7King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
The main gateway for pilgrims traveling to Mecca, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah suffers from extreme overcrowding, especially during the Hajj pilgrimage season.
The airport’s facilities are ill-equipped to handle the large number of travelers, leading to long delays, chaotic security and immigration checks, and insufficient seating. The terminals are often dirty, and basic amenities like restrooms and food services are frequently inadequate. Despite renovations, the airport struggles to cope with peak travel times, making it a frustrating experience for passengers.
