AlUla Expands Winter Air Service to 27 Weekly Flights, Easing Access to Northwest Arabia

General

Riyadh: AlUla is gearing up for a busy winter season with an expanded network of international flights, providing easier access to the oasis in northwest Arabia through services to major regional destinations and links via global hubs. From October 26, 2025, to March 28, 2026, AlUla International Airport will welcome 27 flights per week, including three weekly connections via Doha operated by Qatar Airways and the reintroduction of Royal Jordanian's twice-weekly service between AlUla and Amman.

According to Saudi Press Agency, with regular flights to more than 90 countries from its global hub at Doha's Hamad International Airport, Qatar Airways' AlUla service connects northwest Arabia with potential visitors from every continent. More than a route, the AlUla-Amman connection strengthens cultural ties between lands shaped by the ancient Nabataean civilization: Jordan's Petra and AlUla's Hegra, Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The winter schedule to and from AlUla includes: SAUDIA with two daily flights, one from Riyadh and one from Jeddah; Flynas offering five weekly flights from Riyadh on Monday, Friday, and Sunday, and from Dammam on Thursday and Saturday; Flydubai providing three weekly flights between Dubai and AlUla on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday; Qatar Airways operating three weekly flights from Doha on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday; and Royal Jordanian running two weekly flights from Amman on Thursday and Sunday, from October 19, 2025, to February 26, 2026.

This seasonal increase in airlift ensures that visitors from across the region and beyond can easily reach AlUla's remarkable natural landscapes, luxury hospitality, rich heritage, and diverse events and experiences under the AlUla Moments calendar during the cooler months, one of the best times to explore this unique destination.
