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 illustration for two adults sharing one room, 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; the restaurant's website menu was reviewed the same day. Breakfast, transport, extra drinks and activities are MTC gross allowances. Not a booking quote or an annual default.
Best Western is room only (14 breakfasts budgeted as the 25 SAR MTC allowance); ibis and Clarion include breakfast for two, so 12 breakfasts are credited once there. Hotel prices are dated public room-table observations, not checkout quotes: two are whole-riyal displays and Clarion keeps its observed cents. Lunch and dinner use Fresh Cuts website prices with VAT included. Hotels are ordered by hotel price alone, not fixed budget tiers.

Practical notes
Arrival is King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED); confirm the terminal and pickup point. The airport car allowance covers JED to the priced hotel only. The meal prices come from Fresh Cuts in Al Salamah (Rami Roundabout), so each meal is a ride from the hotels; Al Balad and the Corniche are further rides again, and spread-out plans may need more rides than the allowance. Umrah, Makkah transfers, diving, boat trips and private beach clubs are outside these examples.
Limits of these examples
Covers Jeddah city: Al Balad, central neighbourhoods and the waterfront. Pilgrimage packages, Makkah transfers, offshore diving and private beach clubs are excluded. Prices are dated snapshots for 19–25 January 2027, not year-round ranges or calculator defaults.
