Flying from Dammam to Manila: FAQs
Where to stay in Manila?
Manila mixes the modern and historical, making for a unique destination. For the modern, try Manila City for access to the most popular sites. For the historic, it has to be the colonial walled city of Intramuros.
How far is the airport from central Manila?
The airport is eight miles (12 km) from the city centre, with local taxi or Etihad airport transfer the best ways to reach downtown Manila. Duration can depend on traffic but usually takes around half an hour. It’s worth keeping an eye out for the regulated yellow taxis or using an app like Grab to hire a private vehicle. White taxis can be cheaper but are usually unregulated.
Top tips for Dammam to Manila
Visit historic Intramuros
Take a walk or travel in a horse-drawn carriage around the historic Intramuros district. This is Manila’s 16th century old town, built by the city’s Spanish colonial rulers. Its cobblestone streets are lined with elegant, shuttered buildings. The atmosphere feels very different to Dammam’s modern cityscape.
Explore the night markets
Manila has several busy night markets. You can shop in comfort once the heat of the day has faded for clothes, souvenirs and food. Look out for the fish stalls with their colourful produce caught fresh from Manila’s harbour, or enjoy a tasty snack at the hot food stalls. If you want to sample the cuisine food before you go, take a trip to Dammam’s Filipino Market.
