Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Explore Jeddah: The Gateway to the Holy Sanctuaries

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's historic Red Sea port, is the primary arrival city for millions of Umrah pilgrims from Pakistan. Beyond its sacred role as the gateway to Makkah Al-Mukarramah, Jeddah is a stunning coastal city boasting 1,400-year-old coral-stone architecture, scenic corniche promenades, and world-class seafood.

Land at King Abdulaziz International Airport, board the bullet train to Makkah in 35 minutes, explore UNESCO-listed Al-Balad, and gaze at King Fahd's Fountain — the tallest water fountain in the world.

Essential Advice for Umrah Passengers

If flying from Lahore directly to Jeddah with the intention of Umrah, put on your Ihram at home or at Allama Iqbal Airport and make your Niyyah before your flight crosses the Miqat (approximately 30 minutes before landing in Jeddah).
