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.

For transportation to Adareil, you can fly to the Khartoum International Airport, which hosts regular flights to and from many destinations. The transportation options are extremely limited in Khartoum, the capital and second largest city of Sudan. In order to get to Adareil from the capital, you can take a taxi at the airport and go to the bus terminal that is only a few kilometers away. There you can take a bus to reach directly to Adareil. You can also take advantage of taking a taxi at Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil directly, but please keep in mind that this will be much more expensive compared to intercity bus services.

Taxi

Taxi is the first choice of visitors since there is no public transport from Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil city center directly. You can arrive at the bus terminal in a very short time by taking a taxi from the airport, which is located in a very central area of the capital, and then you can take an intercity bus in the Adareil direction from the terminal. You can also prefer to reach Adareil directly by taxi. However, the taxi ride from Khartoum to Adareil would be a costly alternative. The taxi ride from the airport to Khartoum city center will cost around 20-30$.

Bus

You can go out of the airport terminal and take one of the local buses and minibusses passing by, so you can get to Khartoum city center cheaper. However, this may sound highly complicated to the visitors who are not familiar with the city because they may lose their sense of direction easily. Once you reach Khartoum city center by bus, you may need to take a bus or taxi once again to get to the bus terminal, where you will get on the bus to Adareil.

The bus ride in the city is often considered safe during the day, but you should be more careful about your safety at night. If your budget is not very limited, you can enjoy a fast and safe trip by choosing the taxi option instead of the bus ride.

Rent a car

After landing at Khartoum International Airport, you can also take advantage of renting a car to reach Adareil as another alternative. The passengers who would especially like to make a stop at different points on the road and make a flexible travel plan can rent a car in Khartoum to reach Adareil without thinking too much. When it comes to disadvantages of car rental option, one can say that the direction signs in Sudan are mostly very complicated and difficult to understand. If you have never been to the area before and if you are planning to travel by car for the first time, you are recommended to put car rental option aside and get on a bus to the terminal for bus transfer to Adareil.

Private Transfer Services

The use of private transfer service is not particularly common on this route. However, if you are traveling to Adareil for an event or organization, you can arrange a private transfer service vehicle for yourself by getting assistance from local officials and guides. The private transfer service, much more comfortable and safer than buses, will make your trip to Sudan much easier. You can take advantage of this service just to get to the bus terminal from Khartoum International Airport as well. To do so, you should inform the service company of your arrival time in advance and you may have to wait for a while in front of the terminal building. If you want to travel without waiting, you can take a taxi at the terminal exit of Khartoum International Airport.
