A recently conducted survey in Saudi Arabia revealed that Saudi nationals chose Jeddah, Beirut, Sharem El-Sheikh, Hurghada and Dubai as their preferred holiday destinations for the upcoming Eid Al-Adha holiday, reported Al-Hayat. Due to the recent downturn in the international tourism sector, many travel packages are being offered at discounted prices. In Egypt, Saudis can travel to Sharem El-Sheikh for 1,400 Saudi riyals ($370), transportation, and meals included. A similar deal was offered for SR 2,500 ($666) to Beirut and Dubai. — (menareport.com)
