Flying from Maldives
The islands of the Maldives are one of the world’s most popular luxury destinations. As befits such a reputation, the entry and exit point for the islands is just as luxurious as its resorts.
Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (also known as Malé International Airport) puts the emphasis very much on the passenger experience from the moment you walk through the terminal doors.
Surrounded by brilliant blue water and clear skies, this has to be one of the most beautiful settings for an airport, and passengers flying from the Maldives with Qatar Airways will have a lasting memory of this tropical paradise as they take off.
Parking and transportation
Unlike many other airports, the most common form of transport between the airport and the main city of Malé is by speedboat.
Local water taxis (known as dhonis) also transport passengers. As the airport is located on its own island with no land-based connections to the capital, there are no car parking facilities.
Seaplane connections transfer passengers from the outlying islands and resorts to the airport.
Arriving at Ibrahim Nasir International Airport
Passengers flying from the Maldives with Qatar Airways will depart from the International terminal.
The airport is relatively small in comparison to many other international air travel hubs, so finding your way around should be quite easy. A lounge area is available for passengers to relax in while they wait for their flights.
Facilities and amenities
Ibrahim Nasir International Airport has good facilities for such a proportionally small location, including a range of retail outlets selling local goods (great for those last-minute souvenirs) as well as luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery.
Free Internet kiosks are located at the Duty Free area and at Departure Gates 1,2 and 3, and a prayer room is also available. There are two mosques five minutes’ walk from the airport.

Fly to Munich with Qatar Airways and discover its unique personality for yourself.
Tourist attractions
Bavaria’s greatest asset has to be its stunning countryside, and the towering Alps create a magnificent backdrop to this stunning city. The main attraction in the city has to be the Residenzmuseum, home to Bavaria's Wittelsbach rulers from 1508 until 1914.
Tours start in the Grottenhof or Grotto Court with its spectacular Perseus Fountain, and take you through a guided tour of 90 rooms filled with some of Germany’s treasures.
Munich was home to Germany’s great architecture for centuries, and as such has become a city of palaces. The most popular is Schloss Nymphenburg, a wonderful Baroque palace set in acres of fabulously manicured gardens.
Once the home of the Bavarian kings, it is now open to the public and houses several museums including the Marstallmuseum, the Museum Mensch und Natur, the Erwin von Kreibig-Museum, and the Porzellanmuseum München.
