flydubai adds NEOM and 3 more Saudi destinations to its network
You can now fly direct…
Earlier this year, the Dubai-based carrier flyDubai resumed flights to AlUla with a twice-weekly service. Now, travellers can fly directly from Dubai to four other destinations in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: NEOM, Al Qaisumah, Jizan and Narjan.
The flydubai flights to NEOM will commence on Thursday, March 16, while flights to Najarn, Al Qaisumah and Jizan will commence on March 18, 21 and April 26 respectively.
The growing network is served by a fleet of 76 aircraft. The flights to NEOM and Al Qaisumah will happen twice per week, followed by Najarn fights taking place three times per week and Jizan four times per week. The flight from Dubai to NEOM will take approximately three and a half hours and will cost as little as Dhs1,605 return.
Flights will depart from Terminal 2 of Dubai International Airport. Travellers can now book their tickets here and view the full timetable here.
Flydubai operates flights to more than 114 destinations, 75 of which previously did not have direct air links to Dubai.

Described as a destination that will ‘redefine mountain tourism’, the new spot will be divided into six districts: Gateway, Discover, Valley, Explore, Relax and Fun, all of which will offer a diverse array of activities and experiences. A year-round ski village will offer Apres vibes in the Saudi mountains, complete with a wide range of restaurants and shops, while hotel highlights include ‘The Bow’ – an ultra-luxury architectural masterpiece; and the Vault, a vertical village within the mountains overlooking a stunning man-made freshwater lake. Confirmed hotels at the destination include a 25hours Hotel and a Chedi property. It’s due for completion in 2026.
