Search Flights from Taif to Tripoli

Buses are the most convenient option that you can choose to reach the airport from Taif city center. You can also get to the airport by taxi or by renting a car from the city center.

Bus

Direct buses to the airport depart from Al Taif Station in Taif Al Faisaliah. Local bus services operated by SAPTCO depart on short intervals. According to the current information in SAPTCO's web site the fare you will pay for this trip, which is about 30 kilometers, is 15 Saudi Riyals and it takes about 1 hour. You can make your reservation at the official website of SAPTCO or you can get your ticket from the sales points. It is also possible to buy tickets from almost every stop.

Taxi

You must absolutely have an agreement with the driver about the fare before you start your journey, if you are taking a taxi without a taximeter. Otherwise, you can pay really high fares. Taxis are the least preferred means of transportation by visitors of Taif, where there is not much alternatives in terms of transportation in the city.

Taxi fares are more expensive than other means of transportation. This is why we recommend you take advantage of the bus or car rental service instead of taxis. You should be careful about the taxi you take. In Taif, limousine taxis, for example, are also available and they are much more expensive than regular taxis.

Car Rental

There are car rental companies located in the city as well as in Taif Airport. Car rental companies are as popular as local buses, as the oil prices here are low. In additions, there are extremely modern highways in Taif that has links to all nearby cities. You can go to the airport with your vehicle rented from Taif city and deliver it to the same car rental company in the terminal.

Airport Information

Taif Airport, 70 kilometers from Mecca and 30 kilometers from Taif city center, is an airport suitable for international and domestic flights. You will not find much shops and similar entertainment areas at Taif Airport, which is smaller than other airports in Saudi Arabia with regard to area and capacity.

Taif Airport is of great importance for the history of Saudi aviation. The first one to land this airport was Ibn Saud, the founder of the kingdom. It is an airport used both for military and public purposes.

In the terminal you can find a small parking area for cars and the offices of most preferred car rental companies throughout Saudi Arabia. You can also see bus stops and taxi stands, from where you can take a bus or taxi to Taif city center, at a short distance from the terminal exit.

The airport interior design is not too complicated as there is not much to do inside the airport. Several major airline companies, including Turkish Airlines, organize flights to Taif Airport.

Tripoli International Airport is not close to the city center. There is also no public transport from the airport. For this reason, you may want to ask to be picked up from the airport if you know someone in Tripoli. If you do not have someone who can pick you up, you can rent a car or take a taxi. Most of the hotels also offer airport shuttle service for extra fee.

Taxi

It is possible to reach the Tripoli city center in an average of 30 minutes by taking a taxi from the front of the airport. However, you should definitely agree with the taxi drivers about where you will go and negotiate the fare.

Car Rental

If you rent a car, you must go straight north on Airport Hwy to get to the city center from the airport. The journey takes about half an hour. Be careful especially at night when driving in the countryside, because many animals such as camel, cow, and sheep can come out on the way.

Hotel Shuttle

Almost all of the limited number of accommodation centers in the city offer airport shuttle service. You can request a shuttle service to the airport in advance. Just remember that there is another airport in the city and make sure that your hotel understands which airport you will be going to.
