You may pay amount of one year membership,but you need another permission for entry due to pandemic.There are 200 members,but 80 members allowed for entry.
Management of this beach gives priority to non members during weekdays and keeping members without permit.
This is smart and cheap way to earn extra money.
Membership doesn’t help anybody at this time in this beach.

So, yesterday my husband and our friend went to Silver Sands for a relaxing day at the beach. We arrived late, at about 1pm and it was very busy. Looking around we saw no order to the beach, it seemed chaotic, like people had moved sun-loungers around, etc. so we assumed that we could grab a lounger and find a free space to sit in. An Indian attendant even helped us to move them an brushed the sand off the cushions for us.

As he was walking away, a 20-something-year old Arab guy dressed like everyone else on the beach, came up to us shouting 'You can't sit there! Here everyone has his place. You sit there, you block the view of the other people!' Now, his tone of voice was hostile and aggressive, but we kept calm at first and apologised, saying we didn't know that, and looking down the beach, seeing a clear area of sand at the far end, we asked if it would be OK to sit there instead. His face told us how ridiculous a request that was as he scathingly said 'That's VIP - you want to spend 90,000?!!' in the rudest manner I think he possibly could muster. At this point I couldn't control myself. I said to him that he didn't need to be so rude to us, to which he began to lecture us on the fact that we were in the wrong about choosing to sit where we did. He even lied and said that the Indian attendant told us to move and we refused, which DID NOT HAPPEN - the Indian guy was nothing but helpful and obliging!!

Now, I get that these places have rules - that's not the problem here. If he had come over and politely explained to us the beach's policy, we would have apologised for sitting there, explained that it was our first time at the beach and moved on. However, being spoken to so rudely left us so taken-aback that I felt I needed to report this to his superior. I asked him if I could speak to the manager, to which he replied that he was the manager. I then asked if there was someone there with a higher level of authority than him, so I could talk to him. He said (I kid you not) 'What, you want me to call the owner in London?' with a sarcastic, offensive drawl as if we were the most stupid people in the world. He then tried to herd us down the beach, basically pushing us out of the way, at which point I said that rather than being treated in such a way, I'd rather get our money back and head somewhere else.

Getting our money back was no problem. But the entire time we were walking back to the reception he berated us with derogatory comments, which offended us greatly. After giving our money back we told him that, as residents of Sharbatly compound, which is linked with Silver Sands, we would definitely make a complaint both to the compound and to his boss. At this point he puffed up his chest and tried to behave even more superior to us 'lowly' creatures by name-dropping all the Sharbatly brothers as if he had some incredible 'wasta' (influence with 'powerful' people), then he began chiding us and started prodding his hands IN MY FACE to make his point!!! What an aggressive gesture for a man to make towards a woman!! My husband lost it at this point and would have probably hit the guy had I not been there. By this time we were all shouting at each other. I asked him to give us a business card so that we may know his name in order to make a formal complaint. Conveniently he didn't have one (what kind of 'luxury' resort manager dresses like a beach bum and doesn't carry a business card?!). He tried to satisfy us by giving a phone number (the enquiries line - useless) and wrote his name very sloppily on a piece of paper - illegible handwriting means that I cannot even identify the name of this man apart from the fact it starts with a Z.

I fully plan to chase this up until I receive a full apology. No one should speak to another the way he spoke to us, and I am disgusted by the level of customer service at this 'resort'. Unfortunately this 'gentleman' made one grave error when he tried to take us on. He judged us by our young appearance and assumed us to be of little status. Had he asked to see our iqamas he would have immediately recognised the yellow card which reveals diplomatic status. And with diplomatic status comes enough 'wasta' to ensure that the right people hear about his appalling level of customer service.

Is it necessary to bring a passport? Do they accept every nationality besides Saudi? Also, are you not allowed to wear abaya when you arrive? Also, how old do you have to be? I'm 16 and I want to go with my friends. Thank you!
