The Saudi Tourism Authority has praised Saudi-based Pakistani tourist Kashan Syed for discovering remote, lesser-known natural sites in the country’s farthest reaches.

 

Syed, founder of the Saudi Tourism Group, has been exploring the country for the last twenty years. His work has now been acknowledged globally, as the authority has given coverage to his efforts on geography and history channels, WeNews reported on Tuesday.

 

Recently, he visited the Jazala area of Jo-Ghawiyah city along with his team of 20 vehicles. The area, located nearly 190 kilometres from Riyadh, offers breathtaking views ranging from natural rock formations and mountain ranges to shapes resembling humans and animals, carved over time by weather effects.

 

These rock formations, naturally shaped over thousands of years through rain, sun, and wind, have created mesmerising and mysterious views that leave people in awe.

 

Syed told WeNews that he has been exploring such hidden places, often missing from tourist maps, for the last two decades. His team promotes tourism by using modern techniques such as Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation, documentation, photography, videos, and location surveys.

 

His mission is to showcase Saudi Arabia's natural beauty, geographical diversity, and historical heritage to the world, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to develop tourism as one of the major industries.

 

This unique initiative by the Saudi Tourism Group is not only contributing to the growth of tourism in Saudi Arabia but also positively representing the Pakistani community.
