Search flights from JED to MED
Hejaz Mountains
Rugged peaks and deep wadis of the ancient mountain range that runs parallel to the coast.
Harrat Rahat
Breathtaking expanse of black volcanic lava fields and distinct craters visible during the descent.
Mount Uhud
The historic red-granite mountain located north of the city center, often visible on the final approach.
This side is best for late afternoon flights when the shadows emphasize the volcanic topography. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture the rare sight of the black basalt lava flows meeting the desert sands.
