Timing Your Madinah Transfer

Arriving Into MED

For international arrivals, allow approximately 45 to 60 minutes from landing to clear immigration, collect your baggage and pass through customs. During the Hajj and Umrah seasons, when the airport processes a significantly higher volume of passengers, this can extend considerably. Your Airport Executive driver waits from the moment your flight lands, so you will be met regardless of how long the process takes.

For domestic arrivals, no immigration procedure applies. Allow around 20 minutes to collect luggage and exit the terminal.

‍

Departing From MED

For international departures, we recommend arriving at Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport at least three hours before your scheduled departure time. During peak pilgrimage periods, allow three and a half to four hours to accommodate higher passenger volumes at check-in and security.

For domestic departures, two hours before your scheduled departure is generally sufficient.

Top Attractions Near Madinah Airport

Al Masjid an Nabawi (The Prophet's Mosque)
The Prophet's Mosque is the second holiest site in Islam and the focal point of every visit to Madinah. Founded by the Prophet Muhammad in 622 CE, it has been expanded many times and can today accommodate over one million worshippers. The mosque houses the Green Dome, beneath which lies the tomb of the Prophet, and the sacred area known as the Rawdah, considered one of the gardens of Paradise. It is approximately 12 miles from the airport.

​

Quba Mosque
Recognised as the first mosque ever built in Islam, Quba Mosque holds exceptional religious significance and is a central stop on any visit to Madinah. It stands approximately three kilometres south of the Prophet's Mosque, and tradition holds that performing two units of prayer here carries the reward of a complete Umrah. The current structure is a striking modern building on an ancient site.

Located immediately to the east of the Prophet's Mosque, Al-Baqi is one of the most sacred cemeteries in Islam. Many of the Prophet's companions, family members and early Muslims are buried here, and it remains a place of quiet reflection for millions of visitors each year.

Al-Hijaz Railway Museum
Housed in Madinah's original Ottoman-era railway station, the Al-Hijaz Railway Museum tells the story of the historic Hejaz Railway that once connected Madinah to Damascus.
