To show how Tamara can split the cost of your Riyadh Air tickets, here is an example for a popular route once flights launch.
Flights from Riyadh (RUH) to Cairo (CAI) often cost around SAR 470 to SAR 690 for a return trip when booked in advance, so let’s use SAR 600 as a guide:

- Pay in 3 = Split into 3 monthly payments of SAR 200. Interest-free.
- Pay in 4 = Split into 4 monthly payments of SAR 150. Interest-free.
- Tamara Plus (Saudi Arabia only) - Eligible customers may be able to spread SAR 600 over 6, 9 or 12 months. Instalment amounts depend on your selected plan and approval.
Tamara charges 0% interest and no hidden fees when payments are made on time. The plans you see at checkout will depend on your location, booking value and approval.
Alternative Airlines will display all available Tamara instalment options clearly before you confirm your Riyadh Air booking, so you can choose a plan that fits your budget as soon as flights go live.
