This newly reopened airport will take you directly to AMAALA
Summer getaway incoming
Red Sea Global has just announced the reopening of AlWajh International Airport in Saudi Arabia, which will serve the newly opened AMAALA gigaproject.
Located in northwest Saudi Arabia, the AlWajh International Airport is once again receiving flights, with three weekly connections from Riyadh (RUH) and two from Jeddah (JED) operated by Saudia, and international flights are expected to commence soon.
The updated airport can accommodate most commercial aircraft, including the Airbus A320 and Boeing B737 families, as well as seaplanes, opening opportunities for increased air traffic and new routes. It can also handle up to 500,000 passengers annually, up from 100,000 previously, with a peak capacity of 330 arriving and departing passengers per hour across four gates.
As we said, the airport will serve as a key gateway to AMAALA, the luxury wellness destination set to welcome its first guests in the coming months, located just 45 minutes away by electric vehicle and 20 minutes by seaplane.
The design of the renovated airport draws inspiration from the local architecture of the historic town of AlWajh and the wider Tabuk coastline, creating a landmark that reflects and celebrates the region’s authentic character.
The upgrade also includes two premium lounges, coffee shops, a mini-market, an automated banking service, car rental services, and parking facilities. The terminal now has the capability for handling seaplane and helicopter operations as part of the AMAALA transportation experience.

Upon full completion, AMAALA will boast approximately 4,000 hotel rooms across 30 hotels and approximately 1,200 luxury residential villas, apartments, and estate homes.
