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.
The Maldives is a tropical destination boasting crystal-clear oceans and powder-soft white sand. Moving between the islands is an experience in itself. Take a speedboat or scenic seaplane to reach your chosen location, as the archipelago is made up of over 1,100 stunning coral islands.
The main attraction of the Maldives is the natural environment, where the rhythm of life is dictated by the ocean. Beneath the surface, a vibrant world awaits. Explore the colourful coral reefs through world-class diving and snorkelling, and admire a rich tapestry of aquatic life. This is the ultimate escape if you're seeking serenity in the Indian Ocean.
If you wish to go beyond the resorts, take a water taxi to the nation's capital, Malé. Here, you can taste a slice of authentic Maldivian culture away from the idyllic resorts. Wander around local markets or spoil yourself at a variety of other shopping outlets. Remember to stop by the historic Old Friday Mosque, one of the most important structures in the capital.
