Traveling and traveling from his vision, point of view, and advice to travelers:

Traveling and traveling, from my point of view, is an intellectual, cognitive and educational experience that you will not find anywhere else. It gives you many skills and many benefits that a traveler gets when visiting a new place and country and meeting different peoples. Through my personal experience and what I have benefited from, I can offer some advice to travelers, which are:
Choosing the right destination for the traveler himself, far from the experiences and trips of his relatives, friends, or social media
Adequate and comprehensive reading of the destination before traveling to it
Choose a suitable time and be flexible in submitting or delaying two days so that he finds a suitable ticket
The traveler is an ambassador for his country and his country. He must understand this sentence, because he does not represent himself when leaving his country, so he represents the Saudi citizen in every sense of the word.
Choose the destination according to the time and mood
Selection of seasons and early reservation of the destination
Search and read about the destination closely and know the events, holidays and festivals there
