Emirates has officially opened its first dedicated lounge in the region at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This new lounge will cater to customers flying on its triple daily A380 services, offering a luxurious and comfortable experience for travelers. The AED 20 million (USD 5.4 million) investment in the 900-square-metre lounge, located in Terminal 1, demonstrates Emirates’ commitment to expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia and supporting the aviation goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

The lounge is designed to accommodate over 190 guests at a time, providing a variety of seating options for First and Business class passengers, as well as Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members. It reflects Emirates' dedication to offering a premium experience on the ground, complementing its renowned in-flight services. 

The opening ceremony was attended by notable figures including His Excellency Nasser Huwaiden Al Ketbi, Consul General of UAE in Jeddah, His Excellency Engr. Raed bin Ibrahim Al-Mudaiheem, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Jeddah Airports Company (JEDCO), Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services at Emirates, Eng.

Emirates has been facilitating tourism and trade in Saudi Arabia since 1989, serving four gateways – Riyadh, Jeddah, Medina, and Dammam – with over 70 weekly flights, including the flagship Airbus A380s. Over the years, Emirates has transported nearly 30.7 million passengers to and from Saudi Arabia, connecting them to destinations worldwide, including Dubai, London, Istanbul, Paris, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, the United States, and Indian Ocean islands such as the Maldives, Mauritius, and Seychelles.
