Transportation to Airport from Taif City Center
Taif Regional Airport
Buses are the most convenient option that you can choose to reach the airport from Taif city center. You can also get to the airport by taxi or by renting a car from the city center.
Bus
Direct buses to the airport depart from Al Taif Station in Taif Al Faisaliah. Local bus services operated by SAPTCO depart on short intervals. According to the current information in SAPTCO's web site the fare you will pay for this trip, which is about 30 kilometers, is 15 Saudi Riyals and it takes about 1 hour. You can make your reservation at the official website of SAPTCO or you can get your ticket from the sales points. It is also possible to buy tickets from almost every stop.
Taxi
You must absolutely have an agreement with the driver about the fare before you start your journey, if you are taking a taxi without a taximeter. Otherwise, you can pay really high fares. Taxis are the least preferred means of transportation by visitors of Taif, where there is not much alternatives in terms of transportation in the city.
Taxi fares are more expensive than other means of transportation. This is why we recommend you take advantage of the bus or car rental service instead of taxis. You should be careful about the taxi you take. In Taif, limousine taxis, for example, are also available and they are much more expensive than regular taxis.
Car Rental
There are car rental companies located in the city as well as in Taif Airport. Car rental companies are as popular as local buses, as the oil prices here are low. In additions, there are extremely modern highways in Taif that has links to all nearby cities. You can go to the airport with your vehicle rented from Taif city and deliver it to the same car rental company in the terminal.
Airport Information
Taif Airport, 70 kilometers from Mecca and 30 kilometers from Taif city center, is an airport suitable for international and domestic flights. You will not find much shops and similar entertainment areas at Taif Airport, which is smaller than other airports in Saudi Arabia with regard to area and capacity.
Taif Airport is of great importance for the history of Saudi aviation. The first one to land this airport was Ibn Saud, the founder of the kingdom. It is an airport used both for military and public purposes.
In the terminal you can find a small parking area for cars and the offices of most preferred car rental companies throughout Saudi Arabia. You can also see bus stops and taxi stands, from where you can take a bus or taxi to Taif city center, at a short distance from the terminal exit.
The airport interior design is not too complicated as there is not much to do inside the airport. Several major airline companies, including Turkish Airlines, organize flights to Taif Airport.
Transportation to Alroy Downs City Center from Airport
Alroy Downs Airport
Generally, regional flights are organized with small airplanes from Alroy Downs Airport, which is located near Alroy Downs, a small settlement in the north of Australia. You can go to the city center by renting a car before visiting the airport terminal or after going to the city, or you can prefer taxis and private shuttles.
Car Rental
Passengers who will land at Alroy Downs Airport can prefer renting a car from the terminal or nearby for going to the center, which is not so far. Around the airport, small and local rental companies generally provide service to the passengers. Do not forget to bring your passport and other travel documents to the rental office in order to take your car from these companies without any problems. After you rent a car and leave the airport, directions for city center will guide you to reach the center of Alroy Downs easily.
Taxi
The airport is generally used for regional and short-distance flights. Therefore, it is not always possible to find a taxi easily in front of the terminal. If you want to come to the center from the airport by a taxi, you must obtain information from the accommodation facility you will stay at or your local guide in advance. Taxis carry passengers over the price written on the taximeter and you don’t generally have a big chance of bargaining. However, you can talk to the driver beforehand and ask for some discount if you go to a farther place outside the center.
Private Shuttle
Fast, safe and comfortable private shuttles are among the fantastic alternatives to prefer while travelling between Alroy Downs Airport and the center. Those who will come to the center especially with 4-5 or more people can make a reservation beforehand and prefer traveling with private shuttles. Alroy Downs is not such a big settlement, and therefore, service facilities can be limited in some periods. So, you can make research about services before your travel to the city and reserve a suitable vehicle with the support of the hotel where you will stay close to the airport if needed.
