King Saud Bin Abdulaziz (Al Baha) Airport
King Saud Bin Abdulaziz Airport, commonly known as Al Baha Airport, counts a single runway at 5,486 feet above sea level, just over a mile up, serving the mountainous Al Baha region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. Few Saudi airports sit this high, a result of the elevated terrain running through this part of the country. Al Baha is one of Saudi Arabia's smaller regions by population, known for a cooler climate than the surrounding desert lowlands because of its altitude. Domestic routes connecting Al Baha to Jeddah, Riyadh, and other larger Saudi cities dominate the schedule at this medium-scale field.
