Roam’s Approach to Responsible Travel

We partner with hotels and resorts that prioritize sustainability. These accommodations implement eco-friendly practices, such as energy-efficient systems and waste reduction strategies.

For example, Six Senses Southern Dune is the first LEED Platinum resort in Saudi Arabia, operating entirely on solar energy. Guests can enjoy eco-friendly features like architecture designed to maximize natural light and chemical-free pools. Additionally, Dar Tantora in AlUla has been restored using traditional materials, preserving the region's architectural heritage. Another example is AlBalad Hospitality, which revitalizes historic buildings in Jeddah, helping to maintain the unique coral-stone architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our itineraries are crafted to benefit local economies by promoting artisans, guides, and businesses. 

Travelers can meet Saudi families, interact with local artists, and experience Bedouin culture firsthand. Roam emphasizes authentic connections, allowing guests to learn about the history and lifestyle of local communities while contributing to their economies. Experiences like picnics following traditional customs or guided tours with local neighbours in AlBalad create meaningful interactions.

Saudi Arabia is home to unique ecosystems and wildlife, many of which are under threat. Roam actively supports conservation initiatives through educational wildlife tours.

For instance, we partner with marine conservation projects in the Red Sea, offering eco-conscious diving experiences that educate guests about coral reef ecosystems. Our private safaris in the Royal King Khalid Reserve allow travelers to observe native species and learn about ongoing conservation efforts. Through stargazing experiences in AlUla, we highlight the need to preserve natural environments, ensuring that the region's nocturnal wildlife can thrive.

We educate our travelers on responsible behaviors, emphasizing respect for cultural norms and minimizing waste.

Our guides provide insights on local customs and environmental practices. We prioritize electric transportation options, such as electric quads for tourists, and encourage the use of glass water bottles to reduce plastic waste. Before each excursion, we ensure guests are aware of cultural etiquette and conservation principles, fostering a responsible travel mindset.

Our curated experiences focus on sustainable activities that celebrate Saudi Arabia’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

From eco walks to traditional cooking classes that use locally sourced ingredients, we provide opportunities for travelers to engage with the local environment and culinary traditions. Guests can also learn about AlQassiri painting, where artists use natural materials to create stunning works of art, promoting sustainable artistic practices.

As Saudi Arabia aims to establish itself as a premier global travel destination, the importance of sustainable tourism will only grow. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative places a strong emphasis on sustainability, diversifying the economy while promoting responsible tourism. Roam is proud to be at the forefront of this movement, ensuring that luxury travel aligns with ecological and cultural preservation.

We invite you to explore Saudi Arabia responsibly with us. Together, we can create memorable experiences that honor the beauty of this incredible Kingdom while ensuring its vitality for future generations. By choosing Roam, you become not just a traveler, but a steward of the environment and a supporter of local communities.
