the mountains, valleys and red sea beaches with turquoise water are known for some of the world's finest diving and attract some, but comparatively few, tourists. some other spots are hard to reach, such as the nabatean ruins, a four-hour drive from medina, the nearest city with an airport for visitors to fly into. the kingdom is almost totally dependent on oil, a habit prince sultan bin salman wants to change by forming the saudi commission for tourism & antiquities in 2000. there are several museums in saudi arabia like the royal saudi air force museum and the national museum of saudi arabia. the royal saudi air force museum or "saqr al-jazira" is located on the east ring road of the saudi capital riyadh between exits 10 and 11. a saudia lockheed l-1011 tristar serves as a gateguard visible from the ring road. the museum gives the history of the royal saudi air force from its establishment in the 1920s to the present day. the museum comprises an outdoor static park and a large and modern indoor museum. the national museum of saudi arabia is another major national museum in saudi arabia. established in 1999, it is part of the king abdul aziz historical centre in riyadh. it covers several topics about islam, prophet muhammad's journeys, and the pre-islamic history of arabia. diriyah is an old town, designated as a world heritage site, that used to be the ruling capital of the first saudi state. another major world heritage site is mada'in saleh composed of gigantic tombs and burial chambers carved out of stone cliffs with native artistic designs. tourism in saudi arabia is largely based around religious pilgrimage. mecca receives over three million pilgrims a year during the month of hajj, and around two million during the month of ramadan in umrah.
