Where to Stay: Top Regions in Saudi Arabia

Selecting the right city or province depends on the experience you want to create:

  • Riyadh (The Capital & Business Hub)

    • Best for: Fine dining, luxury shopping, financial centers, and high-rise views.

    • The vibrant pulse of modern Arabia. Stay in central districts like Al Olaya or the futuristic King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) for immediate access to landmarks like Kingdom Centre, world-class restaurants, and sleek corporate hotels.

  • Jeddah (The Red Sea Coastal Gateway)

    • Best for: Waterfront promenades, diving, heritage art, and relaxed coastal vibes.

    • Known as the "Bride of the Red Sea," Jeddah offers scenic seaside stays along the Jeddah Corniche. Stay near the historic Al-Balad neighborhood for traditional coral-stone architecture, or choose a beachfront hotel for direct water access and diving excursions.

  • AlUla (Ancient Heritage & Desert Luxury)

    • Best for: Eco-luxury, stargazing, ancient history, and wellness.

    • Home to Hegra (Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site), AlUla features ultra-luxurious desert resorts nestled among dramatic sandstone canyons. Expect secluded villas, private pools, and world-class spa facilities.

  • The Red Sea & Coastal Resorts

    • Best for: Maldives-style overwater villas, island living, and pristine coral reefs.

    • Saudi Arabia's booming Red Sea destination hosts groundbreaking sustainable luxury resorts set on pristine islands, perfect for sunseekers and marine enthusiasts.

FAQ

Can't find the answer you'r looking for? We've shared some of our most frequently asked question to help you out!

Do I need a visa to visit Saudi Arabia for tourism?

Yes. Citizens of over 60 eligible countries can easily apply for a 1-year, multiple-entry Tourist eVisa online prior to travel, allowing stays of up to 90 days. Other nationalities may need to apply for a standard consular visa.

Is there a dress code for tourists staying in Saudi Arabia?

The dress code has relaxed significantly. Female tourists are not required to wear an abaya or headscarf. However, both men and women are expected to dress modestly in public areas (shoulders and knees should be covered). Inside luxury hotels, private beaches, and international resorts, Western-style resort wear is entirely common.

Do hotels in Saudi Arabia serve alcohol?

No. Alcohol is strictly prohibited by law throughout the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. All hotels, resorts, and restaurants are completely dry. To compensate, the hospitality industry has developed an incredible, high-end culture of artisan coffees, premium fresh juices, and elaborate mocktails.

What taxes apply to hotel bookings in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia applies a standard 15% Value Added Tax (VAT) to most goods and services, including hotel rooms. Some properties may also add a separate municipal fee. Always check your booking details to confirm which taxes are included in your upfront rate.

Are flight and hotel packages to Saudi Arabia protected?

Yes. When you book your international flights and Saudi hotel together through Stunning Holiday, your entire package is financially protected, ensuring your investment is secure.

Can female tourists travel and check into hotels alone?

Absolutely. Female tourists are welcome to travel independently, rent cars, and check into any hotel across the Kingdom without a male guardian.

How do I travel between cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and AlUla?

Because the country is vast, flying is the most practical way to travel between major hubs (Saudia and Flynas operate extensive domestic networks). For travel between Jeddah, Makkah, and Madinah, the Haramain High-Speed Railway offers a phenomenal, ultra-fast ground option.

Is the tourist eVisa valid for performing Umrah?

Yes. Muslim travelers holding a valid tourist eVisa can perform Umrah at any time of the year, with the exception of the Hajj season, during which specific Hajj visas are strictly required.

Are unmarried foreign couples allowed to share a hotel room?

Yes. Saudi Arabia updated its regulations a few years ago allowing foreign men and women to share a hotel room without needing to provide proof of marriage.

Do I need to carry cash, or are credit cards widely accepted?

Saudi Arabia is rapidly moving toward a cashless society. Credit cards, debit cards, and contactless payments (like Apple Pay) are universally accepted at almost all hotels, restaurants, and shops. It is still handy to carry a small amount of cash for traditional souks or tipping.
