Access
King Abdulaziz International is the country's largest airport: 53.5 million passengers in 2025, 38% of national traffic. Haramain links Jeddah, the airport, KAEC, Makkah and Al Madinah by high-speed rail — the only genuinely working passenger railway in the Kingdom. For sales this means Makkah, Jeddah and Taif trade as one logistics node, not three markets.
