JEDDAH



MASJID MOSQUE 🕌🇮🇩



TRANSPORTATION

Excellent choice — combination (bus + taxi/Uber where it saves time) is perfect for your itinerary and budget!
Here’s an optimized plan:

🚗🚌 Combination Itinerary

Airport → Al‑Balad 🚌 Bus ~SAR 3.5 ~1 hr Save money here, plenty of buses available
Explore Al‑Balad Walk — 2 hrs On foot
Al‑Balad → Floating Mosque 🚕 Taxi/Uber ~SAR 50 ~20 min Saves 1 hr compared to bus
Visit Floating Mosque Walk — ~45 min On foot
Floating Mosque → King Fahd’s Fountain 🚕 Taxi/Uber ~SAR 30 ~15–20 min Efficient; buses are indirect here

Example:

| Start at Airport | ~9:00 AM |
| Finish back at Airport | ~5:00 PM |
| Total | ~8 hours day trip |

Summary:

✅ Minimum: 7 hours if moving fast
✅ Ideal: ~8 hours to enjoy everything comfortably

If you tell me your arrival & departure time, I can give an exact recommended start time + detailed schedule so your day flows perfectly! Want me to? 🚍📋✨


KALAU SAMPAI JAM ⏰3 SORE

Bagus banget kamu kasih detail waktunya! Jadi begini ya:

🛬 Pesawat sampai jam 15:00 (3 sore) di Jeddah, tanggal 13 September, dan kamu harus ambil bagasi dulu → ini realistis akan makan waktu sekitar 1–1.5 jam (imigrasi, bagasi, keluar terminal).

Jadi kemungkinan kamu baru bisa keluar bandara kira-kira jam 16:00–16:30.

Sekarang pertimbangan waktunya:

👉 Al‑Balad → OK sampai malam (~10 malam masih ramai, banyak yang buka)
👉 Floating Mosque → Cantik saat sunset atau malam
👉 King Fahd’s Fountain → Paling bagus setelah gelap, air mancur akan menyala (mulai sekitar jam Maghrib / sunset ~18:15–18:30)
👉 Airport Aquarium → ini di dalam airport → bisa dikunjungi sebelum pulang/keberangkatan bukan saat awal trip

Dengan kondisi kamu sampai jam 3 sore, idealnya begini:

16:30–17:00 → keluar bandara → langsung taxi ke Al‑Balad (~30 menit)
17:00–18:30 → explore Al‑Balad (sore menjelang malam, suasananya bagus)
18:30–19:00 → taxi ke Floating Mosque → sunset + malam sangat cantik
19:00–19:45 → menikmati Floating Mosque
19:45–20:00 → taxi ke King Fahd’s Fountain (dekat Corniche)
20:00–21:00 → lihat King Fahd’s Fountain + jalan-jalan di Corniche
21:00–21:30/22:00 → kembali ke hotel / airport tergantung jadwal kamu

Total yang bisa dilakukan:

✅ Al‑Balad → YES
✅ Floating Mosque → YES
✅ King Fahd’s Fountain → YES
✅ Airport Aquarium → Lebih cocok besok paginya sebelum flight pulang, atau saat mau check-in kalau flight malam. Aquarium buka sampai malam tapi masuknya dari dalam terminal.

Waktu total trip sore-malam ini:

~5–6 jam dari jam 16:30 → sampai jam 21:30–22:00. Masih sangat doable!

Kesimpulan:

  • Tidak usah takut datang sore — justru bagus banget karena 3 tempat itu cantik kalau sore ke malam.

  • Aquarium bisa dijadwalkan sebelum pulang, bukan digabung trip sore.

Kalau kamu kasih tahu:

  • Apakah kamu langsung mau jalan sore itu atau ke hotel dulu?

  • Flight pulang kamu tanggal berapa jam berapa?

Aku bisa buatin jadwal yang pas banget biar kamu nyaman + bisa maksimal menikmati. Mau aku buatkan? ✨🗺️✨


Yes, you can check your Saudia Airlines booking on their official website, even if you booked the ticket through Agoda or another third-party site.

✅ How to Check Your Saudia Booking (Booked via Agoda):

  1. Go to: https://www.saudia.com

  2. Click “Manage Booking” or “My Trips.”

  3. Enter:

    • Your booking reference (PNR) – usually a 6-character alphanumeric code (you’ll find this in your Agoda confirmation).

    • Your last name (exactly as in the booking).

