Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
Abu Dhabi presents a wealth of world-class cultural and adventure experiences. During your stay, discover the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a spectacular structure of white marble that welcomes visitors of all faiths. For an immersion in art and history, visit the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the first universal museum in the Arab world, with its stunning floating dome design. Discover the city’s origins at Qasr Al Hosn, the oldest stone building in the capital, which showcases Emirati heritage. For thrills, head to Yas Island, a hub for family entertainment that hosts exhilarating theme parks like Ferrari World Abu Dhabi and Warner Bros. World. You can also embrace the natural side of the emirate by cycling along the beautiful Corniche or kayaking through the serene tidal lagoons of the Mangrove National Park.
Cap your stay by witnessing the architectural majesty and national pride of the UAE with a tour of the grand Qasr Al Watan, the working Presidential Palace.
