Saudi Pro League stars explore Red Sea coast on luxury trip

- Arab News Dubai

Saudi Pro League superstars Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho Tavares and Roger Ibanez recently enjoyed a Red Sea holiday with their families — and they treated their followers on social media to insights from the luxury trip.

The group took in the Red Sea islands by air, accompanie­d by the Chief Administra­tive Officer of Red Sea Global Ahmed Ghazi Darwish, the Saudi Press Agency reported. Ronaldo's partner, Argentinia­n model Georgina Rodriguez, also documented the trip on Instagram with a bevvy of family shots.

“Love in paradise. We keep discoverin­g Saudi Arabia,” Rodriguez posted from a Red Sea resort, while tagging @VisitSaudi, the official tourism account of Saudi Arabia. The photograph­s include shots of the couple and their children enjoying a day at the beach before posing for a photograph on an overwater deck.

The Al-Nassr footballer and his family often use his downtime to explore the country and the famous couple was spotted in AlUla in December. “Amazed by the extraordin­ary human and natural heritage of AlUla here in Saudi Arabia,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram at the time.

The couple enjoyed a romantic dinner and visited AlUla's Maraya, a multi-purpose venue that holds the Guinness World Record as the largest mirrored building with 9,740 glass panels. It is located 12 km from Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage site, Hegra.

Rodriguez has also been enjoying Saudi Arabia's social scene without her famous partner — earlier in March she was seen at an event hosted by Saudi perfume label Laverne in Riyadh.

The Netflix star, who has her own reality show titled “I Am Georgina,” took control of the brand's Snapchat account, offering followers an exclusive glimpse into her experience at the event. In March 2023, Rodriguez collaborat­ed with the brand on a campaign — and she answers candid questions about her time in the Kingdom in the new clip. “I feel very safe in this country and really appreciate its family values,” she said in the stylish video posted on social media at the time.*
