In 2022, Makkah welcomed 15.4 million inbound tourists, making the city the primary destination for inbound tourists arriving in Saudi Arabia. In comparison, Riyadh welcomed 2.8 million inbound tourists, making it the second most visited city in the country that year. Tourist arrivals were calculated based on the primary destination, and not secondary cities visited throughout the trip, which would otherwise make Al-Madinah the second most popular tourist destination.
