Biden arrived at the Jeddah International Airport directly from Israel. This was a first time-ever affair as Saudi Arabia opened its airspace literally in hours to all international flights.
He was received at the Airport by the Makkah Governor Prince Khalid Al Faisal and then taken with his party to Al Salam Palace.
