About Jeddah

Saudi Arabia’s second-largest city and the primary seaport on the Red Sea, Jeddah has long served as a crossroads of commerce, pilgrimage and culture. The city is home to more than 1,300 mosques, a thriving arts scene, and a cuisine shaped by Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and broader Asian influences. Key landmarks within easy reach of the airport include Bab Makkah (the historic entrance to Mecca) and the Quran Gate, alongside a calendar of art and film festivals held throughout the year.

A Note on King Abdulaziz International Airport’s History

Opened in 1981 after a six-year development period running from 1974 to 1980, King Abdulaziz International Airport was conceived to serve Jeddah’s role as the Red Sea’s principal port and the gateway for millions of pilgrims travelling to Mecca and Madinah each year. Its Hajj Terminal — capable of accommodating 80,000 people simultaneously and covering 460,000 m² — received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1983, recognised for its open-plan, environmentally considered design. The airport remains one of the largest of its kind in the world.
