In addition, the second busiest airport in the United States also presented its Lounge, a semi-private area for adults only channeling the vibes with its leather sofas and artwork. Your VIP benefits include transportation to the plane and a letter of selected cocktails . Jessica Puckett.

Who does not dream of a boat trip? Last July, the Saudi Arabian Port Authority and Cruise Saudi inaugurated the first cruise terminal in the Port of Jeddah (months ahead of schedule), and with it, more ways to explore the country for water. The MSC and Scenic companies use this new way of traveling, for example, to go through the Red Sea , taking travelers to places like Yanbu, the country's diving capital, and Al Wajh, the gateway to the historic city of AlUla and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra.
