After teasing the holiday, Georgia revealed that she and Lee had travelled to Saudi Arabia to promote tourism in the beleaguered nation.
‘After only opening to tourists in 2019, we can’t state how excited we are to be among the first Aussies to tour Saudi,’ she wrote in a since-deleted post on Instagram.
‘To us, it is important to see, experience and learn about all cultures around us and to see how much and how fast our world is changing. We can’t wait to bring you along on this incredible experience with us.’

‘We strongly believe by Saudi opening up to the rest of the world and by tourists being here it has to be more accountable and hope this is a change for the better.
