Generalia on the Eastern Province – Sharqia

a worthwhile destination

The Eastern Province, Province, known as Sharqia (also: Al Sharqiyyah), is a governmental administrative unit in the state of Saudi Arabia and not merely a geographical indication. Specifically, it is the largest of the 13 provinces of Saudi Arabia in terms of area. But the Government of the Kingdom is in the process of massively changing this state of affairs and creating a tourist center out of this region as well. Nonetheless, the province is already today a worthwhile destination for people who want to explore Saudi Arabia. A pleasant side effect of this is that the lodging costs are still well below those of hotels in Riyadh or Jeddah. In addition, the people are generally very friendly and helpful.
