There are many countries in which their economy is based on tourism. Saudi Arabia is also targeting that their major economic reliance should shift to tourism.

This study proposes a Collaborative Augmented Reality framework for tourists in the Kingdom. The visitors can hire expert guides, and get real-time help and explanation regarding incidents or events relevant to a specific spot. The proposed solution is innovative due to its enhanced efficiency and security mechanism during communication among visitors and guides. Moreover, the proposed framework operates under a collaborative trusted network whose transactions are protected from unauthorized intrusions. The ease of communication and making moves, the overall tourism experience and the seeking apprised of different places have become easily attainable for the incoming tourists. Moreover, the proposed solution contributes to the economy of the country.
