Getting here · Parking

Parking here costs nothing

The car parks sit directly in front of the terminals and there is no charge to use them. Nobody flying from Ras Al Khaimah has to price a week away against the cost of leaving the car behind.

Getting here

Where to leave the car

Departures and arrivals are separate buildings, each with parking in front of it. Drive to the one you actually need — there is no internal transfer between them.

DEP

Departure Terminal parking

For anyone flying out, and for the driver seeing them off. The mosque beside the departure car park is open to anyone waiting with a passenger.
ARR

Arrival Terminal parking

For meeting a flight. Park and walk in rather than circling the forecourt — passport control, baggage reclaim and customs all sit between touchdown and the arrivals door.
SET

Setting down at the kerb

The forecourt in front of each terminal is for dropping off and picking up. If the flight has not landed yet, use the car park.
POL

Policed around the clock

Airport police are on the site 24 hours a day. Lost property, including anything left in a vehicle or a trolley, goes to the Duty Officer at the Departure Terminal.

Meeting a flight

Meeting an arriving flight

The gap between the wheels touching and a passenger walking out of the arrivals hall is longer than most people expect. A few habits make the wait shorter.

Live arrivals board
  • Check the live arrivals board before you leave home rather than working from the time on the ticket — the board carries the actual landing time.
  • Once the flight is on the ground, allow for passport control, the baggage belt and customs before anyone appears at the door.
  • Park and wait inside or in the car; the forecourt is not a waiting area.
  • Anything left behind on board or in the terminal is handled by the Duty Officer at the Departure Terminal.

Beyond 24 hours

Leaving the car for more than 24 hours

A vehicle left at the airport beyond 24 hours needs a parking pass. It is one of the passes issued by the airport's Public Relations Office, and it is much easier to arrange before you fly than from the other end of a trip.

  1. 01Contact the Public Relations Office in advance with your travel dates and the vehicle details.
  2. 02The office works Sunday to Thursday 08:00–23:00 and Saturday 08:00–14:00. It is closed on Fridays and public holidays.
  3. 03Outside those hours the Airport Duty Officer handles pass requests on the after-hours line listed here.
  4. 04Requirements and any fee for the parking pass are not published — confirm both when you call.

Parking arrangements are the airport's own and can change. Nothing on this page reserves a space.

Assistance

If someone in the car needs help

Both terminals have wheelchairs, an ambu-lift and accessible toilets, and a nurse is on duty at the airport. Tell the airline when you book, then call the airport before you travel so the terminal team knows what is coming.

Designated accessible bays and any concession attached to them have not been published. Call ahead and the airport will confirm what is available on the day.
