Questions about the break
When is Saudi National Day 2026 and how long is the break?
Saudi National Day falls on Wednesday 23 September 2026, the Kingdom’s 96th. The break is expected to run 23 to 26 September, a Wednesday to Saturday, which is the window every fare on this page is priced for. The exact working days either side have not been formally confirmed, so treat the four day shape as expected rather than official.
Which destinations can I visit with no visa on a Saudi passport?
Eleven of the seventeen priced here: Dubai, Bahrain, Doha, Muscat, Cairo, Amman, Istanbul, Tbilisi, Baku, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. The four Gulf neighbours accept a Saudi national ID in place of a passport. Georgia allows a full year, Turkiye ninety days in any one hundred and eighty, Thailand sixty days and Malaysia up to ninety. Use the visa filter on the widget above to see only these. The other six need paperwork: London an ETA, the Maldives a visa on arrival, New Delhi an e-Visa, and Paris, Athens and Barcelona a Schengen visa booked at a consulate.
Which trips are worst hit by the National Day markup?
From Riyadh, five nonstops stand out: Tbilisi at about 105 percent above an ordinary week, Paris 93, Doha 85, Istanbul 83 and Baku 64. Everything else from Riyadh is under 25 percent, and Muscat and Barcelona are actually cheaper. The striking part is that the same five routes are close to flat out of Jeddah, so if you can reach either airport it is worth pricing both before you settle on a destination.
Do I need anything extra beyond a visa?
For three destinations, yes. Thailand requires the Thailand Digital Arrival Card and Malaysia the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card, both filed online before you land, even though neither needs a visa. The Maldives asks for a Traveller Declaration within ninety six hours of travel. Azerbaijan’s visa free entry is limited to three visits in a year, with a maximum of thirty days each.
Are these fares nonstop?
Thirty six of the forty five cards are, and each card says so. Where the search returned no nonstop for these dates the card shows the cheapest connection instead and is labelled with the stop count. The Athens and Barcelona nonstops are summer routes that are not flying in late September, and Dammam has no nonstop to Tbilisi, Baku or London on these dates.
How do the Wego National Day promo codes work?
They only apply to searches started from the Wego Saudi National Day page, and they need a Book on Wego fare at checkout. Starting a search anywhere else means the code will not attach, so open that page first if you intend to use one.

How we priced this
- The window. Departing Wednesday 23 September 2026, the National Day holiday itself, returning Saturday 26 September. One adult, economy, return, taxes included, priced in SAR on Wego’s Saudi site. Using a different point of sale moves the numbers, so all of them come from the same one.
- The control week. 9 to 12 September 2026, the same Wednesday to Saturday shape two weeks earlier, so day of week pricing is held constant and the gap is the holiday rather than the weekend.
- Which destinations. Seventeen, chosen from Wego’s published route timetables as places flown nonstop from at least Riyadh and Jeddah, and picked to span the three entry tiers so the visa filter returns a useful list in every position. Dammam carries eleven of them.
- Nonstop versus connecting. Each card shows the cheapest nonstop when the search for these exact dates returned one, and the cheapest connection when it did not. The comparison percentage is always computed on the same basis in both windows, and is left off entirely where the control search had no match on that basis. Two cards lost their figure that way.
- The bar chart measures the same thing the cards do. It prices Riyadh departures only, each destination on its own headline basis, nonstop against nonstop or connection against connection, so a bar can never disagree with the Riyadh card above it. We started by averaging Riyadh and Jeddah and abandoned it: the spread between the two origins is wider than the spread between destinations, so a mean of +105 and -0.1 percent on Tbilisi would have described neither. Jeddah is shown separately instead. We also tested whether route density explains the premium and it does not: across the seventeen the correlation between weekly nonstop frequency and the premium is essentially zero.
- Entry requirements. Taken from each destination’s own government source, listed above, and checked on 24 August 2026 for an ordinary Saudi passport on a short tourist visit. Wego’s visa free lookup was used only to build the candidate list, never as a label: it carries no visa type, so it cannot tell an eVisa from true visa free travel, and a country missing from it is absent from that list rather than closed to Saudi travellers.
- Caveat. Fares are a snapshot. Treat the direction and the size of the gaps as the finding, and open the live search before you commit. Baggage and cancellation terms are not priced here because airline fare records report them incompletely; check them on the airline’s own site.
Disclaimer. Airfares are dynamic and change without notice. The prices shown are indicative of what was available at sampling and are not offers, guarantees or a rate card. Entry requirements are summarised for an ordinary Saudi passport on a short tourist visit and are not immigration advice; the destination’s own authority is the only binding source. Confirm the current fare, the full fare conditions and the entry rules before you travel.
