Abu Dhabi International (AUH) functions as the emirate’s primary international gateway and a regional hub, serving both full-service carriers—most notably Etihad—and a mix of Middle Eastern and international airlines. Flights here can be competitively priced compared with nearby Dubai for certain routes, though fares vary by season. The airport sits about 30–35 km from Abu Dhabi city centre; taxi rides usually take 30–45 minutes and can cost roughly AED 80–120, while express buses take around 45–60 minutes for a lower fare. On the plus side AUH is modern and well-equipped with lounges and transit facilities; on the downside transfers to the city can be longer and slightly more costly than from closer airports, so allow extra ground time for onward connections.
Fly direct from Abu Dhabi to Nairobi for the fastest, most convenient way to reach Kenya’s vibrant capital—fewer hassles, quicker arrival, and more time to enjoy the city. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the convenience.
Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the country’s primary international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers like Kenya Airways and many international airlines, alongside Wilson Airport (WIL), a smaller domestic and charter facility often used for regional flights and safaris. Fares to NBO can be mid-to-premium depending on carrier and season, while WIL typically hosts lower-cost regional operators. Jomo Kenyatta sits about 15–20 km from the city center with road transfers taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based rides cost roughly USD 8–25, and airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Wilson is closer to downtown (about 5–10 km) with short taxi rides. Pros: NBO offers extensive international connections and full services; cons: congestion and variable transfer times. WIL’s advantage is proximity and quick regional connections, though it’s limited in international amenities.
