King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED), located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is a major gateway to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. Opened in 1981, it is one of the busiest airports in the Middle East, particularly during the Hajj and Umrah seasons. The airport recently underwent significant expansion with the opening of the new Terminal 1, which offers modern facilities, including a vast duty-free shopping area, numerous dining options, prayer rooms, and luxury lounges.

Additionally, there is a dedicated Hajj Terminal, designed specifically to handle the influx of pilgrims during the Hajj season, capable of accommodating up to 80,000 passengers at a time.

The airport is a hub for Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) and Flyadeal, and it serves many other international carriers such as Emirates, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, and EgyptAir, providing connections to destinations across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America.

Public transportation options include taxis, which are readily available outside the terminals, as well as ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem. The airport is connected to Jeddah's city center and other regions by a network of highways, and ample parking facilities are available, catering to both short-term and long-term parking needs.
