Flights from Jeddah (JED) to Manila (MNL)

King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) is served by limousines, buses and taxis, so getting to the airport to fly from Jeddah to Manila should be doable. A direct flight takes about 10 hours and double this duration for flights with layovers. Manila is one of Asia's economic hubs and is a popular destination for trade conventions. Travelers can explore the city's historical sites, sample the diverse cuisine and shop at open markets. Visitors are also drawn to the beaches along the coastal areas.

Attractions

Manila's Chinatown area is the Binondo District where you can sample authentic Hokkien cuisine in street stalls or luxury restaurants. Malacanan Palace is open for tours of the Presidential Museum and Library. Drive down Roxas Boulevard at sunset, and you will have Manila Bay on one side, condo hotels on the other and burnt orange skies above. For a beach adventure, Boracay de Cavite and Anilao Beach are only a few hours away by car. For art enthusiasts, the National Gallery of Art presents the works of 19th-century Filipino artists while the Metropolitan Museum of Manila features contemporary painters.

Hints and tips

Manila spent more than three centuries under Spanish rule, so vestiges of Spanish culture are still evident in the practices, architecture and languages of the Philippines. Expect warm and muggy weather from May to November when average temperatures are between the high 70s to the mid-90s. This is also the rainy typhoon season, so plan accordingly when you fly from Jeddah to Manila International Airport (MNL).
