Why book domestic flights in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia is an amazing country that has beautiful desert landscapes and the pride of being the birthplace of Islam. The country is an extremely important and spiritual place for Muslim people, as the home to Mecca and Medina, which are both forbidden for non-muslims. However, there are plenty of other amazing places to visit within the country and the country has become more tourist frie

If you already live in Saudi Arabia, you'll know that the country is too large to travel around just by road. For those that don't live within Saudi Arabia, it's 3x the size of Texas! This means that if you're travelling from one side of the country to the other, a domestic flight is the best way to travel.

For example, travelling from Riyadh (in the centre of the country) to Al-Jawf (in the north) by road can take at least nine hours. Whereas, a flight between the same destinations only takes one hour and fifty minutes!
