Jeddah: Desert Marvel and Gateway to Mecca
Jeddah is a bustling multicultural hub and the main gateway for pilgrims en route to the sacred city of Mecca. Situated on the Red Sea coast, it hosts the nearest airport to Mecca, making it an essential stop for those embarking on Hajj or Umrah.
This city isn’t just a transit point — it’s the crown jewel of the Arabian world. As Saudi Arabia’s second-largest city and its “economic capital,” Jeddah boasts attractions that blend culture and leisure. The Corniche along the Red Sea is packed with top-notch hotels, stunning beaches, and high-end shopping centers. Don’t miss the iconic King Fahd Fountain, and dive into history at the UNESCO-listed Al-Balad district, where traditional coral stone buildings echo the past.
For pilgrims, the journey to Jeddah is a time for reflection, and the direct flights from Air Samarkand, departing from various Uzbek cities, provide a seamless, comfortable experience. Just a five-hour flight, and about two hours more to reach Mecca’s sacred grounds.
We take pride in offering our passengers a journey that’s both enriching and safe, providing new opportunities for travel and spiritual growth with the utmost comfort.
