Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez is revealing everything that made her birthday really unforgettable after returning from a recent trip to Saudi Arabia. Jackie, accompanied by her parents, embarked on a much-needed vacation from the bustle of Mumbai, beginning her journey to Saudi Arabia with a visit to the Red Sea and concluding in the country’s capital, Riyadh. Look no farther if you’re seeking for suggestions that meet every need on your A-list!

Where to Stay:

Jacqueline decided to begin at Nujuma, a Ritz Carlton Reserve located on Ummahat Island in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea. This private island, one of only seven Ritz-Carlton Reserves globally, is renowned for its pristine natural beauty and colorful coral reefs. The hotel’s every crevice pays homage to Saudi Arabia’s rich architectural history while blending in perfectly with its immaculate surroundings.

The Bollywood actor chose the Mansard Riyadh, a Radisson Collection hotel in the center of Riyadh that provides opulent facilities and top-notch service.

Where to dine:

A satisfying palette is essential to the ideal vacation. With the ideal blend of Levantine food and French-style confectionery, Sita in Nujuma was an incredible highlight for the Indian-Sri Lankan star. Sita skillfully conveys the spirit of elegance and peace with a setting reminiscent of bygone bazaars. Jackie enjoyed the special meal at the resort’s Neyrah Spa in Nujuma after her Hatha yoga practice.

The Flamingo Room in Diriyah was another place Jackie had to see while in Riyadh; it was the ideal location for Jacqueline’s birthday celebration. Situated amid the picturesque banks of the Wadi Hanifah riverbed, in the center of Riyadh’s historic and cultural district, this restaurant combines bright aesthetics with exquisite food, giving it the perfect place for an elegant dining experience. There is a lot on their menu that is sure to satisfy vegetarians like Jackie. (Hint: be sure to sample the butternut carpaccio!)

How to proceed:

A trip to Galaxia and The WAMA Sailing Club for some aquatic fun is a must while visiting Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea. This is the location of the fourth biggest barrier reef system in the world, offering scuba diving experiences that highlight the rich biodiversity of the Red Sea. On her birthday, Jacqueline decided to go sailing and snorkeling with her parents, but you can also dive, paddle board, or even kayak around the beautiful waters of the Red Sea.

Nothing warms the soul more than a restorative spa treatment, and at Nujuma’s Neyrah Spa, skilled professionals provide a variety of customized treatments, including sound therapy, meditation, and moon yoga. In the evenings, go down to the beach and have medicinal herbal teas or nutritious smoothies while watching the sun set from Nujuma’s Affia, a cozy lounge at the resort with a view of the ocean.

The spa in Mansard Riyadh has a tonne of choices as well. Being Riyadh’s first premium L’Occitane spa, it offers a calm setting for rest and renewal. The spa offers individualized experiences together with holistic techniques that are influenced by Provencal culture. The spa offers enticing aromas and furnishings with a French influence, promising a memorable experience.

How to get there:

India is about a 5-hour flight away from Saudi Arabia. There are up to seven more airlines that provide direct flights to Saudi Arabia; Jacqueline selected Saudia Airlines.

Upon arrival at Saudi international airports, Indian nationals having a valid tourist or business visa from the United States, the United Kingdom, or any other Schengen country, together with a stamped proof of entry, are eligible to receive both the eVisa and the visa. Individuals who do not meet the aforementioned requirements may apply for the visa at any one of the 11 Tasheer Centers located around the nation. For a little price, Indian travelers may apply for a Stopover visa on the Saudia Airline and Flynas websites. This visa is valid for up to 96 hours and can be acquired 90 days in advance.
