Daily flights to Riyadh and Jeddah for business, culture and adventure.
Once known mainly for religious tourism and business travel, Saudi Arabia is now welcoming a broader range of visitors. With new tourist visas, improved infrastructure, and major investment in hospitality, it’s quickly becoming one of the most dynamic travel destinations in the region.
It’s a country full of contrasts:
While Saudi Arabia continues to grow and modernise, its traditions remain front and centre – especially in its cuisine, coffee rituals, and heartfelt hospitality.
If you're flying from Heathrow to Riyadh, expect a fast-paced city that blends global commerce with ancient heritage. It’s the capital of Saudi Arabia, and a growing destination for both corporate travellers and culture seekers.
Best for: business travel, city breaks, desert experiences
With plenty of luxury hotels, coworking lounges and excellent restaurants, Riyadh is built for business travellers. Got a free evening? Extend your stay by a day or two to experience more than just the meeting room – desert tours, rooftop dining and local art galleries await.
Heathrow to Jeddah flights take you to a relaxed coastal city, full of character and just a short journey from the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Best for: religious travel, snorkelling and diving, heritage exploration
Pressed for time? Grab a coffee or catch the sunset along the Corniche. If you can spare an extra night, explore the old town, tuck into fresh seafood by the Red Sea, or relax with a spa session back at your hotel.
