Patna to Saudi Arabia

One of the oldest cities in India, Patna is the capital of the Indian state of Bihar. Its position on the southern banks of the Ganga River has blessed it with beauty and purity. The city holds a strong religious significance for Sikhs as it was the place where the last Sikh Guru - Guru Gobind Singh Ji was born. After Kolkata, this city has been rated as the largest metropolis and the most fast developing cities in eastern India. From historical edifices to museums, temples and more, there are plenty of attractions that tempt visitors from all corners of India and beyond for a visit. The star attraction of the city is the Golghar- a huge granary that was built by Captain John Garstin in 1786. The structure of Golghar is pillar-less and one can climb to the top to behold unobtrusive views of the entire cityscape. To get a detailed insight into the history of the city and the state, tourists can step in the Patna Museum, which is favourably located in Buddha Marg. Other places of tourist interest in Patna are Padri ki Haveli, Patna Zoo, Pathar ki Masjid, Gandhi Museum, Vaishali Stupa, and Mahavir Mandir. Tourists can book one of the many Patna travel packages from MakeMyTrip to travel around this city in a convenient manner.

The mystical land of Saudi Arabia boasts beautiful oases, psychedelic desert sunsets, dramatic mountaintops, endless sand dunes, apart from rich culture and heritage. Saudi Arabia’s two holiest cities, Medina and Mecca are the main destinations of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages that draw millions of Muslims every year. Riyadh, the capital is a curious combination of crumbling old and glittering new. Visit the Masmak Fort, Deera Square (where public executions take place), Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque, Red Sand Dunes, the Edge of the World, the Camel Trail and Ad Diriyah. At sunset, climb the Skybridge tower! Jeddah has the most beautiful Old Town in the Gulf. The Red Sea with great coastline and beaches is unmissable! Today, Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s buzzing cosmopolitan hub, home to gleaming hotels and big-ticket events like the Red Sea International Film Festival. The city’s heart is still intact in Al Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Abha offers spectacular mountains and colorful heritage villages, lush green hills, wild monkeys and some striking local architecture. Jizan has Yemeni-like culture and Fayfa and Absiyah, two gorgeous mountain villages. Al-Ula is a replica of Petra and Wadi Rum but without tourists. Meals in Saudi Arabia are rich, spiced, usually accompanied by rice or bread. Meat is an essential part of main meals, followed by sweet tea. Fuul (beans), Falafel, and Shawarma are diet staples, though not traditionally Saudi. This is but a taste of what awaits you in this elusive and mysterious country.
