Affordable 4 Star Hotels In The Middle East 🇸🇦 🇦🇪 🇶🇦 🇴🇲 🇰🇼 🇧🇭 vs Affordable 4 Star Hotels In Europe 🇪🇺. You will never fully understand how desperately disappointed I was by the affordable 4 Star Hotels in Europe. It is the saddest thing to see a civilisation crumbling right in front of your eyes. How can a 4 Star Hotel fail to have a 24 hour reception? Such are the short cuts in service currently subsisting in Europe, and one of the telltale signs of economies in dire straits. You see, in the same month that I travelled to The Sharjah, UAE 🇦🇪, I also travelled to Rome 🇮🇹 and Barcelona 🇪🇸, and so got to experience how badly standards have fallen in Europe, yet prices are at an all time high. In the Middle East, on the other hand, prices are rock bottom, and the service standards very high. Let me bottomline it for you, if you want a value for money Hotel experience, go to the Gulf Cooperation Council Region - Oman, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE. #VisitSharjah #Sharjah #UAE 🇦🇪.

Sindalah, Trojena, The Red Sea - all those bombastic Saudi projects you're seeing are only for 20% of travelers heading to Saudi Arabia... One thing I was really focused on at ATM last week was the narrative of Saudi Arabia being 'too expensive' for tourists. Skift did a piece on the matter from what we heard at Future Hospitality Summit the week prior. At ATM, we had no shortage of input from leaders across the industry on the issue, including Fahd Hamidaddin, the CEO of Saudi Tourism Authority | الهيئة السعودية للسياحة. Here's what you need to know: The giga-projects are expensive, but their purpose isn't just to drive up tourism numbers. That task will be for the many, many mid-market hotels and alternative accomodations Hamidaddin says Saudi will be announced between now and 2030. Also at ATM, several decision-makers in the hotel sector weighed in, as did Diriyah Gate Development Authority.
