The travel edit: Five bucket list experiences you shouldn’t miss

The Independent  

From treks in lunar-like landscapes and lush green mountains to tours through ancient, open-air art galleries and bird watching in the world’s largest oasis, Saudi has so many bucket list experiences that your biggest dilemma during any trip will be working out which one to tick off first. Here’s our guide to five of the best… Al-Wahbah Crater Al-Wahbah Crater is an incredible natural formation that begs to be photographed Once thought to have been caused by a meteorite crashing to earth, but more likely to have been the result of a volcanic eruption, the lunar-like Al-Wahbah Crater, about a two-hour drive north of Taif, is one of Saudi’s most spectacular natural wonders. Jubbah Rock Carvings Like a historical art gallery, travel back in time at the Jubbah rock carvings You’ll feel like you’re walking through ancient times visiting the Rock Carvings of Jubbah, one of Saudi’s oldest and most interesting open-air art galleries. Hike above the clouds in the Arabian Highlands Sitting at more than 3,133 metres above sea level, Jabal Al Soudah in the Asir National Park in the southwest of the country is one of the highest peaks in Saudi and its lush, dense juniper forests and cool mountain air provide an exhilarating trekking experience.