  4. You should then see your flight details, seat assignments, and options to manage extras (like meals, baggage, or stopover visa for Jeddah).

💡 Tips:

  • The PNR from Agoda might be different from Saudia’s internal reference. Agoda usually lists both “booking ID” and “airline reference” — use the airline reference (aka PNR).

  • If you don’t see your booking, try using Saudia’s mobile app or contact their customer service with your e-ticket number.

Let me know if you'd like help locating your PNR from a sample Agoda email.

Yes, it's entirely possible to book a round-trip flight from Jakarta (CGK) to Amsterdam (AMS) with a 2-day stopover in Jeddah (JED) on your return journey. Here's how you can plan and book such an itinerary:

✈️ Booking a Multi-City Itinerary with a Stopover in Jeddah

To include a 2-day stopover in Jeddah on your return from Amsterdam to Jakarta, you'll need to book a multi-city flight itinerary. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Use the Multi-City Search Option: When booking your flights, select the "Multi-City" option instead of a standard round-trip. This allows you to customize each leg of your journey.

  2. Input Your Flight Segments:

    • First Leg: Jakarta (CGK) → Amsterdam (AMS)

    • Second Leg: Amsterdam (AMS) → Jeddah (JED)

    • Third Leg: Jeddah (JED) → Jakarta (CGK)

    Ensure that the dates you select allow for a 2-day stay in Jeddah between your arrival from Amsterdam and departure to Jakarta.

  3. Choose an Airline: Airlines like Saudia (Saudi Airlines) and Flynas offer multi-city booking options. For instance, Saudia allows passengers to purchase multi-city flight tickets covering multiple destinations in one trip .

  4. Book Through Official Channels or Reputable Travel Agencies: It's advisable to book directly through the airline's official website or through reputable travel agencies that offer multi-city booking functionalities.

🛂 Obtaining a Stopover Visa for Saudi Arabia

For your 2-day stay in Jeddah, you'll need a stopover visa. Here's how to obtain one:

  1. Eligibility: Saudi Arabia offers a free stopover visa for travelers flying with Saudia or Flynas. This visa allows a stay of up to 96 hours (4 days) and includes a complimentary hotel night for Saudia passengers .

  2. Application Process:

    • During Booking: The stopover visa can be applied for during the flight booking process on the airline's website.

    • After Booking: If you didn't apply during booking, you can still obtain the visa by managing your booking on the airline's website. For Saudia, log in to your account, go to "Manage Bookings," select "Seat and Extras," and you'll find the option to apply for a stopover visa .

  3. Requirements: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of entry. You'll also need a digital passport-sized photo (usually 200x200 pixels and under 20KB in size).

💡 Tips for a Smooth Experience

  • Plan Ahead: Flight availability and visa processing can take time. It's advisable to plan and book your flights well in advance.

  • Check Visa Requirements: While the stopover visa is available for many nationalities, always verify the latest visa requirements based on your nationality.

  • Stay Informed: Airline policies and visa regulations can change. Regularly check the official websites of the airline and the Saudi Arabian government for the most up-to-date information.

By following these steps, you can enjoy a 2-day stopover in Jeddah on your return trip from Amsterdam to Jakarta. Safe travels!

AQUARIUM

To visit the aquarium at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) during your transit, here’s what you need to know and your options:

✅ Where is the Aquarium?

  • It is located in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal 1.

  • It's before immigration, visible from the public area for arriving passengers after they clear customs.

🚫 Transit Passenger Limitation

As a transit passenger, especially on an international-to-international connection, you:

  • Do not pass through immigration

  • Remain in the sterile transit zone

  • Cannot access the public Arrivals Hall, where the aquarium is located, unless you go landside.

✅ Options to See the Aquarium During Transit

1. Long Transit + Saudi Transit Visa

If your layover is long (8+ hours) and you're eligible:

  • Apply for a Saudi e-Transit Visa (valid up to 96 hours).

  • Go through immigration and customs.

  • Once landsided, walk to the Arrivals Hall area to see the aquarium.

  • You can even explore the city of Jeddah if time allows.

Apply here: Saudi Transit Visa Portal

✳️ Note: Many nationalities are eligible, and Saudia can help process it if your ticket includes a long layover.

2. Book Separate Tickets With Entry

If you book a multi-city ticket where your flight ends in Jeddah and you fly out later, you’ll go through immigration and can easily visit the aquarium before checking in for your next flight.

