To Madinah (MED)
Closer to the Prophet's Mosque but fewer flights. Often more expensive than Jeddah. Consider flying into MED and out of JED (Open Jaw).

🏙️ Business & Tourism (Riyadh & Al Ula)
Dubai to Riyadh: The busiest business route in the Middle East. Over 20 flights a day. Prices are high on weekdays, lower on weekends.
Dubai to Al Ula: FlyDubai operates direct seasonal flights to this historic wonder. It is pricey but saves a 10-hour drive from Jeddah.
🚌 The "Budget" Bus Option
SAPTCO Bus
If flights are too expensive (e.g., during Ramadan), you can take a luxury bus from Dubai/Sharjah to Riyadh or Makkah. It takes 20-25 hours but costs only AED 250-350.
💡 Visa Rules (2025 Update)
- GCC Residents: If you have a valid UAE residency, you can get a 1-year multiple entry eVisa for Saudi Arabia instantly online. It costs ~300 SAR.
