Hamad International Airport prepares to welcome passengers following Eid Al Adha and Hajj Season

As residents and visitors arrive in the State of Qatar following the Eid Al Adha holidays and Hajj season, Hamad International Airport has operational measures in place to support a smooth arrivals experience.

Immigration
Eligible passengers are encouraged to use the Scan & Go with E-gates in the arrival immigration hall for faster processing, with a minimum height requirement of 130cm.

Baggage
Passengers collecting oversized or irregularly shaped baggage, including wheelchairs and baby strollers, are advised that these items will arrive separately on dedicated reclaim belts A and B.

Pilgrims returning from Hajj with checked Zamzam water may collect it from the designated reclaim belts, where staff will be available to assist.
Passengers are encouraged to securely pack fragile items in hard-shell luggage where possible, verify ownership of their luggage before leaving the baggage reclaim area, and retain baggage tags until they reach their residence.

Support is available through the Baggage Services Office located within the Arrivals Hall.

Ground Transport
Passengers arriving at Hamad International Airport have access to a range of convenient transport options connecting the airport to destinations across Doha.
The bus pavilion and taxi pavilion are located on either side of the Arrivals Hall.

Authorised ride-share services, including Uber, Badrgo, and Ryde, are available from the designated ride-share pick-up area located at the multi-level parking facility, offering passengers convenient and reliable transport options from the airport.

The Doha Metro station is located within a short indoor walking distance from the terminal. Passengers are encouraged to refer to the Doha Metro website for updated service timings.

Car rental, limousine, and valet services are available within the terminal, with valet offered at both Departures and Arrivals as a convenient option for accessing the terminal.

Passenger Pick-up
Drivers collecting arriving passengers are advised to use the airport parking facilities during peak arrival periods. Vehicles should not be left unattended outside the terminal, as this may cause congestion and may result in towing.
