Transportation to Airport from Tel Aviv City Center
Ben Gurion Airport
Tel Aviv is very rich in terms of transportation. Buses, trains and taxis are running all day to carry passengers to the airport. Car rental companies with offices in the city center meet special requests of passengers.
Taxi
Taxis offer service all day. You can get to the airport in about 25 minutes by taxi. It is recommended to demand the receipt from the driver before getting off the taxi. In addition to standard taxis, you can travel from the early hours of the morning until the night with Sherut taxis. Sherut stops are usually located side by side with bus stations in different parts of the city.
Bus
Bus route 6, which you get on from the bus stops located in the city center, offers service until 10:00 pm. In Tel Aviv, which has a lot of traffic in the morning and evening hours, you may need to take the road a bit earlier by taking into account the departure time of your flight. Since the names of the stops in Tel Aviv are written in Hebrew, it is beneficial to get information about the route in advance by making search online.
Train
Since trains are fast means of transportation, they are the commonly preferred options in Tel Aviv. However, because trains run every two hours, you should learn the departure times of trains in advance. Transportation to the airport by train which you will get on from the Tel Aviv Train Station lasts approximately 12 minutes.
Car Rental
In Tel Aviv, which is a crowded and complicated city, the fact that all of the signs are in Hebrew makes it difficult to drive for foreigners. For this reason, renting a car is a difficult option. Nevertheless, it is possible to get in contact with one of the car rental companies from the internet and rent a car very easily.
Airport Information
The international airport of Tel Aviv, which can compete with the world cities, is also quite dazzling. At the airport, which has three terminal buildings, everything is aforethought for the passengers.
Terminal 1, used for regional flights, is painted with the colors representing the three sacred mountains of Israel. Terminal 2 is only used as a cargo terminal.
Terminal 3, where international flights are made, has a small store called Buy&Bye. At the airport where smoking is prohibited, there are many restaurants that offer the flavors of the world cuisine, a post office and a large number of stores for passengers wanting to do some shopping. In addition, there are two synagogues for the Jews in the terminal.
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.
