If you are to be away and must leave your Saluki behind, the most satisfactory arrangement would be to leave the dog with a relative or a friend with whom the dog is familiar. Barring this, you have several options.
BOARDING SALUKIS
If your relative or friend whom you can trust leaving your four legged companion is out of town then the next best option is to contact your breeder. Your Saluki will be under more regular observation, the breeder from whom you purchased your dog will be glad to house it on a temporary basis. I am always happy to look after my alumnus while their owners are away.
Next option is to employ a registered and educated pet sitter who will look after your dog in his or her home. If you can, arrange a few visits to the pet sitters home in advance so that it becomes a familiar place to your dog. Make sure your dog wears an ID tag at all times. Leave a good supply of his food with the sitter, plus notes on feeding, medical information, walking, bedtimes, and emergency contract numbers for you and for the vet. For elder and sensitive dogs it's better to leave them in their homes and have sitter come and spend time with them. It allows your Saluki to remain in the comfort of its home, albeit without the companionship of the owner. The sitter will visit your dog on a set schedule (usually morning, noon, and early evening) according to your and your dog's needs. The sitter is primarily there to deal with the dogs feeding, elimination needs, and if course good sitter also allot time for some exercise and play. This is also a great arrangement for households with multiple animals, as it allows the time you are away to be as "normal" as possible. Due to many tragic cases, I do not recommend leaving your dog with your housekeepers.
Commercial kennels offer boarding services for those with no other option and it must be your last option. Most kennels are clean and tend to all your pet's basic needs, but Arabian Salukis are very family-oriented and tend to miss the companionship they are used to when placed in closed boarding kennels. Staying in kennels can be more stressful for your dog than staying in a home environment so it is wise to visit the kennels before using them to see whether they are suitable. Few months before your holiday, check your dog's passport and make sure his or her vaccinations are up-to-date. If staying in boarding kennel, you will also be required to have Kennel Cough vaccine and spot on treatment from external and internal parasites.
