Saudia Launches Direct Flights to Egypt's Al Alamein & Oman's Salalah
Six weekly flights to Al Alamein and three to Salalah are now operating, adding new direct connections between Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Oman this summer.
Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has officially launched direct routes to two new destinations: Al Alamein on Egypt’s northern coast, and Salalah in southern Oman.
The Al Alamein service—marking Saudia’s fourth destination in Egypt—now runs six weekly flights: three from Jeddah, departing at 5:25AM and arriving at 8:15AM, and three from Riyadh, departing at 5:15AM and landing by 7:45AM. Return flights from Al Alamein head back to Jeddah at 9:15AM and to Riyadh at 8:45AM. Known for its Mediterranean coastline and proximity to WWII heritage sites, Al Alamein offers a quieter slice of Egypt.
Meanwhile, Saudia’s new Jeddah–Salalah route brings travellers closer to the lush, mist-draped hills of southern Oman during khareef (monsoon) season. The thrice-weekly flight departs Jeddah at 3:40PM, touching down in Salalah by 7:00PM, while the return flights leave Salalah at 8:00PM, with passengers back in Jeddah by 9:35PM.
Both routes are now live, with tickets available through Saudia’s booking platforms.
