What is Saudi Arabia's 20-hour hotel rule? Ministry of Tourism enforces strict fixed check-out policy

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Tourism enforces a strict 20-hour hotel stay rule: check-out times remain fixed regardless of late arrivals. Hotels must guarantee at least 20 hours of room use and clearly state check-in and check-out times in reservations. This policy balances guest rights with hotel needs for thorough room preparation, ensuring quality service and transparency for all travelers.
