These open-to-sky, circular shrines—steeped in Tantric tradition and mystery—offered something more than history. They were invitations to listen.

ESCAPE INTO NATURE IN SAUDI
If you thought the natural landscape of Saudi Arabia only consisted of a sprawling sandy desert, you would be wrong; the country is home to soaring mountains, hot springs, mangroves, and coral reefs that also deserve to be celebrated. Here's where you should go for outdoorsy expeditions whose memories will last a lifetime.
