Gathern

Gathern is a licensed platform in Saudi Arabia where private hosts rent out places to stay. Through it you can reserve flats and chalets, villas and farms, resorts, camps and caravans. The listings number more than 50,000 across over 200 cities and provinces of the kingdom, including Riyadh, Jeddah and Taif.

Booking takes three steps. Filters help you find a place that fits your budget, from affordable to luxury, and choose between daily and monthly rent. The app offers reviews and confirmed bookings. There are options for vacations, family trips and getaways in nature.

It is meant for travelers and families planning a trip around Saudi Arabia. An internet connection is needed to search and book. The listings are in Saudi Arabia, so the app has little use for stays elsewhere.
