You can travel to Yüksekova Selahaddin Eyyubi Airport from Hakkâri by renting a car or taking a taxi.
It is nearly one hour ride by taxi to the airport from the city center, where you can find the taxi stands. The journey may take a little longer at the evening hours due to the security reasons, especially during the winter months, so you may need to set off earlier to reach the airport on time.
You can rent a car and travel to the airport by contacting Sümbül Oto Kiralama (Car Rental), the only car rental company in Hakkari city center. Renting a car may be risky given the long and difficult conditions of winter climate.
Yüksekova Selahaddin Eyyubi Airport has recently been put into service, so only a few services can be provided inside the single terminal building. The airport, which has an ample parking area around it, has a health care room for emergency purposes and a baby care room for the passengers traveling with infants or small children. You can make your money transactions in the town center because there is no cash dispenser at the airport.
Taxis are available 24/7 at the arrivals area of King Khalid International Airport. They are usually metered, but confirming the fare with the driver beforehand is recommended. Expect the journey to the city center to take approximately 25-30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem offer alternative options to taxis with designated ride-hailing pick-up zones near terminals.
Public buses connect the airport to various parts of Riyadh, including the city center. They typically operate during daytime hours, but schedules and routes should be confirmed at the airport information desk. Look for clearly marked bus stops at the arrivals area.
Riyadh metro system consists of six lines, connecting 85 stations. Line 4, or also known as the Yellow Line, runs from King Khalid International Airport to the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). Passengers opting for public transportation can use the metro, as it is available at the airport exits, and tickets can be obtained from machines at the station.
Car rental agencies at the airport allow travelers to drive themselves to the city center. Ensure you have a valid international license and insurance. Parking is available at most hotels and key locations in Riyadh.
Many hotels in Riyadh provide shuttle services to and from the airport. Contact your hotel in advance to confirm pick-up arrangements and locations. These services are especially useful for first-time visitors.
