Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning illustration for two adults sharing one room or unit, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout quotes. Breakfast allowances, transport, drinks and activities are MTC gross estimates, not supplier quotes. Not bookable, not a quote and not an annual default.
All three include breakfast (12 credited once) and are non-refundable. Only Dar Tantora is in Old Town. Every total carries a separately shown provisional hotel-tax reserve with the subtotal before it. Each example is headed by its hotel's name; the listing order follows room price, not quality.
Cloud7 Residence AlUla · Example A
Total for two adults
4,335.97 USD
Includes a PROVISIONAL hotel-tax reserve of 504.43 USD. Subtotal before the reserve: 3,831.54 USD. The tax is mandatory, not optional, but this is a calculated reserve — not an observed checkout total or a guaranteed maximum; replace it with the actual charges and never pay any part twice. All three offers include breakfast for two and are non-refundable. Hegra, Maraya and other admissions are not included or free; the activity line is a planning allowance. Qualified illustration, not a checkout quote: hotel prices are dated public room-table observations in whole US dollars; deposits and unlisted extras are unknown, not zero. Hotels are ordered by observed hotel price alone, not quality. A resort base, not in walkable Old Town. Breakfast for two is included, so 12 breakfasts are credited once and two outside breakfasts are budgeted.
