| Transfer between terminals: | There is no transport provided. Passengers are required to pay
for a taxi. |
| Transfer to the City: | Taxis are available. Most visitors opt for the limousine taxi
service, fares for which can be negotiated with the driver. There
is a bus service connecting to the city but this tends to be
crowded and unpleasant and is usually avoided by visitors.
Construction will begin soon on a new high-speed rail link to
connect the airport to the city. |
| Car rental: | Several major car rental companies are represented at the
airport, including Avis, Budget and Thrifty. |
| Facilities: | Although it has been extended and renovated several times,
Jeddah's airport remains crowded and chaotic. There are four
terminals, with the North Terminal being used exclusively for
international flights. There are money exchange facilities, a
restaurant and shops in this terminal. The vast Hajj terminals
contain prayer and rest areas, markets, cooking facilities for
pilgrims, a clinic, bank, and a mosque. |
| Departure tax: | SR50. |
