For Japanese people, Saudi Arabia is a mysterious country with little available information. However, by joining a tour attended by Mohammed, you will realize not only that the country is undergoing remarkable modernization, but also that, as a historic nation on the Arabian Peninsula, it possesses many valuable treasures.”
