AlUla International Airport: Everything We Know About The New Terminal
If you needed one more reason to finally visit the magical AlUla, consider the fact that it will soon be more accessible than ever. The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) recently announced plans for a second International Airport Terminal that would allow for 15 times more people to visit the world’s largest museum per annum. The plans also reveal a new hotel and spa to support this expansion.
In March 2021, Terminal One became an international airport, only allowing domestic arrivals prior to this change. The Terminal currently accommodates 400,000 annual visitors; however, the new expansion will enable the site to host 6 million visitors each year—a significant development.
