Why Fly to Jeddah for Umrah?
Jeddah has traditionally been the primary arrival point for pilgrims travelling to Makkah. Here are the main reasons why millions of pilgrims choose Jeddah as their Umrah entry point.
1. Closest Major Airport to Makkah
Jeddah is located approximately 70–100 km from Makkah, making it the nearest international airport to the holy city. From the airport, pilgrims can reach Makkah within 1 to 1.5 hours by road.
2. More Flight Availability
Since Jeddah is the main Umrah gateway, airlines operate frequent flights from the UK and other countries. This means you will find more airline choices, better flight schedules, and competitive prices.
3. Haramain High-Speed Train
Another convenient option is the Haramain High-Speed Railway, which connects Jeddah Airport to Makkah. The modern train can take pilgrims to Makkah in approximately 45–90 minutes, making it one of the fastest transport options.