3. Ask Airport Staff

If your layover is shorter but you really want to see the aquarium, ask at the transit help desk. In some cases, under supervision or during light traffic, staff may allow escorted access to public areas — but this is rare and not guaranteed.

🔍 Summary

Option Can You See the Aquarium? Notes
Regular transit ❌ No access to arrivals hall
With transit visa ✅ Best and most reliable option
Stopover (not transit) ✅ If you exit and recheck, yes
Ask staff ⚠️ Unlikely but possible with help

==

Great question — and you're not alone! The price difference you're seeing is because of how airlines structure fares. Here's a clear breakdown:

✈️ Why CGK → AMS (via JED) is Cheaper Than CGK → JED + JED → AMS Separately

🧮 1. Airlines Prefer You to Book Roundtrip / One Itinerary

When you book CGK → AMS as one trip (even with transit in JED), it's treated as an international through-fare — and airlines offer discounted prices for long-haul routes like this.

But when you split the ticket:

  • CGK → JED becomes a regional/middle-haul ticket.

  • JED → AMS becomes a separate international route.
    💸 Result: Airlines don’t apply the same discounts.

💼 2. Tax & Airport Fees Are Counted Twice in Separate Bookings

  • When you buy two separate tickets, you’re paying two sets of taxes, fuel surcharges, and airport fees.

  • On a single itinerary, those fees are optimized into one package.

🎯 3. Stopover vs Transit Pricing Strategy

  • Airlines often subsidize transits to make long routes more competitive.

  • But stopovers (long layovers) are considered a "benefit" and sometimes cost more.

So:

  • 3-hour transit in JED = cheaper.

  • 2-day stopover in JED = higher price.

📦 4. Through Tickets Are Safer for Connection & Luggage

  • Airlines are responsible for your luggage and delays if it’s on a single ticket.

  • Two separate tickets = you carry the risk if one leg is delayed or canceled.

💡 Want a Smart Way to Get 1–2 Days in Jeddah Without Extra Cost?

Try this trick:

  • Search for CGK → AMS with multi-day layover in JED using the “multi-city” feature — but keep it as one ticket, same airline (e.g., Saudia).

  • This gives you a stopover without the full extra cost of two tickets.

Would you like me to try and find a sample itinerary like this (e.g., CGK → JED on Aug 1, JED → AMS on Aug 3)? I can help optimize it for best price + free visa transit.

Yes, visiting Jeddah for 1–2 days is possible, and it's a great way to experience a unique blend of history, culture, and the Red Sea. Here's what you need to know:

✅ 1. Can you visit Jeddah for 1–2 days?

Yes, you can — with a visa.

  • Transit visa (96 hours / 4 days): Saudi Arabia now offers a free stopover visa if you're flying with Saudia or Flynas. You must apply during the ticket booking process, not at the airport.

  • Tourist visa (eVisa): If you're from one of 60+ eligible countries (US, EU, Australia, parts of Asia), you can apply online. Valid for short stays.

  • Visa on arrival: Also possible for some nationalities (e.g., US, UK, Schengen visa holders), but check eligibility first.

🛻 2. Transportation in Jeddah

Is it cheap and easy? Here's the breakdown:

🚕 Taxis:

  • Available 24/7 at the airport and around the city.

  • Use Uber or Careem (like Grab/Gojek).

  • Prices: Reasonable — e.g., airport to city center ~$10–$15 USD.

🚌 Buses:

  • Public buses exist (by SAPTCO), but they’re not tourist-friendly.

  • Routes and stops are not clearly marked in English.

🚗 Renting a car:

  • Easy at the airport if you have an international driving permit.

  • But driving in Saudi can be hectic for first-timers.

✔️ Easiest for short visits: Use Uber or Careem.

🏙️ What you can see in 1–2 days in Jeddah:

  • Al-Balad (Old Town): UNESCO World Heritage Site, beautiful for walking and photos.

  • Jeddah Corniche: Modern waterfront with restaurants, sculptures, and Red Sea views.

  • Fakieh Aquarium: Great if you're into marine life.

  • Floating Mosque: A serene, beautiful spot on the coast.

💡Tips:

  • Dress modestly (long sleeves, pants/skirt).

  • Friday mornings are very quiet until the afternoon.

  • Women can travel alone, but be aware of cultural norms.

