Emirates brings signature dedicated lounge to Jeddah “to deliver an industry-leading experience”


Emirates has opened its first-ever lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The lounge is designed “to deliver an industry-leading experience and signature hospitality”.

Emirates has opened its first-ever lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The AED 20 million (US$5.4 million), 900sqm lounge is located in the airport’s newest Terminal 1 and caters to the airline’s First and Business Class passengers, as well as Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members, with the capacity to accommodate over 190 guests at any one time, in a variety of seating options.

“Jeddah was our first gateway into the Kingdom 35 years ago, so it’s fitting that the King Abdulaziz International Airport, a world-class facility is the first airport in the region outside of Dubai to feature an Emirates dedicated lounge,” said Mohammed Mattar, Divisional Senior Vice President Airport Services, Emirates. “The lounge, comfortably situated at the centre of Terminal 1, is beautifully designed to deliver an industry-leading experience and Emirates’ signature hospitality for our customers from the moment they step inside. We thank the airport authorities for their support in helping us open our doors to officially welcome customers and provide them with a memorable travel experience on the ground.”

The investment reflects the airline’s commitment to progressively growing its presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, supporting the aviation goals of Saudi Vision 2030, and its ongoing dedication to ensuring a thoughtful and welcoming Emirates experience on the ground.

The new lounge features a refreshed and sophisticated design, anchored in contemporary elements with regional design influences. The welcoming space offers a variety of seating configurations, including dining, lounging, and quiet spaces for relaxation. Inside the lounge, customers can look forward to a wide range of dining options, luxurious shower facilities, a prayer room, and other amenities.

“The launch of Emirates lounge at King Abdulaziz International Airport reflects the 35-year-long strategic relationship of providing multiple travel options to passengers through the airline’s three daily flights,” said Eng. Mazen Johar, CEO, JEDCO. “The lounge is a significant addition to the airport’s services and supports the comprehensive development efforts at the airport, aimed at providing an enjoyable and seamless travel experience for passengers from all over the world.”
