabuk that dates back to the era of the Prophet.
Enjoy a tour of the local market near Tabuk Citadel, one of the most prominent features of the Tabuk region.
Enjoy authentic traditional Saudi meals of high quality, then head to the hotel to rest.

Day 02

NEOM's Archaeological Sites and Red Sea Coast

Visit the caves of Shuaib on an exploratory tour through an area of archaeological civilization and rock carvings that preserve the relics of a nation that lived before AD. These are tombs carved into the rocks and decorated with designs similar to the façades of the Nabataean shrines found in Al-Hijr (Mada'in Saleh). It was an ancient oasis to which God sent his prophet "Shuaib" to his people.
Next, take a tour of Maqna Beach, which attracts many lovers of marine activities. Enjoy the beauty of its bays, the colour gradations of its sandy formations of fine sand and small pebbles, and the diversity of its marine environment. The clarity and depth of its waters contain coral gardens, and you can also see colourful marine creatures around them.
Enjoy an authentic traditional Saudi meal served with high quality. Then visit Ras Sheikh Hamid, located between the beginning of the Gulf of Aqaba and the end of the Red Sea, west of the islands of Tiran and Sanafir and west of the Straits of Tiran.
Visit the Catalina Seaplane Wreck 1960 in the Ras Sheikh Hamid area. The Catalina, an American-made amphibious aircraft, breathed its last here, and its wreckage has remained in this remote place for nearly 57 years. Its presence raises many questions about why the plane came to this area and what happened to its passengers. Some say it arrived secretly, while others say it is a relic of World War II.
Visit Ain Musa, "Moses's water spring," on an enjoyable tour to explore the springs of water, or as the people of the region call them, the springs of Moses, where the people of the Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, travelled.
Enjoy another authentic traditional Saudi meal served with high quality and return to Tabuk, about 152 km away.
