Saudi Arabia, officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is a country in Western Asia. It constitute the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula and, geographically, it is the largest state in Western Asia. It’s famous for Islam and for the fact that it’s home to the holiest shrines of Islam: Mecca and Medina. In fact, people call the king of Saudi Arabia the custodian of the two holy mosques.
It is the birthplace of Arabian culture and of its customs and traditions. From the generous hospitality of its people, Saudi Arabian life has been shaped by its unique heritage over the centuries.
The first thing to note is that Saudi Arabia is far more diverse in landscape and scenery than people usually might imagine. In fact, in addition to its varied terrain and environment, every region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is blessed with unique archaeological and urban heritage which includes museums, historical sites, ancient traditional architecture and souks (markets).

The Arabian desert is a vast desert wilderness in Western Asia. It stretches from Yemen to the Persian Gulf and Oman to Jordan and Iraq. It occupies most of the Arabian Peninsula and for this it is considered the fifth largest desert in the world, and the largest in Asia. The beauty of the desert views will make you feel small and amazed by the vastness of this unknown landscape. The sand is flawless, the dunes are rolling and this beautiful desert landscape can be enjoyed on any desert adventure or safari day. Start your engines and raise the dust to experience the charm of the desert firsthand.
A great place for a Desert team building: The Empty Quarter!
Although it is just sand, the Empty Quarter is far from boring, whether you come on a camel safari, to drive 4x4s through the dunes or to visit with the nomadic tribes who call this seemingly inhospitable place home.

Team Building Urban: Riyadh
While in Saudi Arabia, you can’t miss a visit to its capital, Riyadh. Although Riyadh’s bustling traffic, glass skyscrapers and business streets are today its loudest elements, the city has a rich heritage and history that has been well preserved.
Urban Game Team Building in Riyadh: a cooler way to visit the city.
As you walk around in Riyadh for the first time, you’ll be forgiven for thinking it’s just a mix of skyscrapers and big shopping malls. But, taking a closer look, you’ll find the Ad Dirah neighborhood, the old heart of the Saudi capital. There are no sparkling towers here, nor designer boutiques. The streets are narrower and it seems to have gone back in time.
A stroll along these busy alleys offers an authentic taste of traditional commerce, architecture and culture. The countless shops boast an incredible variety of Middle Eastern products, from spices to seasonal specialties such as nuts and fresh dates, passing through perfumes, ornaments, jewelry, clothing, artifacts and an infinite treasure of souvenirs. Moreover, traditional music, art and culture shows further characterize the atmosphere of this special place.
Visiting a city with an Urban Team Building activity means living a very different experience from the conventional city tour. Participants will discover the most interesting places in the city, its wonders and its most beautiful landscapes. But not in a tourist way. The visit will proceed in a lighthearted, collaborating and amusing way. People will relax and absorb the vitality and atmosphere of this eclectic mix of cultures.
Urban Team Building: Jeddah
The port of Jeddah on the Red Sea is known as a relatively liberal and open city. In addition to a fantastic atmosphere, Jeddah offers in particular a fantastic tourist attraction: the so-called “coral houses“, built with blocks of coral collected from the sea. This rather makes the experience. You will love the sight of this wonderful building.
Another way of exploring the city with an Urban Game Team Building is using the iPad. Our City Game iPad is one of our most popular Team Building formats. It is an amazing adventure that puts participants in another dimension. They will walk among the oldest or most beautiful parts of the city, such as in between the Coral Houses, and will take photos and videos with the most updated technologies. Moreover, what makes this format so special are the effects of the so-called augmented reality, adding virtual elements to the surrounding reality and letting people enter in a new dimension.

Diversity & Inclusion
Lately, Saudi Arabia has been opening up a lot and this has brought a great positive revolution. Making the country open to tourists and visitors has caused a growing in culture and desire to discover new activities. For this reason, integration between cultures and nationalities has become increasingly important.
We believe in creating an inclusive culture in which people can thrive. Our Team Building mission here in Saudi Arabia, as all over the world, is to create an inclusive working environment because it is the key to innovating, developing and retaining employees’ talents. With our activities, everyone will feel appreciated and included because our activities allow integration. Also, they will feel able to cultivate their talent as individuals and as part of a collaborative team.
Corporate Orchestra Team Building in Saudi Arabia
Music: a universal language
Music speaks directly to the unconscious and therefore there is no need for words. We understand each other perfectly even between different languages and cultures. The important topics we touch with music are therefore diversity and inclusion.
Integrating a team of people with different backgrounds is usually not easy, but it can be easily accomplished with music. Musical language is good for any culture or language! This is because rhythm and melody speak indifferently to everyone.
The goal of the Percussion Orchestra Team Building is not only to play music, as it might seem at first glance. Music Team Building is a form of communication that allows you to overcome cultural and language barriers. It will help you communicate, express yourself and your emotions. Obviously, the effectiveness of this Team Building will depend on the quality of the relationship between the participants.
So it is important how they manage to establish the connection between themselves. A diversified and inclusive team building event, integrated into our principles of honesty, integrity and respect, brings together extraordinary people and allows them to be themselves.
By focusing on diversity and inclusion, the team building event will become an even more rewarding and satisfying activity, in which each employee will be able to grow and learn new things from other cultures and individuals. There are people from all over the world and listening to people who speak in different languages is fantastic because everyone can share their personal background and experience.
Team Building in Saudi Arabia: the perfect solution for international teams
Does your international team need more integration, communication or team spirit? Our corporate team building activities lead participants to live impactful experiences that will help you solve your problems!
For all teambuildings and incentives in Saudi, we choose the experiential training method. This means that we present a new experience to the team, far from the company’s routine. Living a day walking across the most famous part of Riyadh, Jeddah or having an adventure out of the ordinary in the desert will help the team develop communication skills and get to know each other from a new, more informal point of view.
What about international teams working from a distance?
Since more and more companies have employees working from all over the world, we thought of some Team Building formats that you can participate in from home and we named them: Stream Buildings. A remote team building is like usual team building, except for the fact that the participants are at home and do not share the space around them. In a digital team building, team members participate by standing at the desk in front of the computer. For this reason, to interact with the rest of the group, they must use the latest forms of technology available. Examples could be video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Hangouts.
