Anyone entering the Kingdom after the ban comes into effect on Sunday, July 4, at 11 p.m. will need to quarantine.

Saudia is asking travelers to stay updated on their flight status, new announcements, and other changes via the airline’s official channel.

Saudis were given permission to travel to certain countries outside the Kingdom from May 17, as long as they were vaccinated against COVID-19 or recovered after catching the virus.

Those who have received only the first dose of a vaccine are required to wait 14 days before traveling. Those who have recovered from an infection must wait six months after testing negative before flying.
