To start with, you have to know that choosing a flight date makes the cost of travel to Turkey vary from time to time according to the seasons and dates of the year, especially if we talk about airline tickets and hotel accommodations.
For example, if you stay away from weekends and public holidays, you will save a lot, and hotels during the tourist seasons increase their prices significantly, you can avoid that
Let’s calculate the estimated cost for two people on a trip to Turkey:
We start with the price of travel tickets to Turkey, where the average ticket price to Turkey at other times than busy seasons is about $ 400 (1500 SAR)
For average hotels, the price per night in it ranges between $ 100 (375 SAR) to 150 $ (560 SAR) if the room is double for two people.
As for the cost of food, there are many options, including high-end restaurants, including medium and popular restaurants. We can estimate the cost of daily food at $ 150 in high-end tourist restaurants and $ 70 ($ 260) in medium restaurants.
Transportation varies according to the location of the residence, as there are hotels close to most of the city’s sights that you can reach on foot and there are places of residence far from the city center, but on average, the daily cost of public transportation reaches $ 20, while renting a private car can reach $ 120 ( 450 SAR)
Finally, the personal expense can be considered an amount of $ 300 (1125 SAR) appropriate if we consider shopping from this expense
So we have the total as follows:
800 $ (3000 SAR) The price of two travel tickets + 1000 $ (3750 SAR) approx housing for 7 nights + 100 $ (375 SAR) private car for airport transfers + 120 $ (450 SAR) transportation + 140 $ (525 SAR) daily food cost + 600 $ (2250 SAR) expenses for two people = 2760 $ (10350 SAR)
