If your budget stretches to flights, Saudi Arabia is your oyster, with the entire country within a 1.5-hour radius of Riyadh.
Jeddah ? the largest port on the Red Sea and the gateway to Mecca and Medina, but with good scuba diving too
Bahrain ? if you have a car, the 4-hour drive through the desert to the comparatively liberal state of Bahrain is not too bad
Dubai ? The new luxurious party city of the Middle East. If you have a car, it will be a 7-hour drive east through the desert. For cheap flights, approximately 1.5 hours, take a low-cost airline into Sharjah.
