Oman Air has launched a new weekly service between Muscat, the capital of Oman, and Madinah, in Saudi Arabia. The new service will offer flights from Muscat to Madinah on Tuesdays (departing 1540, arriving 1750) and returning from Medina to Muscat on the same day (departing 1840, arriving 2235).
This new service builds on the recent launch of Oman Air’s Salalah to Jeddah service and marks the airline’s 43rd destination worldwide. Madinah is Oman Air’s fourth destination in Saudi Arabia, the other three being Jeddah, Riyadh and Dammam.
In addition to travelling to and from Madinah passengers using the new service will also be able to travel in one direction to/from Madinah and return from/to Jeddah in the other, which offers the perfect flexibility especially for passengers travelling on religious pilgrimage.
Madinah is a modern city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia, and serves as the capital of the Al Medina Province. The city is the second most important Islamic pilgrimage destination after Mecca and it was the first power base of Islam during the faith’s first century. Home to the three oldest mosques in Islam, it has a population of over 1.6 million.
