Dated cost examples
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 example for two adults sharing one room or unit, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel offers observed 1 October 2026 (quoted in EUR); restaurant menu checked 1 October 2026. Not a booking quote, a checkout price or an annual default; reprice your own dates, party and room.
The studio includes breakfast for two, so 12 breakfasts are deducted once; the two other hotels are room only, so every breakfast is budgeted. Breakfast is an MTC gross planning allowance of 40 SAR per person-meal, not a supplier quote. Lunch and dinner are benchmarks from the public Enabayeh restaurant at Grape Farm (menu checked 1 October 2026, VAT included), which opens noon to midnight and is not a breakfast venue; January prices are not guaranteed. Only the studio example carries a 468.95 EUR refundable deposit, held as extra cash and not counted as spending. Local rides cover urban Abha; Al Soudah, Rijal Almaa and mountain excursions are excluded. Transport, additional drinks and activities are MTC allowances, not quotes.

Practical notes
Arrival is Abha International Airport (AHB); the airport car allowance covers AHB to an urban Abha hotel only. Check the exact property approach, slopes and walking conditions before booking a scenic stay. Group city stops together and price Al Soudah, Rijal Almaa and other mountain or village excursions separately.
Limits of these examples
