Hi All - have searched google and a few airlines in advance of this post. Curious whether anyone knows of regular direct flights from middle-east to Madrid or Malaga (or even Gibraltor). Thanks

Both Qatar airways and Emirates flies to Madrid. I am sure that there are more.

Thanks all. I did use skyscanner and another sites too. My real hope was to locate a direct flight from Riyadh to Madrid/Malaga. Can fly Riyadh to Jeddah and onto Madrid via Saudi. I was hoping by the fact that there are a lot of arabs in Marbella over summer that this might mean a direct flight - which there probably is in the form of the King's private 747!

Saudia has direct flights from Riyadh to Madrid three times a week (with one stop in Milan without changing aircraft)

Gibraltar is British old boy, not in Spain

Yes I know. It was a a wildcard thought as my aim is to get me to marbella which is almost equidistant between malaga and the rock. And let's avoid the debate about the rock's future sovereign state!

Thanks. The fact there is no change of plane is good to hear. It might become a regular route for me. Much appreciated.

Air France direct from RUH to CDG (Paris) just after midnight getting in @0530 in time for croissants et chocolat.
Then Air Europa down to Malaga.

You can also get to Madrid from CDG via Easyjet and Vueling
