JIB-AHB
Transportation from the City Center to Djibouti Airport
The official name of Djibouti Airport is Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport and it is also the main airport of Djibouti, the capital of the Republic of Djibouti. Although not well known, Djibouti is an undiscovered tourism destination that offers many touristic experiences to its visitors.
You do not have any public transportation option to get to Djibouti Airport from Djibouti city center. You will either take a taxi or hire a private transfer. Taxis in Djibouti are your hands and feet here. Especially if you are going to stay longer, try to find a contact from your friends or colleagues who have been here before.
If you can't find a contact and you like the service you get from the taxi driver you get on, get his contact number without looking for more adventures and do not be surprised by that driver during your trip. It is easy to find a taxi in the city. A special stop area is reserved for taxis in Djibouti Bawadi Mall.
If you are not in a place like a shopping mall, you can find taxis grouped around the Heron Hotel and the Kempinski Hotel. If you are far from here, the places you should look are around La Galette, Place Menelik or Moulk Center. Taxi fares are always negotiable. In addition to the local language, French and Arabic languages are also widely spoken here. Therefore, you will not have a big problem when communicating with taxi drivers. The airport is located approximately 10 km from the city center. Although the airport is close to the city center, the journey takes about 20 minutes due to the condition of the roads.
Apart from a taxi, the best remaining option is to arrange a private transfer. You can do this from several places. First of all, if there is a tour you buy online, add your airport transfer to it, another one is to book an airport transfer from online sites or contact the hotel you are staying and use the hotel's transfer directly. If you are going to Djibouti for business, you can ask your colleagues there to drop you off at the airport.
Transportation from Abha International Airport to the City Center
Located between the summits of the Sarat Mountains, at an altitude of 2,200 meters, the city of Abha has a wonderful location in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia. Even in summer, you can clear your way through the fog that overtakes the city and discover its plains, landscapes and rich cultural diversity.
You can enjoy listening to old tales while walking around the historical houses dating back hundreds of years in Abha. These houses have been converted into museums by their owners and opened to visitors all over the world. Before leaving the city, don't forget to buy souvenirs featuring Al-Qatt Al-Aseeri art, which was included in the list of intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2017. In this way, you will leave Abha with a piece of her.
Transfer opportunities from the airport to Abha city center are very limited. Therefore, before you start your trip, you should first contact your hotel and find out if they provide you with a paid or free airport transfer.
If your hotel does not offer such a transfer service, you can book an airport transfer from a reliable website available online. In fact, if your flight is at an early hour, you can buy a tour from a reliable tourism agency, start the tour as soon as you get off the plane, and let yourself be dropped off at your hotel in the evening. Thus, you will have killed two birds in one turn.
Taxi or Uber vehicles are the only means of transportation you can find from the airport to the city center without losing any effort. If you are going to take the taxis at the airport, you should first ask how much it will cost to your destination and then start the bargain at least halfway.
If you say you can't bargain, you can call an Uber and go to your hotel without the language barrier or having to carry cash. The city center is about 20 km away and this journey takes an average of 20 minutes.
If you think that there are many places to see in Abha but transportation is difficult, you can pick up your rental car from the airport and set off immediately. Thus, you can visit places such as Abha Dam, Shada Palace, Jabal Al-Sooda with your own rhythm and walk around as you wish.
