Flying from Dhaka to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz
In short
Both airlines fly nonstop from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC) to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madina (MED): Biman Bangladesh Airlines and Saudia. The 5,112 km flight takes about 6 hours 45 minutes. It suits Umrah pilgrims who want to start at the Prophet's Mosque and travel on to Makkah afterwards.
Why start an Umrah in Madina
Pilgrims landing in Madina can fly in ordinary clothes and put on ihram later, at the miqat outside the city, when they set off for Makkah. The Haramain high-speed train runs from Madina to Makkah in about two hours, at up to 300 km/h, calling at King Abdullah Economic City and Jeddah. A branch serves King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, so a group can end the trip there by rail.
Biman's 30 kg or Saudia's 23 kg
Biman flies either a Boeing 777-300ER with 419 seats or a 787-8 with 271, and includes 30 kg of checked baggage. Saudia flies a Boeing 777-200 of about 300 seats and allows 23 kg. Both allow 7 kg in the cabin. That gap matters when a family or group is sharing luggage. Both airlines adjust departures around Ramadan and the main pilgrimage periods, so confirm the time a few days before travel.
Umrah visa and booking a Rawdah permit
You need a Saudi visa that covers Umrah, such as an Umrah or tourist visa, before you board; eligibility depends on nationality, so check the official Saudi visa platform. A visit to the Rawdah inside the Prophet's Mosque needs a timed permit booked through the Nusuk app, so set it up before the trip.
Madina's terminal and hotels near Masjid an-Nabawi
Madina's current terminal opened on 2 July 2015 and is run by TAV Airports. It was the first airport terminal in the Middle East and North Africa to earn LEED Gold. The hotels on this page are all in the Central Area around Masjid an-Nabawi, within walking distance of its gates, which helps older relatives in the heat. The Haramain station is on King Abdulaziz Street on the east side of the city, so allow for a taxi from the hotel. Saudi Arabia keeps UTC+3, three hours behind Dhaka.
