 KFIA
This is because airports, though they are important strategic, economic and social pillars for the cities they serve, they have other disadvantages that make them undesirable to the residents adjacent to them due to the high noise level of aviation traffic.
Consequently, the airport was constructed on a large plot of land far away from residential areas in order to control the noise arising from aircraft in their landing and takeoff operations.
The airport has emerged as an architectural masterpiece and a modern image of the Kingdom with its multi-level facilities and installations that were designed according to the most advanced international standards and specifications to provide maximum safety and a smooth passenger flow through the airport for air and passenger traffic.

 Passenger Opinions about Jeddah King Abdul Aziz Airport
The South terminal much closer to town is used exclusively by Saudia for both their domestic (on the left side on entry) and international (on the right side).
Both terminals are tatty and run down and pretty chaotic though some improvements have been made to customer flow and retail outlets at the north terminal which makes it a bit less of an ordeal.
If you have to go from the Domestic terminal to the International terminal there is no bus and an expensive (50 riyals) 5 minute cab ride to drive you 7/8ths of the way around a circle to get you to the other terminal.

Over all, the most dramatic political change at the end of the XX Century, rivaling that of the fall of the Soviet empire, was the shift of the Marxist mystique of the international fabric of terrorism towards one inspired by fanatic "fundamentalist" Islam.
The international terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as "Carlos" or "The Jackal", who lives today in a comfortable Parisian cell courtesy of the French taxpayers, personifies that historic shift.
Pampered son of a wealthy founder of Venezuela's Communist Party, Ramírez initiated his bloody terrorist career seeking socialism and "world revolution." But it was only after he started to perform his dark craft under the banners of fanatical Islam that his terror star really shone.
