This article is about accessibility for those with special needs in King Abdul Aziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The airport is expanding and accomodating those who have trouble getting around the airport by providing wheelchairs, etc.

Handicapped Accessible Everything in Saudi Arabia


I think Saudi Arabia would be an easier country for disabled people to live in if things were a little more accessible to people with disabilities. Things like those below can help make KSA a more disability-friendly place:


  • Lowered sidewalks
  • Wheelchair ramps built for wheelchair users
  • More elevators in business establishments
  • Parking spaces near front entrances of stores and malls 
  • Vehicles (specifically mini vans) available for sale with electronic levers to help the wheelchair user get into the car easier
  • Handicap accessible public bathrooms


Come on Saudi you can do it!
