Gulf Weekly Scenery and culture of Saudi captured on film

A fascinating documentary has been released which covers an epic road trip that captures the scenery and culture of Saudi Arabia never before seen on film.

The four day, 2,000km journey through the kingdom was completed in a convoy of McLaren 12C and 12C Spider supercars, built in the UK by a company part-owned by Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, Mumtalakat, with the famous Saudi Arabian racing driver Faisal Bin Laden hosting the trip.

The trip travelled through the country’s main cities and some remote towns to discover the country’s hidden treasures. Mr Bin Laden said: “It was a truly epic journey and this trip was about so much more than driving McLaren supercars, we wanted to capture on film and show the world just some of the amazing scenery and interesting stories Saudi Arabia has to offer”.

The journey which started in Riyadh then saw Faisal travel to Buraidah, Medina, Jeddah and Taif, which included driving along the breathtaking Al Hada road.
