French Travel Creator Aureliestory Reaches One Billion Views on Saudi Arabia Content
French travel creator Aurélie Bouti has reached a major social media milestone, generating more than one billion views on videos showcasing Saudi Arabia’s destinations, cultural heritage and expanding tourism landscape.
French travel creator Aurélie Bouti, known online as Aureliestory, has surpassed one billion views on video content dedicated to Saudi Arabia across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, marking a significant milestone for travel content focused on the Kingdom.
The figure covers videos produced during several trips to Saudi Arabia, featuring destinations including Riyadh, Jeddah, Diriyah, Taif, The Red Sea and AlUla, including Sharaan.
To date, no other creator is known to have publicly documented reaching one billion views on Saudi Arabia-focused content.
With more than six million followers across social media and over 100 million monthly views, Aureliestory has built a global audience. She is currently the most-followed French travel creator on Instagram, with 3.3 million followers.
The milestone comes seven years after Saudi Arabia introduced its tourist visa in 2019, opening the Kingdom more broadly to international leisure visitors and accelerating the development of its tourism industry.
“When I first started sharing Saudi Arabia, it was still a destination that a lot of people in my audience knew very little about. What has been most interesting to me is seeing the curiosity grow with every trip. Reaching one billion views across this content is something I never expected, but more than the number itself, I think it shows how much interest there is in discovering places people haven’t necessarily seen before,” Bouti said.
Her work in Saudi Arabia has also included extensive coverage of The Red Sea, where she has documented several major hotel openings, often among the first travel creators to experience and introduce the properties to international audiences.
Her coverage has included Shebara, Desert Rock, Nujuma, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, SLS The Red Sea and The Red Sea EDITION. She also plans to return for future openings as the destination continues to expand its hospitality offering.
With more than 11 years of experience in travel content creation, Bouti has worked with leading tourism destinations, hospitality groups, airlines and travel brands across international markets.
In 2025, she was named World’s Best Travel Influencer at the World Influencers and Bloggers Awards in Cannes. She also served as an international judge for the Qatar Tourism Awards in 2025 and 2026.
Her professional collaborations have included the Saudi Tourism Authority, the Royal Commission for AlUla, Red Sea Global, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Visit London, Qatar Airways and Marriott Bonvoy.
The milestone highlights the growing international visibility of Saudi Arabia through digital travel storytelling, as creators introduce the Kingdom’s destinations, cultural landmarks and hospitality developments to audiences around the world.
