4 Days. 2n YANBU 4* (BB) I 1n UMLUJ 5* (BB)

About the destination: At first glance, with its port, refineries and petrochemical plants, Yanbu might not seem like the Kingdom's most appealing spot. But it's quickly becoming the top tourist destination in the country, with its top-notch scuba-diving spots and pristine white sandy beaches, many of which have resorts and private beaches designed for families. The industrial part of Yanbu is a good 10km to 15km south of the city centre and doesn't really affect the stunning beaches to the north. The city centre is small but charming, with a relaxed atmosphere that's not found in the larger cities. Just outside the town is a vast, open desert that leads to the water, and it's here that most visitors spend their time: imagine sitting on the beach with few, if any, people on either side of you. The Hajj season, which attracts large crowds, is the exception.

About the destination: Umluj is a city in the Tabuk province of Saudi Arabia. The city has a port. Umluj is located 130 km from Yanbu and 500 km from Tabuk, the provincial capital. Umluj is situated on the coast of the Red Sea, at approximately latitude 25°5' and longitude 37°14', between the cities of Yanbu to the south and Al Wajh to the north. Umluj is home to many sites with historical artifacts. In recent years, the city has grown and developed due to the opening of the sea route between Duba (in Saudi Arabia) and Safaga (in Egypt). Off the coast of Umluj, there are many islands. The most famous are Jabal Hassan and Umm Sajarah. In addition to these, there is a group of seven small islands to the north of Umluj known as the Al-Faida Islands. There is also an island called San, which lies to the north of the city before Wadi Al-Jamad. In ancient times, Umluj was one of the largest trading cities in Saudi Arabia (after Mecca). However, over time, trade in the city declined. Umluj has a population of 38,000. Most residents work in fishing, agriculture, and herding.
