Multi-City Flights to South Africa
Every holiday starts with a flight and there are plenty of options for you to consider when you travel to South Africa. The most popular choice is to complement a South African holiday with some time in the Middle East.
Dubai
Which airlines fly to South Africa via Dubai: Emirates
Break up your journey and discover Dubai. Soaring skyscrapers, sensational shopping and seven-star hotels – Dubai is evolving at breath-taking speed. But there’s more to this city than meets the eye – including a rich culture, bursting with bustling souks and delicious cuisine.
Doha
Which airlines fly to South Africa via Doha: Qatar Airways
Doha is a great contrast against Cape Town and Johannesburg. Nestled on the coast of the Persian Gulf, in Qatar's capital you can wander through the incredible Souq Waqif, take a look at the world-class Museum of Islamic Art or indulge in a tour of the city developing right before your eyes.
Istanbul
Which airlines fly to South Africa via Istanbul: Turkish Airlines
Packed with culture, history and energy, this Turkish city is a great stopover choice en route to South Africa. Our favourite things to do in Istanbul (formerly known as Constantinople) include visiting the beautiful Hagia Sofia building – once a church and mosque, and now a museum – shopping in the Grand Bazaar and sampling Turkish tea and kebabs.
Abu Dhabi
Which airlines fly to Johannesburg via Abu Dhabi: Etihad Airways
Abu Dhabi, the largest of the Arab Emirates, offers travellers an experience in extreme luxury complemented by tradition. The desert oasis is a buzzing metropolis of cultural gems, pristine beaches, luxurious hotels, opulent mosques and exotic markets. However, the modern capital of the UAE maintains a more distinctly Arabian ambiance than that of glamorous Dubai.
