Eid Staycations Gain Momentum in Saudi Arabia as Wego Records Rising Hotel Demand

Mar 18, 2026

Wego, the number one travel app and the largest online travel marketplace in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), has seen a surge in hotel searches across Saudi Arabia as residents increasingly explore Eid Al-Fitr getaways within the Kingdom.

As the holiday approaches, many travelers are exploring destinations that offer a mix of nature, culture, and coastal experiences without leaving Saudi Arabia. According to Wego data, several domestic leisure destinations are seeing increased interest as families and groups begin planning short Eid breaks.

Wego search trends show strong momentum for domestic travel across Saudi Arabia ahead of the Eid holiday,” said Craig Hewett, Co-Founder and Chief Hotels Officer at Wego. “Travelers across the Kingdom are increasingly exploring local destinations, and we’re seeing a noticeable rise in demand for hotels and resort stays. Saudi Arabia offers a growing range of hospitality experiences, making it easier than ever for residents to enjoy memorable Eid getaways within the country.”

Cities along the Red Sea coast, particularly Jeddah, are attracting travelers looking for seaside stays and waterfront resorts during the holiday. Heritage destinations such as AlUla are also drawing attention from visitors interested in combining Eid travel with cultural exploration and desert landscapes.

Mountain destinations including Abha and Taif are drawing interest from travelers seeking cooler climates and picturesque surroundings, positioning them as popular options for a relaxed Eid escape within the Kingdom.

The rise in hotel searches reflects how residents are using the Eid holiday to explore different regions of Saudi Arabia, with travelers prioritizing destinations that offer unique local experiences and comfortable hospitality options for family gatherings and leisure stays.

Many travelers are also taking advantage of the promocode WEGOSAVE26, which offers additional savings on selected hotel bookings across Saudi Arabia.
