Party size, rooms and what the totals mean

Every row is a whole-party total in SAR: rooms are counted at two travellers per room, and the per-person column simply divides that total by the number of travellers. No child age, child fare or child discount is modelled anywhere, so a family row prices its travellers as one room for every two travellers.

Guide: comparing destinations on the total budget

What these figures assume

  • Rooms are counted at two people per room. No family-room or triple capacity is assumed, and no children's discount is applied, because neither is recorded.
  • 7 days means 6 nights of accommodation.
  • Flights are priced from Riyadh. A different origin changes the getting-there figure, not the being-there figure.
  • Priced at the destination's typical month: Seasonal price level: High.
  • Recorded sensible minimum is 3 days; the recorded ideal range is 4 to 5 days.
  • Modelled from distance and market, not route-calibrated

The cost model behind this page has a baseline date of 2026-09-13. It is the model baseline, not the date of the underlying airfare, hotel or price references — any dated sample on this page carries its own dates, shown with it. Prices are planning estimates, not quotes or availability. See which data the estimates use and when it was recorded

Where the ground-cost figures for Osaka come from

Two different things are shown on this page. The table above is our engine adapting a sample to a Riyadh departure, a flexible month and your chosen party, with flights modelled separately. The block below is the original dated sample the ground-cost side of that estimate rests on.

The dated source sample

2026-10-05 to 2026-10-11 — 6 nights across 7 calendar days, 2 adults sharing 1 room. Ground spending only: international airfare is not part of this sample.

Scope: Osaka city — Kita, Nakanoshima, Minami, the castle, Tennoji and the bay. Kyoto, Nara, Minoh and the southern prefecture beaches are excluded.

The three supplied ground-cost tiers

TierPer person, per day
Budget⁨95 USD⁩ – ⁨100 USD⁩
Mid-range⁨148 USD⁩ – ⁨154 USD⁩
Luxury⁨201 USD⁩ – ⁨218 USD⁩

On-the-ground US dollars, per person, per day, excluding international airfare.

What separates these tiers in the source record: The three tiers are the hotel and room styles that were sampled for this city. Each scenario below names its hotel, room, rate terms and tax treatment. A tier is a lodging style, not a price ladder, and sampled tiers can overlap.

The party table above is modelled from these ground figures and adds a separately modelled flight. Only the ground side excludes international airfare; the table totals do not, when flights are switched on.

How to read these costs

  • Tiers describe the hotel and meal style that was sampled, not a price ladder; sampled tiers can overlap.

The six dated scenarios, line by line

Six dated, itemised scenarios from 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-11: 6 nights and 7 calendar days for two adults in one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
