Shahjalal International Airport is Bangladesh’s largest air hub, welcoming millions of passengers annually. As you prepare for your flight from Dhaka, ensure a smooth departure by planning your journey to the airport. The most convenient way to reach the International Terminal, located on the upper floor, is via an official, metered taxi, which your hotel concierge can arrange. Although an airport shuttle bus operates from the city centre, it can be crowded if you have significant luggage. Private hire vehicles and limited parking in the multi-storey car park for 500 vehicles are also available options.
Security is very tight, so allow at least two hours before your flight to check in and clear all checks. Once airside, you will find adequate facilities, including a comfortable VIP lounge for Business and First Class travellers. You can grab light snacks, fast food, or local specialities at the handful of restaurants, or perhaps pick up a gift at the Duty Free shop. For your convenience, currency exchange, ATM facilities and a post office are also available, and Wi-Fi access is offered in some areas of the airport.
AlUla is a unique crossroads of civilisations and modern development, where you can admire millennia-old heritage and contemporary sophistication. Explore this destination by roaming around the stunning desert landscape and go into the heart of the ancient oasis.
Begin with a visit to Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient Nabataean city features over 110 remarkably preserved tombs carved into the golden sandstone rock, clearly revealing the stories of a bygone era. Discover the historical city of Dadan, the former capital of the Dadanite and Lihyanite kingdoms. Then head to the nearby Jabal Ikmah, often described as an ‘open-air library’ due to its abundance of ancient rock inscriptions.
For exciting outdoor adventures, enjoy a hot air balloon ride offering breath-taking views of the canyons, or go stargazing at the International DarkSky Park. To marvel at an iconic sight, experience the vast, natural sandstone sculpture known as Elephant Rock.
