Cool green highlands, halal everywhere and family-friendly luxury — Türkiye is a summer favourite for Saudi travellers. Here is how to plan the perfect escape.
Türkiye is one of the most popular destinations for Saudi travellers, especially in summer when families escape the heat for Türkiye’s cool green highlands, lakes and forests. Add halal dining everywhere, familiar comforts and warm hospitality, and it is easy to see the appeal.
Cool Summer Escapes
While the Gulf swelters, the Black Sea highlands around Rize, Ayder and Trabzon stay green and cool — a top choice for Saudi families in July and August. Uludağ, Abant and Sapanca are also beautifully refreshing.
