Frequently Asked Questions
A rocky islet in the Red Sea off the Saudi coast, where Cruise Saudi opened the Saba Beach resort in December 2024. It is the Saudi equivalent of the private islands the Caribbean knows well.
Only AROYA Cruises passengers. The islet cannot be visited any other way: there is no village, no road and no independent access.
A contrast: arid mineral relief - jabal means mount in Arabic - dropping into astonishingly clear turquoise water fringed with golden sand. The sense of elsewhere comes precisely from that bare landscape.
Swim, book a cabana for shade, eat at the restaurant or bars, and choose between the floating water park, snorkelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, walking or quad riding up to the heights. Children head straight for the inflatable park anchored in the lagoon.
Very good, and accessible. Outings organized from shore reveal clownfish, moray eels and hard coral gardens a few metres out. The shallows stay full of fish, which suits beginners and accompanied children.
Yes. Cabanas and diving outings should be booked at embarkation, because places go quickly. Waiting until the day of the call usually means missing out.
Very little naturally: the ground is bare and mineral. Shade comes from the cabanas and the resort's structures. A hat, water bottle and sun protection are essential, and it is one reason to book a cabana.
Very much so. A floating water park, clear shallow water and accessible snorkelling make the day easy to organize. Bring water shoes for the coral areas and watch sun exposure.
Yes, swimwear is permitted on the resort's beaches. It is a defined exception: elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, modest dress is still expected.
Usually between Jeddah and the other Saudi Red Sea calls. It is the relaxed day in a circuit otherwise packed with historic sites.
