Al-Wajh Domestic Airport is a small airfield on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast in Tabuk Province, serving the town of Al-Wajh and the neighbouring Umluj governorate, with a single terminal and one asphalt runway. ## Smoking Areas ### Outside the Terminal (Landside) Smoking is permitted outside Al-Wajh Airport’s terminal building, landside, where Saudi Arabia’s Anti-Smoking Law permits smoking in the open air. The law (Royal Decree M/56 of 1436H/2015) restricts smoking inside enclosed public-transport facilities, with isolated exceptions set out in its Implementing Regulations; that restriction does not extend to the open-air space outside the building. ### After Security Al-Wajh Airport’s Plaza Premium Lounge, next to Gate 2 in Domestic Departure, has no smoking area — unlike the Hayyak Lounges at several sibling Saudi regional airports — and there is no other smoking facility after security. Smoke outside the terminal building, landside, before you clear security screening. ## E-Cigarettes and Vaping Al-Wajh Airport, one of Saudi Arabia’s smallest scheduled airfields, publishes no separate rule for e-cigarettes. Vaping is legal nationally in Saudi Arabia, so travellers can use the same open-air landside option outside the terminal that is available for cigarettes; there is no vaping facility after security. ## Summary | Area | Smoking Allowed | Type | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Outside the terminal (landside) | Yes | Outdoor | Where Saudi Arabia’s Anti-Smoking Law permits smoking in the open air | | Departure area (after security) | No | — | No smoking facility | | Vaping | Yes | Outdoor | Airport publishes no separate rule; same open-air landside option as cigarettes | Al-Wajh has the same landside outdoor option as [Qassim Airport](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/saudi-arabia/elq-smoking-at-qassim-airport/), though Qassim also has an airside lounge smoking area that Al-Wajh’s own lounge doesn’t have; passengers connecting through Jeddah or Riyadh can check our [guide to smoking and vaping rules at airports](https://www.airportsmokingzones.com/can-you-smoke-or-vape-at-airports/) for what to expect at those larger hubs.
