Alumni know the Kingdom better than any guide. Suggest a spot and the committee will add it to the planner.
How the planner decides
- Forecast from Open-Meteo for the coming Friday and Saturday. Above 38°C, afternoons go indoors and outdoor ideas move after Maghrib.
- Prayer times from Aladhan using the Umm al-Qura calculation, so the plan sits between Asr and Isha where it should.
- Desert and beach classics only appear from November to March.
- Every place opens in Google Maps by name; bookings go through the official site where one exists.
