About

Silver Sands

Read full description

Silver Sands Beach is a private members' beach resort on the Red Sea in Obhur, Jeddah. This app is the member's companion to the club. YOUR MEMBER CARD A digital membership card with your personal gate QR code. Approach the gate and your pass surfaces automatically using the resort's gate beacon. GUEST DAY PASSES Invite guests in seconds. Your guest receives their own pass, pays their day fee in the app when applicable, and enters with a QR at the gate. BOOKINGS & EVENTS Reserve club facilities, follow this week's programme, and receive club announcements and reminders. ON-GROUNDS SERVICES (OPTIONAL) While you're inside the resort — and only if you choose to enable it — share your location to have a golf cart come to exactly where you are, and get checked out automatically when you leave. Sharing works only inside the resort boundary, keeps no history, and is deleted the moment you exit. You can turn it off at any time with one tap. Membership at Silver Sands Beach is open to the public — apply at silversands.rumaaan.com. The app is available in English and Arabic. Note: continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
