Description

This week’s episode of Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Arnie Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of Travel Weekly, joins us in Saudi Arabia to discuss the opening of the Kingdom — and the restored UNESCO World Heritage site of Diriyah Gate. He argues that there’s no travel destination with a story as unique as well as the special circumstances that brought very few visitors here before — with many more coming now. And all of this happening in the shadow of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi a little more than a year ago. Jerry Inzerillo, CEO of the Diriyah Gate Development Authority, discusses the spike in global tourism and human connectivity – and where it meets hospitality. Raha Moharrak, the first Saudi woman to summit Everest, speaks about the immense change women in Saudi Arabia have experienced and how she — and the rest of the country– is adjusting. And Her Royal Highness Princess Adhwa also stops by to discuss the radical progression of female rights. There’s all this and more as Travel Today with Peter Greenberg comes from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
