About us, saoediarabie.nl was founded by Jessica de Bruin and Gábor Margés

Jessica has been living in the Middle East since 2011. She started her journey in Dubai where she met many Saudis who enthusiastically told her about what Saudi Arabia had to offer. With each conversation, her interest in Saudi Arabia grew. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit Saudi Arabia as a tourist before 2019, but she kept an eye on the news in hopes of one day being able to go there and see the world's most undiscovered country with her own eyes. Since the fall of 2019, Saudi Arabia can be visited with a tourist visa. She did not hesitate for a moment and then became one of the first Dutch people to apply and obtain a tourist visa and immediately visited the country.

From then on, her interest in and enthusiasm for Saudi Arabia has continued to grow. She is surprised each time by the high level of hospitality, the breathtaking landscapes, the rich culture and the ambitious vision of the kingdom. Recently she also lives in Riyadh from where she expands her knowledge, experience and network every day, adding to the quality and unique experience of your trip.

Gábor joined the team in 2024. Gábor was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and has been working in the travel industry for 15 years. He has extensive expertise in organizing trips and for three years he was responsible for the promotion of Saudi Arabia in the Benelux on behalf of the Saudi Tourism Authority. He was the bridge between the travel industry and Saudi Arabia, introducing many tour operators to the fastest growing travel destination in the world through inspection trips. Virtually all travel companies were pleasantly surprised with the main highlights being the diversity in nature and culture, the purity (you still feel like a pioneer) and the typical Arabian hafawah, or hospitality of the locals.

Ali, one of best guides in Saudi Arabia

Ali was recently added to the team. Ali had long been our main guide used for group tours and demanding clients. Ali was born in Buraidah - Al-Qassim and has been working in tourism since 2001. He has introduced clients from all over the world to his native land and already positively changed many opinions. Ali's welcoming and warm character make many travelers feel right at home and introduced to a country like no traveler really thought possible beforehand. A country with an absolute wow factor. A country that creates lasting memories through Ali and all the beauty it has to offer, from Diriyah in Riyadh to the imposing structures of the Nabataeans and from the most beautiful resorts on the Red Sea to the cradle of Islam in Medina. Ali is happy to show it all to you - his way.
