Our stay-🏚 We stayed in yanbu which is 2hours away drive from Umluj. We booked @novotel_yanbu through booking.com for three nights.
Umluj Boat ride-🛥 We booked our ride from @umluj_serves. There are different rates for different boats and yachts. You can choose your timings, we went from 9am to 1pm. We were a group of 10 people and opted for this boat in frame and it costed us total sr1000 + sr130 (fruit basket) for 4 hours.
Keep exploring for more boats as you can get cheaper ones too, we got to know about the cheaper ones after we had booked and did the advance payment. So keep contacting different boat guides.
Activities-🚤 •If you're lucky then you can get to see dolphins, turtles and fish. Unfortunately we couldn't see dolphins or turtles.🐬🐢🐠 Tip- carry khubs or roti so that seagulls can come closer to you.
• Our boat anchored into the middle of the sea where there was shallow water and we stayed there for around 2 hours. It was definitely the best experience from the whole boat ride. Swimming, floating and relaxing and clicking pictures. All you could see was crystal clear water and beautiful shades of blue around till far. 😍 • Fishing- none of us were interested in it so we didn't do fishing. 🐠
Definitely a mesmerising experience for...
