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.
What these figures assume
- South Africa is recorded as needing at least 8 days to make sense, so this page prices 10 days and 9 nights rather than the usual week.
- 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.
- 10 days means 9 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 8 days; the recorded ideal range is 12 to 21 days.
- Modelled from distance and market, not route-calibrated
