Its compact terminal and desert setting make it a straightforward gateway to the Béchar region and the western Sahara.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know that check-in often opens only a couple of hours before departure, so arriving too early means waiting in a very basic terminal; confirm your flight by phone or with the airline the day before, especially for domestic schedules that can shift.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the main way to get to and from CBH; agree on the fare before leaving the airport or arrange a transfer through your hotel. There is no rail link, and public buses are not dependable for flight connections, so allow extra time by road. If you are renting a car, book it in advance because on-site rental availability is limited.
