1. Before You Land: Completing the Landing Card

• During your flight, you will likely receive a landing card to fill out for each passenger.
• Bring a pen as not all airlines provide one.
• If you don’t get a card on the plane, you’ll receive one at the airport.

2. Visa Purchase: Avoid Overpaying!

• Upon arrival, walk down the corridor until you reach an area with staff shouting flight details. Ignore them and head to the bank desks on your right.
• Purchase your visa here for $25 USD per passenger. Payments are accepted in USD, GBP, or EUR, with change available if needed.
• The bank staff will stamp your passport with the visa quickly and easily.
• Important: Do not buy your visa from staff calling out to you—they charge extra!

3. Passport Control: The Next Step

• Proceed to passport control, where you’ll hand over your passport and landing card for verification.

4. Baggage Claim: Collecting Your Bags

• After passport control, take the escalator to the baggage area. Check the screens for your flight’s belt number.
• Trolleys are available, but if staff offer to assist, politely say “La Shokran” (No, thank you) unless you plan to tip.
• Amenities in this area include:
  • Toilets
  • A smoking room
  • A duty-free shop

5. Exit Security Check: Final Steps

• Your bags will undergo a final security screening before exiting the airport.
• Tips for Compliance:
  • Alcohol Limit: 1 liter per passenger.
  • Prescription Medication: Keep in labeled packaging or bring a prescription.
  • Drones: Not allowed.

6. Head Outside: Start Your Vacation!

• Once you clear security, head outside to find transportation options, including taxis and pre-arranged transfers.
