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.

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.
Washington D.C. is the epicentre of American history and government, offering a wealth of iconic monuments and world-class museums. This powerful capital city is the heart of the U.S., inviting you to explore its vast cultural and political landscape. You can easily discover the city's key sights along the expansive National Mall, 'America's Front Lawn', which stretches from the U.S. Capitol Building to the dignified Lincoln Memorial. The 59-hectare space is lined with the numerous, free-to-enter Smithsonian museums, which house phenomenal collections. You should visit the National Air and Space Museum to chronicle the history of flight, or journey through the vast array of specimens at the National Museum of Natural History.
Along the Mall, you will find the towering Washington Monument, a 555-foot obelisk honouring the nation's first president. Take time to reflect at the stirring war memorials, including the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial and the poignant Vietnam Veterans Memorial. For political landmarks, view the White House, the official home of the President, and the majestic U.S. Capitol Building, home to Congress. The city’s distinct, beautiful architecture blends historic buildings with modern infrastructure, creating a truly unique metropolis. For a memorable experience, visiting the Tidal Basin, particularly during the beautiful annual cherry blossom season, is highly recommended. You can also explore the captivating and interactive exhibits at the popular International Spy Museum.
