Transportation from City Center to Mogadishu Airport
Aden Adde International Airport, formerly known as Mogadishu International Airport, is the main international airport serving Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia and the country's most developed city. It has recently undergone a good renovation with the help of Turkey. There are direct flights from the airport to many Middle Eastern countries, especially African countries, and Turkey.
Although it is an average of 5 km from the city center, there is no public transport or taxi to the airport. For security reasons, it is recommended to arrange your transfer from Mogadishu to the airport through your hotel or business partners. Before traveling to this country and region, T.C. Following the current announcements on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs page should be one of your first steps in order to have a safe journey.
Roads in Mogadishu are not in good condition in terms of life safety, but they are also physically demanding. Generally, the muddy and accident-prone roads do not pass the traffic rules and there are no traffic lights.
You can arrange a private transfer from Mogadishu city center to the airport with an armored vehicle by contacting Bashir ([email protected]) from Peace Hotel, one of the safest hotels in the city, as there is no public transport or taxi. When reaching from one place to another in Mogadishu, it is recommended to travel with an armored vehicle with a driver and armed guards.
You can find a reliable tour company by searching the internet or from someone who has been to Mogadishu before, and you can make a tour agreement that includes airport transfer from the city center.
