Aerial view of Shura Island in the Red Sea

We represent Red Sea Global in the German-speaking market

The Red Sea holds island resorts, desert hotels and a wellness destination. 19 hotels are already open. We introduce them in person to travel agencies and tour operators, and we know each hotel first-hand.

Mandate

A new corner of the world for your guests

As you fly into Red Sea International Airport, it all lies below you: more than 90 islands in clear water, with desert mountains and dunes beyond. Red Sea Global is developing three destinations here with care for reef and desert: The Red Sea with islands, coast and desert, AMAALA on Triple Bay for health and calm, and the Thuwal Private Retreat, a private island with the highest level of privacy.

We represent Red Sea Global in the German-speaking market. We know the properties, their people and their character, and we help travel agencies and tour operators find the place where each guest truly arrives.

Red Sea International Airport (RSI) is the gateway to the destination. From December 2026 the airline beOnd has announced direct flights from Munich and Zurich.

The Red Sea

Where reefs meet desert peaks

As you fly into the solar-powered Red Sea International Airport, more than 90 islands lie below you in turquoise water, with dunes and the Hejaz mountains beyond. Twenty to thirty minutes after landing you are by the sea or in the desert. Since 2023 this coast has been opening to travellers, gently and with limited visitor numbers.

Shura Island

A long bridge with water on both sides takes you onto the main island. It holds six hotels, Shura Marina and Shura Links, according to the catalogue Saudi Arabia's first island golf course. A good place for families and for anyone who likes company in the evening.

The private islands

Further out, close to the barrier reef, it grows quiet. On the Ummahat Islands and Sheybarah you stay in villas over the water or on the beach and spend your days snorkelling, diving, sailing and kayaking. A boat takes you across from the Turtle Bay Hotel.

On the coast

If you want to move, Adrena is about 20 minutes from Shura Island, with surfing, cliff jumping, skating and BMX. Laha Beach is a women-only beach club with an all-female team, for a relaxed day among friends.

In the desert

Inland, dunes and wadis meet the Hejaz mountains. By day you hike, climb and cycle; at night a sky appears for which Desert Rock holds the DarkSky Approved seal.

Our recommendation

Combine sea and desert: a few days on Shura Island or a private island, then two nights among the rocks. That way you experience both sides of this coast in one trip.
