History
The Hajj Terminal with its tent roof opened in 1981 (two halls of 105 fabric tents each); Terminal 1 (2019) connects directly to the Haramain High Speed Railway. Terminal 4 — the rebuilt South Terminal of 1981 — opened in phases from 27 September 2026, and since 17 October 2026 the North Terminal has had no flights. Makkah is about 1 hour by road or 35–45 minutes by train.
What to do there
- From Terminal 1 follow the signs to the Haramain train; from Terminal 4 or the Hajj & Umrah terminals take the airport shuttle or a taxi to Terminal 1 for the train.
- Check your terminal with the airline: in October 2026 many foreign airlines moved to Terminal 4.
