Argentinian football superstar Lionel Messi and his family arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday to enjoy a holiday in Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia’s tourism minister took to Twitter on Monday to welcome Argentinian football legend to the Kingdom. “I am happy to welcome Saudi Tourism Ambassador Lionel #Messi and his family on his second vacation in Saudi. We are happy to share our authentic Saudi welcome with you all,” Minister of Tourism Ahmed Al-Khateeb tweeted.
The minister later tweeted pictures of Messi and his family soaking up the Saudi sun, playing traditional board game carrom, and feeding an Arabian gazelle with two of his sons.
The trip is Messi’s second vacation in Saudi Arabia, having visited Jeddah with friends last year.
In his recent social media post, the PSG footballer shared a photo of the date palm groves in Saudi Arabia and expressed his surprise at the country's abundance of greenery. “Who thought Saudi has so much green? I love to explore its unexpected wonders whenever I can.”
