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 Zanzibar City Center from Airport
Abeid Amani Karume Intl. Airport
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, also known as Kisauni Airport, is an important transportation center of the region with its distance of about 5 kilometers from the capital Zanzibar. Regular flights to European cities, to East Africa and the Middle East take place from the airport. The airport which was known as Kisauni before, is carrying the name of the first president of the country since 2010.
It is possible to travel to Israel's Tel Aviv city, Germany's Munich and Frankfurt cities, Dubai, Doha, Amsterdam, Brussels, Nairobi, Milan, Bologna and Istanbul with seasonal flights from the airport.
When you arrive at the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you can get to the center which is 5 kilometers away by taking a taxi, renting a car from one of the local Zanzibar rental companies, or with airport shuttle if you have booked in advance
Taxi
At Abeid Amani Karume International Airport you can find taxis without difficulty, especially during flight times. The taxis in Zanzibar determine their fares based on the taximeter device turned on in front of the airport terminal; you can reach your destination with a not-so-high fare thanks to the factors such as the close proximity of the airport. However, if you still have some question marks about the taxi fare that you would pay, you can go to the information desks at the airport without having to leave the terminal after your plane has landed, and you can ask the average taxi fare by showing the address you will be going to. Another way to know about the taxi fare in advance and have a more comfortable journey on this route is to discuss with the taxi drivers waiting in front of the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.
Car Rental
At Abeid Amani Karume International Airport or Kisauni Airport, as it was known before, generally the local car rental companies serve to those passengers willing to rent a car. After renting your car from the companies located at the airport terminal, you can deal with a local guide or drive with a navigation device if you would like to find your way easily to the center. Car rental fares are not usually high at the airport and you will not have much difficulty driving and finding parking slot in the city. This way, if you are planning to travel between different regions of Zanzibar, you can consider renting a car and driving to the center.
Airport Shuttle
The airport shuttle service is among one of the top preferences of passengers who will stay in a large hotel, especially in the center of Zanzibar. If you are not planning to stay in a hotel in the center or the hotel you are staying at does not offer this service, it is possible for you to look online and find a private shuttle company. If you are going to get support from a local guide while you are in the city, you can also ask your guide for help finding and booking an airport shuttle. The fare you would pay in Zanzibar, where the airport is only about 5 kilometers outside the center, for a shuttle to get to the city center will usually be low. On the other hand, keep in mind that based on the distance the fare you would pay increase if you will be travelling further away from the center.
