Riyadh is served mainly by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), a large international hub handling most long-haul and regional flights and typically used by full-service carriers as well as several Gulf and international airlines. Located about 40–45 km north of the city center, transfers can take 30–60 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with fares generally higher than local public options; planned metro and public bus links can alter travel times. The airport offers wide-ranging passenger facilities, lounges, and international connections, though distances between terminals can be significant and surface transport costs are often above average. For low-cost or domestic trips, Riyadh’s airports can be less budget-focused compared with major regional low-cost bases.
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s main international gateway and typically functions as East Africa’s primary long‑haul hub, serving full‑service carriers like Kenya Airways alongside a mix of regional and international airlines. Located about 15 km southeast of the city centre, travel times can vary from 25–50 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common and fares usually range from modest local taxi rates to mid‑range shuttle prices. The airport offers extensive passenger amenities and connections but can be busy at peak hours, so allow extra time. For budget-conscious flyers, Wilson Airport (WIL) near the city’s south is primarily a domestic and regional light aircraft base used by charter and scheduled domestic carriers; it’s typically 5–10 minutes from central Nairobi by car, with lower fares but fewer facilities and limited international options.
