The Traveling Panther Celebrates 10 Years Of Leading Luxe Sustainable Experiential Travel In Saudi Arabia

Founded in 2015, The Traveling Panther continues to lead sustainable experiential tourism in Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom witnessed a large influx of inbound and international tourists starting from 2022 to 2024, marking the highest number of visitors in its history so far, with numbers expected to stay strong for the next coming years, as the Kingdom continues to enhance visitor experiences, with TTP being one of the strongest shapers of the future of Saudi’s tourism industry.

Recognizing that economic diversification is essential to Vision 2030, and with notable growth in the tourism and leisure sectors in 2025—especially in experiential and cultural tourism, which are at the forefront of this year’s travel trends—The Traveling Panther is well-positioned as a key player in this field, actively working to attract both domestic and international clients.

The Traveling Panther was born from two women’s passion for cultural immersion and discovery, TTP has evolved into Saudi Arabia’s leading luxury travel and guest management brand, rooted in journeys that began in Cuba and expanded across Mongolia’s steppes, Botswana’s savannahs, and Scandinavia’s northern lights.

Co-Founded by HH Princess Fahda Bandar Al Saud and Manayer Mohammed AlSharekh, TTP quickly grew from a boutique travel company into a full-fledged institutional partner to government, giga-projects, and high-net-worth clientele. With a dual offering of experience design and advisory services, the company creates journeys for the culturally curious and offers strategic counsel for entities seeking to enter or evolve within the tourism ecosystem.

“From day one, our goal wasn’t to replicate the luxury travel models of the West, but to root our offering in narrative, place, and people,” says HH Princess Fahda. “TTP is a celebration of cultural fluency and responsible access.”

Operating at the nexus of heritage and high-end hospitality, TTP has managed over 30,000 guests across institutional delegations, luxury FITs, and cultural tourism initiatives. Its work spans destinations like AlUla, Jeddah, Riyadh, the Red Sea, and the highlands of Aseer. The brand is distinguished by its immersive approach, offering curated itineraries infused with Saudi stories, artisanal experiences, and discreet VIP handling.

In recent years, TTP has extended its role beyond trip planning into guest protocol management, destination development, and giga-project integration. It is one of the few homegrown entities embedded within the operational frameworks of Vision 2030’s most ambitious tourism developments.

Co-Founder Manayer M. AlSharekh reflects: “This isn’t just a milestone—it’s a mandate. Saudi Arabia has entered the global stage, and we’re proud to be one of the few brands translating its cultural capital into world-class guest experiences.”

As Saudi Arabia claims its place on the global tourism stage, The Traveling Panther continues to lead, showcasing the Kingdom’s cultural richness while curating exceptional, access-driven experiences for a worldwide audience.
