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 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.
