As our destination expands its offerings to international tourists, we are delighted to be included as a key addition to Gulf Air\u2019s seasonal destinations for 2024 and look forward to showcasing the beauty and allure of this ancient destination to more travelers from around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city\u2019s dedication to enhancing its international accessibility is evident in the planned expansion of AlUla International Airport, with aims to raise the annual passenger threshold from 400,000 to six million. This expansion is set to offer more than just increased capacity, delivering a luxury, immersive experience with state-of-the-art facilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The enhancement of flight operations and airport infrastructure is aligned with AlUla\u2019s ongoing goal to welcome two million visitors annually by 2035, while avoiding over-tourism. This exemplifies a dynamic, ongoing light-touch tourism strategy that ensures the destination\u2019s viability for the future, without compromising on the quality of the visitor experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, Saudia airlines has expanded AlUla&#8217;s connectivity to Europe through flights from Paris, with the return of its Paris\u2019 seasonal flight which took off on 28<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;January 2024. Royal Jordanian is poised to contribute to this accessibility with the launch of direct flights from Amman to AlUla, scheduled to start from 16<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;February 2024.
