Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – August 28, 2025 – Visit Saudi, in collaboration with Nissan Saudi Arabia, wrapped up a remarkable off-road expedition under the “Summer Adventure – Explore the South with Nissan” campaign. The three-day journey across the Asir region served as a real-world test of the all-new 2025 Nissan Patrol PRO-4X, pushing its capabilities across a variety of rugged landscapes, from towering mountain ranges and steep slopes to wide-open sandy beaches. Using Dalila's interactive maps, the terrain was navigated with smart route planning and flexible access to remote destinations.

"The 'Summer Adventure' in Asir was more than a driving experience; it was a true journey through Saudi Arabia’s diverse landscapes, highlighting the remarkable off-road capabilities of the Nissan Patrol PRO-4X, from rugged mountain trails to expansive coastal sands. This expedition reflects Nissan’s vision to create immersive driving experiences that are deeply connected to the Kingdom’s natural beauty. We believe every adventure begins with land and is brought to life by a vehicle that inspires confidence and by technologies that foster a deeper connection to the environment. Through this initiative, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering our customers to discover Saudi Arabia from a richer, more personal perspective."

Throughout the journey, a group of automotive and adventure influencers embarked on an exhilarating off-road experience across the diverse landscapes of Asir. The adventure kicked off on the winding mountain trails around Abha, moved through the sharp slopes and rugged terrain of Aqabat Rida, and reached Al-Birk on the Red Sea coast, where they pushed the Nissan Patrol PRO-4X to its limits on expansive desert sands. On the final day, the group tackled the demanding ascent of Aqabat Al-Samma, a route that called for advanced driving precision and complete command behind the wheel.

The expedition showcased the natural and cultural richness of the Asir region, from cloud-covered mountains to tranquil beaches and distinctive heritage landmarks. The combination of the vehicle’s powerful performance and the use of Dalila’s interactive maps within the ”Visit Saudi” app proved essential for route planning and discovering new destinations. This blend of smart technology and geographic insight created a smooth, well-informed exploration that connected innovation with local context.

As the star of the “Summer Adventure” campaign, the Nissan Patrol PRO-4X proved itself as the ultimate companion for thrill-seekers and off-road explorers. It fuses raw power with bold design and serious off-road muscle. Beneath the hood lies a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission for smooth, confident performance in even the toughest conditions.

The PRO-4X is engineered for extreme terrain, equipped with an advanced 4WD system, adaptive air suspension, and a custom off-road bumper with a best-in-class approach angle. Rugged red tow hooks and 20-inch all-terrain aluminum wheels complete its bold, trail-ready stance.

The enhancements extend beyond mechanical performance, incorporating intelligent features like a 3D Around View Monitor and the Invisible Hood View system, giving drivers enhanced visibility in demanding conditions, particularly on the steep slopes and winding valleys of the Asir region.

The PRO-4X features a distinctive design marked by bold black accents, volcanic red badging, and durable skid plates that reinforce its powerful stance. Inside, the rugged character continues with a cabin that balances luxury and practicality — offering adventure-ready leather seats and advanced climate control for maximum driver comfort and confidence.

Alongside the vehicle’s impressive performance, the integration of smart navigation tools played a key role in shaping this adventure. Dalila interactive maps, accessed via the official Visit Saudi app, were essential for planning routes and reaching a variety of destinations combining nature, history, open terrain, and local landmarks. The app helped participants move confidently, discover new locations, and better understand their surroundings, turning navigation into a meaningful part of the journey itself.

This campaign is part of Nissan Saudi Arabia’s strategy to reinforce its local presence by supporting domestic tourism through innovative initiatives aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, showcasing the Kingdom’s natural and cultural beauty, with Nissan vehicles built to accompany every adventure.
