Our tip for a cheap street bistro

If you're facing the terminal from the outside, head left through the tourist agency bus parking lot (past the section where domestic flights to Rodrigues are handled) and then up the sidewalk to the large parking lot.

In front of the public transport stop here you will find a very cheap bistro with local cuisine, mainly used by airport staff.

You can easily eat here from around 100 mur.

Luggage storage

There are no luggage lockers or traditional luggage storage at the airport.

ATMs and currency exchange

There are several currency exchange offices in the arrivals hall, but they usually offer a less favourable exchange rate than your bank or Revolut.

The public area of the airport is also equipped with ATMs from the following banks:

• ABSA Bank
• MCB
• SBM

In most cases, foreign card withdrawals are charged at 50 mur or 75 mur.

ATMs can also be found in the transit area by the baggage claim and then outside the arrivals hall.
