Guests arrive at AQUA from across the Gulf, the wider Middle East, and beyond — each with a clear reason. Years of postponed care. A smile that finally feels right. A complex case that needs more than one specialist in the room. We handle everything else: the hotel, the transfers, a tight schedule woven between the Corniche and the clinic, and the paperwork at arrival.
"Advancing health tourism in the Kingdom" is a stated pillar of AQUA's vision. Receiving international patients isn't incidental to what we do — it has been a core part of the practice since day one, designed into the way we work.
"AQUA Dent Clinics is more than a dental practice — we have a holistic approach."

Compared to the Gulf and Europe, the same standard of care in Saudi Arabia runs a third to half less — while leaving room for a polished stay on the Red Sea waterfront.
For travelling patients, we compress the full plan into one or two weeks — back-to-back appointments choreographed by the same team, rather than months of scattered visits.
A clinic on the waterfront, five-star hotels minutes away, and the Jeddah Corniche at the door.
Hotel suggestions, airport transfers, an Umrah arrangement if you wish, and a light city programme threaded between your sessions.
Virtual consultations, written aftercare, and a referral to a trusted clinician at home where needed — you aren't left alone once the flight lands.
WhatsApp or the form — send a few photos of your teeth and a note on what you hope the trip achieves.
Within one dayA video call with a consultant — an initial review and an indicative plan with pricing.
30 minutesWe propose the length of stay, a hotel from our shortlist, and a day-by-day schedule — no commitment yet.
One weekA concentrated schedule with room to rest, walk the Corniche, and discover the city between sessions.
3–14 daysA virtual check-in every three months for the first year — no need to fly back unless it is truly required.
Long-termA considered shortlist of hotels near the clinic, grouped by budget. All are on the waterfront or within a fifteen-minute drive. We suggest them; we don't book on your behalf.
A contemporary five-star on the waterfront with a full spa and rooftop pool — a calm setting for recovery after surgical work.
Palace-style suites, a Guerlain spa, and the Red Sea thirty metres away — discreet and executive, for longer implant courses.
203 rooms plus 18 in-house serviced apartments, a hammam, and a kids' club — the natural fit for families travelling together.
A sea-view restaurant, a gym, a hammam, and a women's salon — strong value on the same road as the clinic.
A dependable five-star, fifteen minutes from the airport — a practical pick for guests combining treatment with other business in the city.
Four in-house restaurants (useful for patients on a soft-food diet post-op), an outdoor pool, and a spa.
180 rooms, a rooftop terrace, a spa, and a steam room — an economical choice for a fortnight-long stay.
The most affordable Accor option with a trusted name, walkable to Tahlia Street for dinner — suited to longer implant stays.
Serviced apartments with full kitchens, one to three bedrooms, on Tahlia Street — better weekly rates for extended implant courses.
Rates are indicative for 2026 and shift with the season — Hajj, Formula 1, and Eid all affect availability. Send us your dates and we will suggest an option that fits.
Some plans leave a two-hour gap between appointments; others open up a full day. The Corniche, Al-Balad, and the Red Sea are all less than half an hour away. A short list we suggest to our guests.
A thirty-kilometre seafront promenade right outside the clinic — cafés, an open-air sculpture trail, and the Red Sea in view.
Maps →The tallest fountain in the world at 312 metres — lit at night and visible from much of the Corniche.
Maps →A mosque resting on columns above the Red Sea — it appears to float at high tide.
Maps →More than twenty modern sculptures — Henry Moore, Joan Miró, Calder — set along the Corniche.
Maps →The old quarter, with its carved wooden "rawasheen" latticed balconies — a UNESCO World Heritage site, traditional cafés, and Saudi Season events.
Maps →An 1881 merchant's house where King Abdulaziz once stayed — one of the finest restored examples of Hejazi architecture.
Maps →Four buildings that span Islamic, Saudi, and Hejazi heritage — ideal context for first-time visitors.
Maps →The largest mall in western Saudi Arabia — international brands, a food court, a cinema, and welcome respite from the heat.
Maps →Byblos (Lebanese), Nozomi (refined Japanese), Toki (pan-Asian). And Al-Baik for the city's celebrated fried chicken — SAR 25 a meal, a local rite of passage.
Maps →A mid-range mall with a family entertainment zone — handy on the final day before flying out.
Maps →Reef diving, yacht charters, and beach resorts — the Red Sea experience as it is meant to be.
Maps →Saudi Arabia's only aquarium — a good way to spend an hour or two out of the heat.
fakiehaquarium.com →Mountains at 1,700 metres, rose farms (peaking March–April), and the Shafa viewpoints — a full day out.
Maps →Most of our Gulf guests pair treatment with Umrah — we can introduce a licensed Umrah operator to take care of the arrangements.
Ask concierge →A conversation with Dr. Mohamed Bamashmous on AQUA's philosophy — the boutique model versus the traditional practice, and the partnership with Finland's Planmeca.
Read on Dental Tribune →AQUA is a recognised showcase clinic for Planmeca's Finnish equipment — CBCT, intraoral scanner, and a digital smile design workflow.
Planmeca case study →Every international patient gets a dedicated trip coordinator who manages the timeline, travel paperwork, hotels, transfers, and medical follow-up after you return home. No surprises.
Don't worry if some are missing — we can compensate with in-clinic records. But having them speeds up your first visit and avoids duplicate imaging.
