This is a list of the busiest airports in the Middle East (handling more than 5,000,000 passengers per year), ranked by total passengers per year, including both terminal and transit passengers.
The tables also show the percentage change in total passengers for each airport over the last year. Data is sourced individually for each airport and normally originates from national aviation authority statistics, or those of the airport operator or international civil aviation authorities.
2023 data is being updated as not all Airports and state regulatory entities have disclosed the statistic up until now.
