On Elliott's Instagram story, he posted a series of pictures and videos showing the pair trying Arabic coffee and snacks in the town of Diriyah, posing in front of buildings and enjoying a meal in the Riyadh Front shopping area.
Love ended the post with the hashtag Visit Saudi and it was met with a storm of criticism — with commenters calling the trip "immoral".
Saudi Arabia's government has copped heavy criticism for its human rights abuses, including its treatment of women and its LGBT community, and for repressing political opposition.
Entertainment journalist Peter Ford tweeted a link to a news article revealing Saudi Arabia recently "executed 81 convicts in a single day".
Ford added, "This is the country Georgia Love accepted a free trip to visit. Of the 81 you can be sure there is a disproportionate number of women, gays & possibly journalists. Did you really need a freebie trip that badly Georgia?"
She also faced pushback in her comments section.
"Sorry Georgia but supporting/promoting Saudi Arabia is incredibly wrong,'' one follower wrote.
"They executed 82 people a few days ago. Not to mention the lack of women's rights and the LGBTI+ community. Being a journalist, it might have been a good idea to research a country before promoting it. Their human rights are appalling. Disappointing. Seems a free holiday is more important than morals."
Another follower wrote: "Why not use your influence/platform to promote somewhere that doesn't have an atrocious record of human rights violations."
In response to one person's suggestion that it was a paid partnership, Love responded that it was not.
Some commented that the couple should be left to enjoy their holiday without negativity.
Elliott responded to critics on his post:
"I truly hear and understand what you're saying and where you're coming from," he said. "We thought long and hard about coming and we decided to come as the world is changing for the better and Saudi along with it.
"We strongly believe by Saudi opening up to the rest of the world and by tourists being here it has to be more accountable and hope this is a change for the better. Trust me we looked into it before coming and believe many things have changed for the better in more recent times and hope they continue to do so."
Love's latest gaffe comes just weeks after she revealed she's leaving her TV career behind at Channel Seven for a new job away from the cameras in PR.
She announced the news in a statement to the Daily Telegraph, telling the publication that she was excited to begin her next chapter in the media industry.
It comes approximately five months after Seven took the reality TV star off the air and moved her to a behind-the-scenes role after she received backlash for a controversial Instagram post.
She apologised after being accused of "casual racism" on Instagram when she posted a video of a cat at the glass door of an Asia restaurant. It was captioned "shop attendant or lunch?!" alongside a crying laughing emoji.
After Seven took "disciplinary action" against Love, she apologised to her colleagues in a staff email, saying, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt that I've caused and, in particular, for offence to the Asian community" and vowed to "earn your trust back".
Love is departing Channel 7 at the end of March and joining agency Enthral as a senior public relations and content manager.
She will be working across a new platform called The Good News, showcasing positive and uplifting news stories.
