Hi everyone, we will be coming to KSA likely in August or Sept. Our daughter may be in a Dubai boarding school.


I have a few questions if you can

advise please


  1. How easy is it to fly Dammam to Dubai on a Thurs and then return on Sat night?
  2. Any recommendations for airlines? I see Wizz air is v cheap is that for a reason?
  3. Can you get a GCC CARD to make travel easier


Thank you

Welcome , yes it's so easy to travel from Dammam to Dubai anytime , after all what I have been through Fly Nas is the cheapest airline.

For 1 & 2, it is an hour's flight. So relatively short and doable.


For 3, what is a GCC card?  there is no such thing.  You will need a visa to go to Dubai. Depending on your nationality, you may get a visa there on arrival. Alternatively, you may want to get a residence visa in UAE if you can.

@tampaxon Hello, I don’t think Wizz Air can have direct flights from Dammam to Dubai. Though, there are frequent flights on Flydubai, flynas (those would be the cheapest, usually flydubai) and then there Saudia and emirates ( much more expensive).


2- You’ll need a visa and depending on your nationality, you can get an online visa for GCC residents or get the visa at the airport. Regards.
