Transportation from the City Center to Abha International Airport
The city of Abha is a cultural center with a great location in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia, between the peaks of the Sarat Mountains, at an altitude of 2,200 meters above sea level. Even in summer, you can clear your way through the fog that overtakes the city and discover its magnificent views and rich cultural diversity.
Before leaving the city, do not forget to buy souvenirs of Al-Qatt Al-Aseeri art, which was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2017.
Since transfer opportunities to the airport are limited, your first job before starting your trip should be to contact the hotel you are staying at and find out if they provide you with a paid or free airport transfer. If your hotel doesn't provide a transfer service, you can arrange this transfer online or from a trusted tourist agency you can find while you're walking around town. The list of these companies is available on the airport's official website.
You can take a taxi to reach the airport from the city center. You can find taxis clustered especially in touristic spots. Before you start your journey, it is recommended that you ask how much it will cost to your destination and start bargaining at least halfway, as taxis here are known for overpriced, especially to tourists. The airport is about 20 km away and this journey takes an average of 20 minutes.
Instead of taking a taxi from touristic points, you can go to the reception of any hotel and ask them to call you a taxi.
Since there are so many places to see in Abha, visitors who come here usually go to rent a car. Thus, while they are visiting places such as Abha Dam, Shada Palace and Jabal Al-Sooda, they deliver the car they rent from the airport. However, since some distances are long, you can also try to rent a car with a driver in such a plan.
