Transportation to Airport from Dammam City Center
King Fahd Intl. Airport
There are bus services that you can use to go to the Dammam King Fahd International Airport from the city center. If you want a more comfortable travel, you can get on a taxi. Another alternative is renting a car to go to the airport.
Taxi
You can easily find a taxi in the city center. Your hotel can also help you about this issue. Because there is no taximeter in the taxi, you should bargain and agree with the fare before you get on. The fare you will pay should be around 50-60 SAR. From Dammam city center, you can arrive at the airport in about half an hour by taxi.
Bus
If you prefer going to the airport by a public transportation vehicle, you can get on the bus from the bus station, which is very close to the city center. Bus ticket price is 12 SAR per person. It is possible to reach the airport in about 40 minutes by bus. Public transportation can be a good alternative for those coming from Al-Khobar and Al-Hasa. Once you have reached Dammam city center by bus, you can easily get to the airport by transferring from here.
Car Rental
Car rental is highly preferred by tourists since public transportation in Dammam can be generally distressful. In the city center you can see the offices of many car rental companies. If you wish, your hotel can also help you to rent a car. It is possible to arrive at the airport in half an hour with the car you rent. From the city center you must connect to King Fahd road and follow the airport sign boards.
Airport Information
Although the King Fahd International Airport, which is 20 km northeast of the city center, is at world standards, problems can sometimes emerge and long queues may occur in passport control. It is appropriate to arrange your arrival time to the airport in order not to be exposed to unexpected situations.
You can find bank, ATM and exchange bureau in the King Fahd Airport.
There is also a self-service restaurant as well as a great number of cafes and buffets selling snacks and drinks. There is no free Wi-Fi service throughout the airport but there are internet access tables at different points.
As well as duty free stores, shops where you can buy souvenirs, clothes and books offer service for passengers. For the smokers, there is a private indoor room within the airport.
There is a large mosque on the roof of the parking lot belonging to the King Fahd Airport and it is connected to the terminal with private bridges. All of these bridges are air-conditioned.
If you do not want to give up on your comfort, you can wait your flight in the VIP lounge at the outgoing passenger terminal. On the other hand, seminar and meeting halls are not available at the airport.
Transportation to Khartoum City Center from Airport
Khartoum International Airport
There is an international airport in Khartoum, but preparations are under way for a new airport as it is not sufficient to meet the needs. The new airport is 40 kilometers to the south from Khartoum. Khartoum also has a railway transport system that connects to the surrounding areas and even to Egypt, although it is not used in urban transport.
There are not many alternatives to reach the city center from Khartoum International Airport which is 12 kilometers to the center of the city. Especially in the city where public transport is hardly used at long distances, car rental is the most preferred method. Of course, the fact that gasoline prices are extremely cheap is a big factor.
Hotel Shuttle
If you are not thinking about renting a car, the easiest and most reliable way for you is to use hotel shuttles. You should definitely check in advance whether or not your hotel provides this service and if they do you should make a reservation with your hotel. You can negotiate the price.
Taxi
Although taxis are not used very much in the city center, you can find them at the airport. But you have to make a strict negotiation at first about the fee. If you are going to use taxi, you can reach the city center in about 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
Car Rental
One of the most preferred transportation methods in the city is car rental. The cheap gasoline prices are the biggest factor here. You can consider renting a car since finding a taxi in the city is not easy and other public transportation alternatives are not very comfortable. In this regard, you can benefit from car rental companies located at the airport. On the other hand you can also get help from the hotel you stay at. The biggest disadvantage of renting a car in Khartoum is the dense traffic flow.
If you have rented a car in this city where the traffic signs are not frequently used and the number of cars in the traffic is high, you should be very careful. If you rent a car, you can arrive from the airport to the city center within 20 minutes by taking a straight road via Africa Street.
