Start your journey effortlessly at Ahmedabad Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, one of India’s busiest and most modern transport hubs, offering you a warm and personalised departure experience. When travelling from Ahmedabad, you will depart from the award-winning Terminal 2. It is advisable to arrive at least two hours early to navigate the 32 check-in counters and clear customs efficiently.
Getting to the airport is straightforward. While a limited city bus service offers a cheap option, arranging a pre-booked taxi or limousine via your hotel is usually more convenient, especially if you're carrying luggage. Taxis serving Terminal 1 are typically run by the Taxi Drivers Association. If you are driving, ample car parking is available with over 1,000 spaces at Terminal 1, and you'll find 900 more at Terminal 2.
Terminal 2 is bright and spacious, even during peak times. Here, you will find excellent facilities designed for your comfort, including banking and ATMs, internet connectivity in most public areas and retail outlets for last-minute shopping. Look forward to browsing the great selection of goods at the Duty Free outlet in T2 before boarding.
Basra is a truly vibrant and historic Iraqi port city. It's strategically located on the Shatt al-Arab waterway, which is formed by the convergence of the legendary Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This unique geography has often earned it the nickname the 'Venice of the East', due to its intricate system of canals and long history as a major commercial centre.
The city merges ancient culture with contemporary sophistication, and its roots date back to the 7th century. To immerse yourself in its deep past, visit the Basra Museum, which showcases a compelling collection of artefacts from the Mesopotamian civilisation.
For a taste of local life, explore the old bazaars, which bustle with traders selling regional spices, textiles, and Basra's world-renowned fresh dates. You can also experience the city's modern heartbeat during an evening walk along the lively Basra Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade.
