Book your private jet flight to Riyadh
Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, is at the heart of an unprecedented transformation under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s Vision 2030. New towers in the King Abdullah Financial District, the opening of international tourism, concerts, museums and entertainment — Riyadh is opening up to the world. Flying to Riyadh by private jet from London takes around 6h40 non-stop, aboard the comfortable large-cabin jets of VistaJet or NetJets.
flight_takeoffBook a flightKing Khalid International Airport (RUH) has a royal aviation terminal and a dedicated private jet FBO (ExecuJet Riyadh). For diplomatic and corporate delegations, the discretion and flexibility of private aviation are essential. Riyadh hosts major business summits (G20 2020, Future Investment Initiative) that generate strong demand for private jets from Europe and the United States.
Riyadh reveals an unexpected cultural face: the National Museum of Saudi Arabia, the historic district of Diriyah (UNESCO-listed, cradle of the Al Saud family), the souqs of Old Riyadh, and the Kingdom Tower (309 m, 360° views). Travellers seeking authenticity will discover the landscapes of the Tuwaiq Escarpment, the deserts of Najd, and Saudi restaurants serving kabsa and mandi in Bedouin-style décor.

All your questions about private jets to Riyadh
Yes. Saudi Arabia opened its doors to international tourism in 2019 as part of Vision 2030. Electronic visas are available for many nationalities. Social rules have evolved — women can drive, concerts and entertainment are permitted, mixed-gender restaurants are common. Riyadh remains a conservative city but is undergoing profound change.
Saudi Arabia requires special overflight permits for private jets (Air Permit). Your operator (VistaJet, PrivateFly) handles these authorisations 48–72 hours in advance. Alcohol is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia — no alcoholic beverages may be consumed or transported on the territory. A dress code (modest, covering clothing) applies in public.
Paris–Riyadh (6h40) costs between €28,000 and €53,000 depending on the aircraft. A large-cabin jet (Gulfstream G550, Global 5000, Falcon 2000LXS) is required for this 5,300 km journey. VistaJet and its competitors maintain permanent positions in both cities to meet sustained institutional demand.
Yes. A Riyadh–Dubai circuit (1h30 flight) followed by Dubai–Abu Dhabi (30 min) or Abu Dhabi–Dubai–Riyadh is very popular for corporate delegations on a Gulf tour. These multi-stop itineraries are common and easy to plan. LunaJets and VistaJet coordinate slots, FBOs, and transfers across the entire circuit.
Absolutely. Diriyah (At-Turaif), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the cradle of the Al Saud family and the first Saudi state (18th century). The site has been restored and transformed into a premium cultural destination. The Diriyah Development Authority is investing heavily to turn it into a district of museums, restaurants, and luxury hotels. Located 15 km from Riyadh, it is an unmissable visit.
Yes. Since 2019, foreign women can travel to Saudi Arabia without a male guardian (mahram) with a tourist or business visa. French businesswomen regularly visit Riyadh for meetings with the Saudi government and investment funds. With a private jet, the procedures are similar for men and women — your operator coordinates everything.
