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.
Experience the rich history and cultural diversity of Edinburgh, Scotland’s captivating capital city. There, you can immerse yourself in a place known for its imposing architecture and world-renowned festivals.
Edinburgh Castle is the dominant feature of the skyline, but exploring beneath its granite walls reveals museums and quaint alleyways. Take time to visit the beautiful Abbey and Palace of Holyroodhouse, which showcases an impressive art collection. For a peaceful afternoon, head over to the Royal Botanic Garden for a tranquil escape.
Make Edinburgh Castle a priority on your list of places to see; listen out for the daily noonday gun. Discover the Grassmarket area of the Old Town, filled with charming cafés, restaurants, and shops. You can get a unique panoramic view of the city from the Camera Obscura on Castle Hill.
Edinburgh also boasts excellent concert and theatre venues like the Edinburgh Playhouse and Festival Theatre. Before your trip concludes, try to visit Arthur’s Seat, an extinct volcano offering spectacular views just east of the city.
