Flights to Phnom Penh (PNH)

Emirates flights to Cambodia land at Phnom Penh International Airport with a stop in Singapore on the way. 

Cambodia’s capital city sits on the bank of three rivers—the Mekong, the Bassac and the Tonlé Sap. For many people, it’s the gateway to the beaches of the southern coast and the fascinating temple complex of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap. 

Once the capital of the powerful Khmer Kingdom of Angkor, the area has several captivating temple ruins include Bayon Temple, Prasat Preah Khan and Ta Prohm Temple with its moss-covered walls and roof smothered in giant tree roots.  

Explore Phnom Penh’s historical and architectural marvels, like the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, with beautiful ornate roofs and a floor of gleaming sliver. It houses an abundance of Khmer cultural treasures and many Buddha statues, including ones in emerald and solid gold. 

Near the Royal Palace grounds, the National Museum of Cambodia holds relics, sculpture and artifacts of Cambodia’s history, with collections from the 4th to 14th century pre- and post-Angkor periods. You can also enjoy captivating evening performances of Cambodian dances in the museum’s beautiful gardens.   

Shopping in Phnom Penh means exploring the many markets across the city, like Phsar Thmei (Central Market) and Tuol Tompoung, bursting with stacks of fabrics, produce, snacks and treasures like carvings, jewelery, artwork, gems and antiques.  

Savor delicious Khmer cooking, including Cambodia’s national dish, amok—a fragrant coconut fish curry with kroeung (a Cambodian herb mix of mainly lemongrass and spiced paste) steamed in banana leaves. Alongside Cambodian restaurants and noodle houses where you can get some breakfast nom banh chok (Khmer noodles), you’ll find dining in Phnom Penh offers an increasing number of options.