CARA TRANSIT 1-2 HARI

Bagus kamu perhatikan hal ini! Memang kalau kamu cari tiket secara default, maskapai hanya kasih opsi transit singkat 2–3 jam. Tapi kamu bisa mengakali sistem untuk dapat transit 1–2 hari (24–48 jam) di Jeddah dengan cara khusus.

Berikut langkahnya supaya bisa transit 1–2 hari di Jeddah:

✈️ Cara Mendapatkan Transit 1–2 Hari di Jeddah:

✅ 1. Cari Tiket Multi-City / Stopover di Situs Resmi Maskapai

🔍 Contoh pengisian Multi-City:

  • Penerbangan 1: Jakarta (CGK) → Jeddah (JED)
    Tanggal: Misalnya 1 Agustus

  • Penerbangan 2: Jeddah (JED) → Amsterdam (AMS)
    Tanggal: Misalnya 3 Agustus

Ini akan memberi kamu 2 hari di Jeddah sebelum lanjut ke Belanda.

✅ 2. Pastikan Penerbangan Kamu Diterbitkan oleh Saudia / Flynas

  • Karena hanya 2 maskapai ini yang otomatis memberikan visa transit gratis.

  • Saat kamu pilih jadwal stopover selama 1–2 hari, sistem akan otomatis menawarkan visa transit gratis saat check-out.

✅ 3. Lanjutkan Pemesanan dan Ajukan Visa Transit Otomatis

  • Di halaman pemesanan, kamu akan lihat opsi untuk visa transit. Pilih “Yes”.

  • Isi data (paspor, email, dll).

  • Setelah bayar tiket, kamu akan dikirimkan:

    • E-ticket penerbangan

    • E-visa transit Arab Saudi (berlaku maksimal 96 jam)

📱 Alternatif Cara Manual (Kalau di Website Tidak Muncul Stopover)

Kalau kamu tidak melihat opsi stopover di situs maskapai, kamu bisa:

  • Beli tiket Jakarta–Jeddah (one-way) dan Jeddah–Belanda (one-way) dengan jarak 2 hari.

  • Pastikan tetap menggunakan maskapai yang sama (Saudia/Flynas) agar visa transit bisa otomatis diproses.

🏨 Tips Tambahan:

  • Pesan hotel di Jeddah via Booking.com/Agoda.

  • Kamu bisa jalan-jalan ke:

    • Al-Balad (kota tua Jeddah)

    • Masjid terapung

    • Laut Merah

  • Kalau Muslim, kamu juga bisa ke Mekkah (1 jam dari Jeddah).

Kalau kamu mau, aku bisa bantu:

  • Cari opsi tiket real-time dengan stopover 1–2 hari.

  • Buat itinerary singkat 2 hari di Jeddah.

96 JAM 

Jika Anda transit di Jeddah selama 3 jam dan tidak berencana keluar dari area transit internasional bandara, maka Anda tidak memerlukan visa transit. Penumpang yang hanya singgah tanpa meninggalkan zona imigrasi bandara tidak diwajibkan memiliki visa transit Arab Saudi. (Traveloka)

Namun, jika Anda berniat untuk keluar dari bandara selama transit, misalnya untuk berwisata atau melaksanakan ibadah umrah, maka Anda perlu mengajukan visa transit Arab Saudi. Berikut informasi penting terkait visa transit tersebut:

  • Durasi Tinggal: Visa transit memungkinkan Anda tinggal di Arab Saudi hingga 96 jam (4 hari). (Traveloka)

  • Biaya: Visa transit ini diberikan secara gratis saat Anda memesan tiket penerbangan dengan maskapai Saudi Arabia Airlines (Saudia) atau Flynas. (KOMPAS.com)

  • Proses Pengajuan: Visa transit diterbitkan bersamaan dengan tiket penerbangan melalui program "Your Ticket Your Visa". Prosesnya hanya memerlukan waktu sekitar tiga menit dan dikirimkan melalui email bersama dengan tiket penerbangan Anda. (KOMPAS.com)

  • Pembatasan: Visa transit tidak dapat digunakan untuk ibadah haji. Jika Anda berencana melaksanakan haji, Anda harus mengajukan visa haji khusus. (Traveloka, Visa for Saudi)

Jadi, untuk transit selama 3 jam di Jeddah tanpa keluar dari bandara, Anda tidak perlu mengurus visa transit. Namun, jika Anda ingin memanfaatkan waktu transit untuk keluar dari bandara, pastikan untuk mengajukan visa transit sesuai dengan ketentuan yang berlaku.
