Hello everyone. I am new here and I was looking for some romantic places to go to for a weekend, for my first anniversary, which is on the new year's day. But I am on a budget.
Can anyone give me any suggestions please.

hamudi

Maybe if you tell us what your budget is then according to that people can suggest,

shaguftakhan14

Umm nothing too extravagant. But something romantic and special....For a weekend.

there's a restaurant called Diamond in Tahliyah street ,
i think its a nice place for what you want .
you can call them to prepare your table ( Flowers - candles - cake ) what ever you think about .

I want info of a weekend trip or something...

Omay

if you have enough budget there are some good restaurants at kingdom tower and Alfaisaliah tower

I want info about a weekend trip.

hamudi

Weekend in Paris, try it...

shaguftakhan14

Ooh thank you so much! I would never have thought of that on my own!!!😒

If anyone can suggest anything for a weekend trip in SAUDI ARABIA like i mentioned before, I'd really appreciate it.

hamudi

You're welcome, that's why we here on forums help each other  :rolleyes:

Romantic weekend getaway and Saudi Arabia don't go together...



If you just want a weekend trip  you have places like Al Baha where you'll find yourself surrounded by mountains and hilly areas.

and if all fails, you can spend your first anniversary in Makkah or Madinah under the light of God and pray for a better future with many romantic getaways....

Also what "romantic" stands in your books maybe different for someone...

shaguftakhan14

Hmmm true. Okay, I'll look at that place. Thanks!

You can go to a resort book a room there for a night. Spend your night on beachside . Does that sound romantic ? You can arrange music there. If budget is too low then don't book a room. You can still move around the resort by paring entry fee only . I think silver sands, bahadur resort , Sheraton resorts are a few examples

shaguftakhan14

I had narrowed it down to the same thing. But i wanted to know if they allow Indians to enter? Because as i read around, there is no phone number or such of these resorts and the security guard at the gate may allow a person to enter or not.
If we drive all the way up there and they don't let us enter, then the day will be ruined!
So, do you know if they allow Indians and any way to book beforehand?

S.khan89

Yes I'm sure about Sheraton resorts, durratul urus and bahadur resort. Indians are allowed to enter but not sure about rest

Romantic dinner at Alfaisaliah revolvong resto with the city lights background.

As we have limited choices here in Jeddah. I would like to suggest you to spend your weekend in beach side resorts where you can enjoy a calm and pleasant environment with some boat rides and jet skis.
Try resorts in Durrah Beach which is 80Kms (hardly 1 hour drive) away from Jeddah city, where you can find fine beaches with blue water and white sand. The resorts have affordable prices. One of the famous resort in Durrah Beach is Durrah Beach Resort.  (http://www.durrahbeach.com/). And you can find other resorts too.
Hope this information will help you. Thank you

shaguftakhan14

Thank you so much for the information.

Hi Shaguftakhan


There are heaps of places. E.g. if you like armanian food you can go to Lucin or maybe try Asse which is new and belongs to the famous singer asse alhilani.



Cheers,
