Common questions

Quick answers about how ROVEA works.

How does booking a guide on ROVEA work?
Pick a city, browse verified guides, and send a booking request with your dates and group size. The guide confirms within hours, you pay securely through ROVEA, and you meet on the day. No upfront cash, no off-platform handoffs.
How do you verify the local guides?
Every guide submits a national ID or passport plus a selfie that we manually review. Where required, we also check the Saudi Ministry of Tourism license. Profiles only become public after this check passes.
What is the refund policy?
Cancellations more than 24 hours before the booking are fully refunded (100%). Between 2 and 24 hours before, 50% is refunded. Less than 2 hours before, the booking is non-refundable. Weather, guide cancellation, and verified emergencies are always refundable. See the full refund policy for the rules in detail.
Which languages do guides speak?
All guides speak Arabic, and most speak English. Many also offer French, Spanish, Urdu, or other languages — each profile lists the guide's confirmed languages.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, Mada, and Apple Pay through our secure payment provider. Bookings are held until the guide confirms; you are only charged once the booking is accepted.
Every expert. Verified.
