Flydubai adds route to Saudi Arabia

12 January 2011: Taif has been named as Flydubai's seventh destination in Saudi Arabia. Taif marks the seventh destination in KSA and is part of our strategy to connect the UAE to destinations previously under-served by direct air links. Situated 1,700m above sea level in the Hejaz province, Taif is gaining prominence around the region as an alternative short-holiday destination. Located less than 100 km by road from Makkah, Taif is also an alternative gateway for travellers to the holy city. With the launch of operations to Taif, Flydubai will operate a total of 55 weekly flights to destinations across the Kingdom.
