The route

Abu Dhabi → Medina.

A private jet from Abu Dhabi to Medina (Al Madinah Al Munawwarah) provides the most private, dignified, and spiritually focused way to make one of Islam's most sacred journeys, arriving directly at the city of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) without the fatigue of commercial travel. For Hajj, Umrah, Ziyarah visits, and private pilgrimage, the combination of total discretion, preferred scheduling, and immediate onward access to the Prophet's Mosque (Al-Masjid al-Nabawi) makes private aviation the natural choice. At approximately 900 km, this is a short sector under 3 hours served by any jet in our fleet. Our advisors manage all Saudi GACA PPR requirements 24/7.

In Medina, the gateway is Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED / OEMA), also known as Madinah Airport, located approximately 15 km north-west of Al Masjid Al Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque) in the Al Haram area of Medina. Operated by Saudi GACA, the airport has been significantly upgraded to handle pilgrimage traffic and features a new international terminal opened in 2015.
