One Way to
SOUTH AFRICA Every country has its diversity, but South Africa gives the term a new meaning. Story by Otbah Rayess
Our journey began when five friends from around the world decided to converge at Johannesburg, one of world’s largest urban forests. I started with taking a 7-hour flight from Jeddah. Johannesburg is a vibrant city that has a lot to offer visitors, from historic sights of political importance, traditional ties, cultural connections, to museums, art galleries and craft makers.

In Johannesburg our stay was at The Villa Royale by the Saxon. It offers tours and outdoor adventures exploring South Africa’s traditional roots, diverse cultures and lively spirit. Tours can be tailored to suit your interests and schedule. The first day was chill. We toured the city for a while and had some African BBQ for dinner, looking forward to an exciting day. 80 DESTINATION RIYADH MAY 2016
