İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport Prayer Rooms (ADB): 4 Locations & Parking

İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) has four published prayer-room locations across its domestic and international terminals. The airport lists one room on the land side and one on the air side of each terminal, so the right place depends on whether you are arriving, departing, or already past security.[1]

Quick answer: At the domestic terminal, the land-side prayer room is on the arrivals floor beside the TAV Lost & Found Office; the air-side room is on the departures floor after the second security checkpoint in the Gates 121–122 area. At the international terminal, the land-side room is on the departures floor above the passport cabins; the air-side room is upstairs on the left after the passport cabins, beside the Primeclass Lounge.[1] Check your terminal and security status first, then use the location that matches your route.

The four official prayer-room locations at ADB

The airport publishes a more precise location list than many airports. Use the table below as a starting point, but recheck signage on the day you fly because construction, security procedures, and gate layouts can change.

Your terminal and travel stage	Official location	What to do next
Domestic terminal, before security	Arrivals floor, next to the TAV Lost & Found Office	Follow arrivals-level signs and ask the information desk if the office layout has changed.
Domestic terminal, after security	Departures floor, after the second security checkpoint, Gates 121–122 long-haul flight area	Do not leave the secure area without first checking your gate and boarding time.
International terminal, before security	Departures floor, upper floor of the passport cabins	Confirm you are in the international terminal before going upstairs.
International terminal, after passport control	Departures floor, upper floor on the left after passport cabins, next to Primeclass Lounge	Ask staff for the current route if your gate is far from the passport-control area.

The airport describes these as prayer rooms rather than publishing a separate mosque or masjid map. The locations are useful because they distinguish the public side from the secure side of each terminal.[1]

Start with your terminal and security status

The most common mistake is looking for the correct room in the wrong part of the airport. Before you walk, identify all three of the following.

Terminal: Are you using the domestic or international terminal?
Travel stage: Are you arriving, checking in, or departing?
Security status: Are you still on the public side, or have you passed the second security checkpoint or passport control?

Use this question at an information desk if you need help:

“I am in the [domestic / international] terminal and I am [before security / after security / after passport control]. Where is the nearest prayer room from here?”

This wording gives staff the information needed to direct you to the correct of the four published locations. It is safer than relying on an old video or map pin that may not show the current security boundary.

Domestic terminal: before and after security

For domestic passengers who have not entered the secure departure area, the airport places the land-side room on the arrivals floor beside the TAV Lost & Found Office.[1] This can also be a practical starting point for someone meeting a traveler, but access rules may change, so ask staff before making a special trip from outside the terminal.

For domestic departures, the airport publishes a separate room after the second security checkpoint on the departures floor, in the 121–122 long-haul gate area.[1] Once you have passed through security, check the flight information display and boarding time before walking toward the room. The airport announced a Silent Airport concept in July 2026, meaning routine flight announcements are not made; passengers should follow terminal Flight Information Display Screens (FIDS) for flight updates.[3]

International terminal: before passport control and after it

The international terminal has one land-side and one air-side location. The land-side room is on the departures floor, on the upper floor of the passport cabins.[1] This is the option to ask about if you are checking in internationally and have not yet completed passport control.

After passport control, the airport directs passengers to an upper-floor prayer room on the left-hand side, next to the Primeclass Lounge.[1] This is inside the departure process, so passengers should make sure they have enough time to return to their gate. If a staff member gives a different route on the day, follow current airport instructions.

Driving and parking before you enter the terminal

The official parking overview says that payment points are located at pedestrian entrances on the Domestic Terminal Departure Level and the International Terminal Arrival Level.[2] It also describes a four-storey multi-storey car park close to the international terminal, with capacity for 2,237 cars.[2]

Parking need	Official information	Practical travel step
You need the domestic terminal	Domestic-terminal payment points are at pedestrian entrances on the departure level.[2]	Park only in an authorised area, note your location, and enter the terminal before looking for the land-side or air-side prayer room.
You need the international terminal	International-terminal payment points are at pedestrian entrances on the arrival level; a multi-storey car park is close to the international terminal.[2]	Confirm whether you need the pre-passport-control or post-passport-control room before choosing your route.
You want current prices or availability	The airport provides a parking calculator and subscription information.[2]	Check the official parking page rather than relying on a price in a travel blog.

This guide does not quote parking prices because fees and conditions can change. The airport says parking reservations are not offered and service is provided on a first-come, first-served basis.[1]

Wudu and ablution: ask before you assume

The official English page gives exact prayer-room locations but does not describe wudu or ablution facilities for every room.[1] Do not assume that all four rooms have the same wash facilities. Ask a member of staff or the information desk:

“Is there a wudu or ablution area close to the prayer room in this terminal?”

That question is more reliable than using an old social post, especially if a room is temporarily closed or its entrance route has changed.

A simple route when time is short

If boarding time is close, use this order.

Open your airline app and check the terminal, gate, and boarding time.
Check whether you are still before security or passport control.
Match your position to one of the four official locations above.
Ask an information desk or member of staff for the current route rather than leaving a secure area unnecessarily.
Return to the FIDS and verify your gate again before continuing to board.[3]
