Tips for travelers at BUZ
BUZ is compact, so don't expect massive terminal waits or confusing layouts — you'll clear everything fast. The airport sits about 8 km from the city center, and taxis are your most reliable option since public transit links are limited. Book your taxi in advance if you're catching an early morning flight, because the city is quiet before dawn. The Gulf heat is serious from June through September, so if you're arriving on a tight connection via Dubai, build in buffer time — delays in summer are common across the region. Iranian rials are your only practical currency inside the terminal, so sort cash before you arrive.
