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.

This remarkable city is also developing at an incredible pace, becoming one of the fastest-growing cities in the Gulf region.
Home to the Educational City, museums, cultural attractions and much more, Doha is a surprising destination that is full of interesting sights and activities.
Dominated by its crescent-shaped bay, Doha was originally a collection of fishing and pearl-diving villages. Today, its skyline rivals that of any international destination worldwide. A flight to Doha with Qatar Airways gives you a chance to discover this fascinating city for yourself.
Tourist attractions
Doha has a wonderful selection of museums, including the Msheireb Enrichment Centre. This is a barge docked at the Doha Corniche, close to one of the city's oldest landmarks, the Sheraton Hotel. It holds exhibits that chart the country’s historic background as well as its continuing plans for the future.
The Mathaf Arab Museum of Modern Art has recently opened and is home to a collection of modern art from across the Arab world.
The Al Koot Fort was built in 1880, and is a popular photographic stop for tourists visiting Souq Waqif – a charming traditional market and the social heart of the city. The Clock Tower is next to the Grand Mosque, and because of its hilltop position it offers panoramic views of Doha and the Corniche.
Doha Heritage Village is located along the Corniche in Al Rumeilia Park, and is based on a traditional Qatari village.
