China Tours from Saudi Arabia
ETC's visa-free China private tours from Saudi Arabia allow you to meet fascinating people, experience wonderful culture, and explore hidden treasures with life-time memories.
Over the course of 900 years during the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, the Arab Empire and China developed stable and smooth political and commercial exchanges. In the history book of Tang Dynasty, Arab Empire was called "Dashi". Around 1500 AD, political and trade exchanges between the two sides nearly ceased. Since 1990, China and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have established formal diplomatic relations, ushering in a new era of comprehensive cooperation.
Today, Saudi Arabia has become one of China's largest oil suppliers, consistently ranking as China's largest trading partner in the West Asia and Africa region. As a leading nation in Middle East, Saudi Arabia has been actively supportive of the China's "Belt and Road" initiative. After joining the BRICS in early 2024, Saudi Arabia established closer cooperation with China and other members in the organization. In return, China will surely help the partner to upgrade the infrastructure of the country and boost its future economy. In addition, people-to-people religious (Muslim) exchanges have also benefited the relationship between the two nations.
Currently, we see a growing number of tourists traveling to China from Saudi Arabia, exploring the enticing culture, proud traditions, and beautiful nature of this mysterious Oriental Kingdom. As more and more businessmen, students, and travelers from Saudi Arabia step into the country, the mutual exchange and understanding are enhanced. China is becoming a new popular destination for Saudi tourists.
