  • With regular flights to more than 90 countries from its global hub at Doha’s Hamad International Airport, Qatar Airways’ AlUla service connects northwest Arabia with potential visitors from every continent

ALULA: AlUla is gearing up for a busy winter season, with an expanded network of international flights providing easier access to the oasis in northwest Arabia through services to major regional destinations and links via global hubs.

From Oct. 26 to March 28, AlUla International Airport will welcome 27 flights per week, including three weekly connections via Doha operated by Qatar Airways, and the reintroduction of Royal Jordanian’s twice-weekly service between AlUla and Amman.

With regular flights to more than 90 countries from its global hub at Doha’s Hamad International Airport, Qatar Airways’ AlUla service connects northwest Arabia with potential visitors from every continent.

The AlUla-Amman connection helps to strengthen cultural ties between Jordan’s Petra and AlUla’s Hegra, which is Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The seasonal increase in flights ensures that visitors from across the region and beyond can easily reach AlUla’s natural landscapes, luxury hospitality, rich heritage, and diverse events and experiences during the cooler months — one of the best times to explore the unique destination.
