Most pilgrims arriving in Saudi Arabia for Umrah will fly into Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) which is the closest airport to Mecca. However, many of those planning a DIY Umrah choose to visit Medina as well, in which case it often makes sense to fly into Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport, Medina (MED). It is then quick and easy to take the new Al Haramain express train from Medina to Mecca. Alternatively, you can do Umrah first and then travel to Medina afterwards to visit Masjid an Nabawi and the tomb of the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him).
