AlUla Airport Receives the First Direct Royal Jordanian Flight

A Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) flight coming from Amman, Jordan, landed at AlUla International Airport (AIA), the first flight on a new twice-weekly direct route RJ started to operate on February 16 from the Amman-based Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA).

The launch of the new flight route to AlUla reflects the interest shown in this governorate with a rich heritage and diverse nature, which hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year.

The new route also constitutes a historical bridge that extends to a great era when the two regions witnessed the prosperity of the ancient Nabataean civilization, which left its traces firmly rooted in both Petra, in Jordan, and Al-Hijr, in AlUla.

The new trips enable history and culture lovers to explore the historical connection between the two regions and the ancient civilization shared by both destinations.
