Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (IKA)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board. Spending the night at the airport

Tehran's airport is almost constantly busy and is open 24 hours a day. Spending the night here may be an option if you have a long layover or an early flight and want to rest without leaving the premises. While it is generally safe, you should always take care of your personal belongings and be aware of your surroundings.

Where to rest: You can find recliners next to the boarding gates, the baggage claim area and the duty-free shops. However, it's best to bring a sleeping bag in case you have to sleep on the floor. Another option is to use one of the VIP lounges, which are open 24 hours a day, but there is a fee for access. Beyond that, there are two hotels across the street from the terminal for a better night's sleep.

Baggage: There is no left-luggage service at this airport.

Eating and drinking: Be sure to bring food and drink with you, as options are limited overnight.

Wi-Fi: Access is free for 2 hours.

Other services available around the clock: Shops, ATMs, prayer rooms.
