Jouf Airport

Jouf Airport opened in the 1980s and operates from a single small terminal, serving as the main air gateway to the Al-Jawf region around Sakaka. Modest in size but regionally important, the airport handles mostly domestic connections, linking northern Saudi Arabia with Riyadh and other major cities. Ground access is straightforward — a short drive from Sakaka with taxis, car hire and limited shuttle services — making it convenient for travelers exploring nearby archaeological sites and desert landscapes. Generally considered affordable compared with larger Saudi hubs, Jouf is regularly served by Saudia and low-cost carriers such as flynas, though it is not a major airline hub.
