Default The Most Beautiful Part of Saudi ?

So I'm new to Saudi and I've got a lot of holiday with my job and I'm wondering where the most beautiful scenery in KSA is . I was looking in a book and there were some really nice pictures from the South where it is more fertile and mountainous . Anyone got any ideas for good places to visit or any photos they can share . Any nice beaches etc etc ?

5000dhs
I was a publican/restaurateur from 22 years old, I think I may have opened more bottles of bubbly in my life time than you darling
I will invite you to my villa and we will sit around my pool opening bottles of bubbly until we fall over

If you do trips you should do it in an organised group. Not the type of place one just bods around solo for obvious reasons.

Saying that I did Mada'in Saleh (Unesco heritage site) in 2010 and thought it was pretty amazing.

The former.

We had an obligatory police escort for the 4 hour road trip to Al Ula from Madinah airport.

Four French guys were killed on that road a few years earlier.

This is a great place to start - ive started to use this as a checklist http://www.splendidarabia.com/ and done a few things already. Recently there were approx 2000 "tombs" identified by google as well. It is a very rich and diverse place archeologically.
