Murtala Muhammed International Airport is Nigeria’s primary international gateway and one of West Africa’s busiest air transportation hubs. As you prepare for your departure from Lagos, you will find this airport offers an efficient and welcoming start to your journey.
Travelling between central Lagos and the airport is easiest by taxi, which are readily available and affordable. Some hotels also offer pre-booked limousines. If you choose to take a bus, ensure you confirm the correct terminal, as the international and domestic terminals are separate, and no shuttle service operates between them. Limited short-term car parking is also available.
All Qatar Airways passengers depart from the international terminal. Once inside, you can access a good selection of amenities. Wi-Fi, along with executive and VIP lounges, is available for business and first-class travellers. For your convenience, the airport includes a meet and greet lounge, prayer rooms and special access for disabled passengers. A variety of retail outlets are available selling Nigerian goods, jewellery, electrical products and perfume, complemented by a duty-free area after customs. Look for on-the-go snacks, coffee and light refreshments served throughout the terminal and in the food court, alongside ATMs and currency exchange services.
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.
