Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Airport (TUU/OETB) is the main gateway to Tabuk and northwestern Saudi Arabia, located just a few kilometers from the city center.

The airport has a modern passenger terminal and serves as a key hub for the Tabuk region.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know that the airport's compact layout means you can clear security quickly, but food and coffee options after security are limited—grab something in the landside area before proceeding to departures.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing apps (Careem, Uber) are readily available outside arrivals; agree on a fare or use the app before departing. The airport is only a short drive from central Tabuk, so transfers are quick and inexpensive. If you are heading to NEOM or the Red Sea coast, arrange a private transfer or rental car in advance, as public transport options are limited.
