Neom Discovery Tour from Tabuk

Start from Tabuk to visit the distinctive landmarks on an unforgettable tour. The destination, Neom, is about 152 km away.

Visit the Caves of Shuaib

Embark on an exploratory tour in an area rich in archaeological significance. The caves are home to rock carvings and relics from a civilisation that predates AD. These tombs, carved into rocks and adorned with decorations, resemble the facades of Nabataean shrines found in Al-Hijr (Mada'in Saleh). This ancient oasis was where Prophet Shuaib was sent by God to his people.

Visit the Beach of Maqna

Explore Maqna Beach, a haven for marine activity enthusiasts. Marvel at the beauty of its bays, the colour gradations of its sandy formations with fine and small pebbles, and the diversity of its marine environment. The clear and deep waters are home to coral gardens and a variety of marine creatures with vibrant colours.

Lunch

Enjoy an authentic traditional Saudi meal, served with high quality.

Visit Ras Sheikh Humaid

Ras Sheikh Hamid, located between the beginning of the Gulf of Aqaba and the end of the Red Sea, lies 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, discover the Catalina, an American-made amphibious aircraft. Its wreckage, resting here for nearly 57 years, raises questions about its presence in this remote location and the fate of its passengers. Some speculate it was involved in covert operations, while others suggest it is a relic from World War II.

Head to Tabuk

Return to Tabuk, approximately 152 km away.
