If you have ground time buy something from Kudu (try their cheese nachos and beef Philly sandwich) Saadeddin (try Rocher and Blueberry Cheesecake) & Fresh Berry (for frozen yoghourt w/ toppings). ☺️

TimmiJuly 30, 2018For now it’s the best airport in the Kingdom and with its most recent Terminal 5, it is proven so. Immigration process has improved a lot. I was amazed to see these people work so efficiently.

Clean place! Chilled little airport, a few Loud shirts about. U can stay in some coffee shops and food chain while waiting.. Better to buy things outside than Duty Free it is more expensive..

James KanterJuly 15, 2017The terminal building is gorgeous. The space and finishes are beautiful even though the airport was built several years ago. Staff was courteous. Wish they had free wifi.

HishMajMarch 21, 2013Get the Free-WiFi access code, even if you don't have a Saudi Mobile number. Just put in your international number with the appropriate international code. Plenty of plug points near the cafes.Upvote921DownvoteUpvoted 5 days ago

The Limo rentals prices has increased significantly by the airport authority. Better park your car here or ask someone for a pick up.I am glad that I left my car parked I feel bad for those who didn'tUpvote91DownvoteUpvoted Dec 13, 2024

"Hidden Gem: Java cafe in the car rental area is the best in quality prices, and they have a great quiet setting area."
Mohammed Khalil
"Throngs of laborers on economy. If you're Business Class or First Class pay a porter to push you through. Be generous! It's a thankless job, and the mob is nothing less than intimidating!"
Skip Conover
"Smol airport for private flights, only 1 dunkin donuts coffee shop inside, no need to go early, no seats to sit for waiting,"
