Training venue

Mombasa offers a range of hotels from international-standard beach resorts in Nyali and Diani to business-class properties on Mombasa Island, many of which have conference and training facilities. Delegates should confirm venue AV equipment and room layout in advance, as standards vary.

Getting there

No direct flights from Saudi Arabia to Mombasa were confirmed in the search results. Typical routings are connecting via Jeddah (JED) or Riyadh (RUH), with carriers including Saudia, Kenya Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, Emirates, Air Arabia, and Flydubai; published journey times for Jeddah–Mombasa are about 7h 30m for the fastest options and longer for indirect itineraries. The arrival airport is Mombasa Moi International Airport (MBA).

Visa

Kenya replaced traditional visas with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) from January 2024. Most non-African nationals must apply via etakenya.go.ke at least 7 days before travel (~USD 32–34); many African nationals are exempt following the May 2025 expansion. Confirm your specific eligibility on the official eTA portal.

Safety

Mombasa is generally welcoming to visitors, but delegates should use licensed taxis or rideshare apps rather than informal transport, especially after dark. Keep valuables discreet, stay aware in crowded market areas, and carry a copy of your passport rather than the original.
