Why are there few people working at the check-in desks? There are a whole bunch of check-in counters, and there are 3 staff, and even slow workers. Due to the slow work of the staff at the check-in, flights are delayed. The Ural ones arrived on time. The flight (the landing itself) was delayed by 1.5 hours, the crew learned that the receiving side did not adjust the ramp for 40 minutes, but all because they work slowly in Dubai, do not fit in time, and ordinary people suffer.

The airport is small, but check-in and passport control are quick. It's easy to navigate. A little Duty-free, you won't get around much. Only the main brands of cosmetics, appliances, sweets and cigarettes. A large selection of alcohol. Jewelry made of Emirati gold is also sold. From food: vending machines, McDonald's, Heineken beer and Costa.

It's creepy, we were in a flood in March, a lot of planes were delayed, we got to the airport, we monitored the schedule very carefully, our flight was not, in general, there were no announcements on the loudspeaker at all, although we checked in. We saw by chance on the scoreboard in the smoking room that our flight was flying in 3.2.1…
Miraculously, they managed to do it. Disgusting! Dubai has disappointed, in emergency situations you are one on one, with the elements, the problem and the ID.

The airport is simpler than in the city of Dubai itself. The main thing is that it is located on the outskirts of a 2-3 hour drive to Sharjah /Dubai due to traffic jams. It is better not to fly to it if you have a choice, you will give the difference in tickets by taxi

The airport is quite large, but now the very empty control is very fast. Of the available food, this is McDonald's McDonald's, in principle, more or less duty free in general, it is bad enough that you can't actually find any exclusive goods there that characterize the Arab Emirates

There is a large airport, almost no one inside, there are duty free and McDonald's on the 2nd floor. But it is very far from Sharjah. We drove from Sharjah to the airport from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., got into a space traffic jam. The price tag for a one-way taxi is 6,500 rubles. The prices of duty free are more expensive than in Yekaterinburg

The new airport in Dubai is Al Maktoum. Due to the low workload, there are free parking lots, the absence of crowds of passengers. A fairly simple, unassuming design. But the sparseness adds advantages.
It has a McDonald's, a duty-free trade area, a window with staff for tax free registration (unlike vending machines everywhere installed in Dubai for tax free refunds). However, there are no business halls operating under loyalty programs with Russian banks.

A small airport is located far from the city, so it's better if you go from here to live somewhere in Dubai Marina or neighboring areas, get closer. And so, everything you need is here, but without the luxuries and a bunch of boutiques. By the way, the price for souvenir chocolate is lower than in the Dubai Mall.

A small airport. There are no crowds of passengers, as in the main. The navigation is good. I was surprised, of course, with how easy it is to get inside... No detectors, no security tapes, no guards... Border control is also fast. You can even go through the vending machines by scanning your passport and without a stamp in it.

A new modern airport, where flights from Russia mainly arrive at the moment. There are practically no people in between flights. Everything is clean. Friendly staff. Customs can be passed without contact with customs officers - by scanning the passport if the retina of the eye has been removed. At the exit from the arrival area, there is a shop where you can buy bus and subway travel cards. The cost of the card is 25 dirhams. During the daytime, a bus runs every half hour to the Expo 2020 metro station, there is no problem to leave. There are not many food outlets, there is a Costa coffee shop and vending machines with drinks.

We were traveling by bus from the plane, when passing through passport control, everyone is shoved into one queue (where you will not pass if you arrived in Dubai 1 time), immediately go to the middle windows, and go to the rightmost ones if you are 2 or more times in Dubai. When I left, the pleasant airport staff, the man who makes out the taxi, told many interesting stories.

Clean, clear navigation, but there are nuances: a giant territory (actually, like Dubai itself: until you get from point A to point B, you will get tired). In the Arrivals sector, there is no infrastructure at all, only a taxi, boarding a bus, several metal rows of chairs and one shop. The Departures sector is a little more fun: there is a duty free with souvenirs and sweets, there is McDonald's and a coffee shop. I didn't find a business lounge. And I haven't seen a smoking place. In general, the airport is extremely unpopular among tourists from European countries, the taxi driver asked several times if we had definitely not confused the airport. In fact, you can even play football inside - no one but a meager handful of people from the charter. Inside, near the gate, there are also plenty of places to sit.

I recently traveled through Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and was very pleased with my experience. The airport impresses with its modern terminals, which provide passengers with many amenities, including restaurants, cafes and shops.
The airport staff was very attentive and friendly, and they tried to help us with any questions. Thanks to the good organization and structure of the airport, we easily found the right terminal and took off on time.
I also appreciated the convenient location of the airport, which allowed us to quickly get to our hotel in the city center. Metro, buses and taxis were easily accessible at the airport, which made our trip very convenient.
Finally, I want to mention the security of Al Maktoum Airport. It has a high level of security and we felt safe throughout our journey.
Overall, I am very happy with my experience at Al Maktoum International Airport. It provides a high level of service, convenient location and security, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to visit Dubai.

The downside is the lack of a subway, which you have to take the slow F55 bus to the Dubai Expo 2020 station.
There is a relatively small DityFree.

There are comfortable rest rooms at the airport, and benches allow you to lie down, you can sleep for a while. There are European—style outlets, drinking water fountains, several duty-free shops and coffee machines in the clean zone. The inspection is very loyal, carry at least one and a half liters of water, they do not take it away

A convenient airport, everything is clear and understandable. The responsive airport staff helped to figure out where and how to get there. I especially want to evaluate the currency exchange office. They exchanged my money for dirhams with the most favorable rate, completely without commission, which surprised me very much. They helped to issue a travel card with which the message of public transport moves. Buses from the airport run frequently. A huge plus is that at the airport they immediately distribute SIM cards of the local network with the Internet for a day, which helped a lot, there is also an opportunity to replenish the SIM card and choose a tariff convenient for you. Registration is fast, everything is simple and clear. I spent more than 12 hours at the airport waiting for my flight and I can say that this is the most calm and convenient airport I have been to. Unless taxi drivers are very annoying.

Everything is decent inside the airport. There are individuals of Central Asian appearance who are trying to transfer a laptop to tourists from Russia for transportation in a hand-held treasure. Be responsible and careful! I flew with Victory, I do not know who they hire for luggage, but in fact a suitcase with a broken handle arrived and it was clear that they either walked or jumped on them. Since there is apparently no choice, the Victory company does not care (economies of scale), I strongly advise you not to fly with decent luggage and carry valuables in your luggage. Then fly through the central airport.
