This is a tailor-made program — you choose your dates and options, and we confirm stays, transfers and seats to you on request (indicative estimate). Experiences (tours and workshops) can be bundled on. Fixed group departures, when offered, are sold as a set tour group under separate group terms.

Why these dates

The sweet spot before year-end: Red Sea water still ~28°C for diving and snorkelling, AlUla a comfortable ~26°C by day — and you travel before the December–February high season when AlUla rates and crowds peak.

Good to know

Tailor-made, confirmed by us

Nothing is held until we come back to you. Send the request with your dates and we confirm stays, transfers and seats — then you pay.

What the estimate covers

Stays, transfers and road legs price at listed rates; seats on tours and workshops price per person. On-the-ground only — no flights, no add-ons.

Stays on this route

Where a night is in one of our own properties we book it direct. Anywhere else, we hold a partner room on the same dates — swap either without changing the rest of the route.

Private, or a group departure

By default this runs for your party alone on your dates. Fixed group departures, when we offer them, are sold as a set tour group under separate group terms.
