Since most of us are frequent flyers, we’ve all had our fair share of experiences with The Kingdom’s airports. In Saudi Arabia, airports can be categorized into 4 types: international, domestic, Aramco and Military. Most of us will only be using the first two, with the latter two being for specific persons with special access and permission to use them.
