Tourism in Saudi Arabia
Have you been in Saudi Arabia? I think you will have good memories there.
Saudi Arabia has a lot of tourism attractions, for example, historical places, modern building, museums, natural views and a lot of events. My country has a vision that is about receiving two million tourists in 2030. If you want to visit Saudi Arabia, you should read this essay. I will write it to help you when you should visit it and which cities you should visit.
There are similarities and differences between winter and summer in my country. We are used to going to a beach in summer because the weather is very hot. We do a lot of activities such as playing volleyball, cooking some meals, playing on the beach and getting a tan under the amazing sunlight. On other hand, you can not enjoy these activities in winter because the weather is too cold. But we have exciting moments. For example, we are used to going to a desert. If you go to this place, you will feel relaxed and you can sleep inside the camps. Also, you can see the stars very clearly, but you should burn some wood or coal to be warm at night. Usually, the cities in the center of a desert will be very cold in winter. In contrast, the beach cities will be warm.
Now, I will talk about similarities and differences between the big cities in my country. It’s very important to be aware of the big cities to decide where you will go, and all of that depends on what you are interested in. Riyadh is the capital of my country. It has a lot of historical museums that are about the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Islamic history. Also, it’s good option for shopping because there are huge malls. Likewise, in my city, Jeddah. It’s a good choice for shopping. But, it’s warmer than Riyadh and it has a pretty coast. Jeddah has a lot of events such as music festivals and boat racing.
In the end Saudi Arabia has a lot of beautiful cities and you can enjoy activities whether in winter or summer, but you should make a list of your favorite things like ( food, activities and places ). I recommend you to visit Jeddah in summer and Ryiadh in winter and you should drink Arabic coffee, it’s very famous traditional drink in my beautiful country.
NYC in Winter
NYC is too cold city especially in January, but I like it because I can do a lot of things during this weather. You can enjoy Ice skating in Central Park and Bryant Park. Chinese New Year in this month so, you can go to Chinese Town to enjoy the celebrations. I am used to drinking Hot chocolate that is appetizing and keep you warm.
Sometimes, it snows I like this moment and it’s very exciting to see the snow especially in Times Square.
