Belko Air

Belko Air provides comfortable transportation between the airport and central locations in the city, like Kızılay, Sıhhiye, Ulus, AŞTİ, Gar and Pursaklar. You can use the 45 passenger buses 442/A and 442/K by getting on at the stops opposite the exits on the domestic arrivals floor and international arrivals floor.

Buses are equipped with internet, feature hostess services and take off every 30 minutes from 5 am till 12am and every hour from 12 am to 5 am. Taking a Belko Air bus to get to the city is an affordable option.  

EGO Buses

The Esenboğa Airport is accessible by bus line 442-3, which passes through AKM, Ankara Arena and Güvenpark. The 491 bus line provides transportation between the airport and Ulus and Sihhiye but it only operates 3 times a day during the week.

Taxi

Taking a taxi within the city is generally affordable since the distances are usually close to each other. But taking a taxi to the airport is a more expensive alternative because it is located 28 km away. You can try to negotiate with the taxi driver for a lower fee.

Personal Car

The Esenboğa Airport has two parking lots. There is a multi-story parking lot, which allows for short-term and long-term parking, and an outdoor parking lot, which only allows for short-term parking.

Airport Information

Esenboğa Airport is frequently used by government staff and therefore features many amenities. Those awaiting their flight in the domestic terminal can get a quick bite to eat or some coffee at Caffe Nero, Ankar Café, Bus Gate, or Bufe Ic Hat. If you prefer local Anatolian flavors head to Tadinda Anadolu. Bomonti Brasserie is ideal for those interested in international cuisine. This terminal also has fast food restaurants like Burger King.

If you’re traveling internationally, the departure and arrival terminals have many cafes, kiosks, and bars. You can also enjoy some tax-free shopping at Duty Free after you go through passport control. Both terminals have souvenir shops and kiosks that sell general items. 

For transportation to Adareil, you can fly to the Khartoum International Airport, which hosts regular flights to and from many destinations. The transportation options are extremely limited in Khartoum, the capital and second largest city of Sudan. In order to get to Adareil from the capital, you can take a taxi at the airport and go to the bus terminal that is only a few kilometers away. There you can take a bus to reach directly to Adareil. You can also take advantage of taking a taxi at Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil directly, but please keep in mind that this will be much more expensive compared to intercity bus services.

Taxi

Taxi is the first choice of visitors since there is no public transport from Khartoum International Airport to reach Adareil city center directly. You can arrive at the bus terminal in a very short time by taking a taxi from the airport, which is located in a very central area of the capital, and then you can take an intercity bus in the Adareil direction from the terminal. You can also prefer to reach Adareil directly by taxi. However, the taxi ride from Khartoum to Adareil would be a costly alternative. The taxi ride from the airport to Khartoum city center will cost around 20-30$.

Bus

You can go out of the airport terminal and take one of the local buses and minibusses passing by, so you can get to Khartoum city center cheaper. However, this may sound highly complicated to the visitors who are not familiar with the city because they may lose their sense of direction easily. Once you reach Khartoum city center by bus, you may need to take a bus or taxi once again to get to the bus terminal, where you will get on the bus to Adareil.

The bus ride in the city is often considered safe during the day, but you should be more careful about your safety at night. If your budget is not very limited, you can enjoy a fast and safe trip by choosing the taxi option instead of the bus ride.

Rent a car

After landing at Khartoum International Airport, you can also take advantage of renting a car to reach Adareil as another alternative. The passengers who would especially like to make a stop at different points on the road and make a flexible travel plan can rent a car in Khartoum to reach Adareil without thinking too much. When it comes to disadvantages of car rental option, one can say that the direction signs in Sudan are mostly very complicated and difficult to understand. If you have never been to the area before and if you are planning to travel by car for the first time, you are recommended to put car rental option aside and get on a bus to the terminal for bus transfer to Adareil.

Private Transfer Services

The use of private transfer service is not particularly common on this route. However, if you are traveling to Adareil for an event or organization, you can arrange a private transfer service vehicle for yourself by getting assistance from local officials and guides. The private transfer service, much more comfortable and safer than buses, will make your trip to Sudan much easier. You can take advantage of this service just to get to the bus terminal from Khartoum International Airport as well. To do so, you should inform the service company of your arrival time in advance and you may have to wait for a while in front of the terminal building. If you want to travel without waiting, you can take a taxi at the terminal exit of Khartoum International Airport.
