Saudi Area Codes

Saudi City and Region Area Codes

This tool is a quick reference for the landline area codes used across Saudi Arabia. When you dial a fixed-line number within the Kingdom, the call starts with a regional prefix that identifies the city or area you are reaching. Looking up the right code saves time and avoids failed calls, especially when you are contacting offices, hotels, hospitals, or government departments that still rely on landlines.

The major regions each have their own code. Riyadh uses 011, Jeddah, Mecca, and the western area use 012, while Dammam, Khobar, and the Eastern Province use 013. Medina and Tabuk fall under 014, the southern cities such as Abha use 017, and Hail and Buraydah in the north use 016.

How to Use It

Find your city in the list to read its area code, or use it to confirm a number you already have. When calling a Saudi landline from abroad, add the country code 966 and drop the leading zero of the area code. These prefixes apply to fixed lines; mobile numbers in the Kingdom start with 05 and do not use a regional area code.
