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 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.
City Tower includes breakfast (12 credited once); Oasis and the BHomed apartment include none. Lunch and dinner use Mais Alghanim's menu. BHomed is a two-bedroom apartment in Shaab, not a central hotel. Hotels are ordered by price alone, not quality.

Salmiya and Messilah resort stays, Failaka Island and cross-border driving are excluded.
