Less clean and organized than T3. Also traffic on the entrance to T1 is crazy. The taxi drivers (non-Yango/Careem/Uber) are very annoying as you get asked if you need a cab 10 times on the way to your cab pickup area.

Crowded. If you come by car, there are convenient paid parking lots, but the price bites, the car was in the parking lot for about 20 minutes and paid 30 dirhams. Clear pointers, clear lining.

The airport has clear, transparent navigation. There are pointers everywhere and it's impossible to get confused. There is a small subway to the gates, but everything is comfortable, the staff make sure that an adequate number of people enter each car. Customs generally passes quickly and always without problems! The airport is convenient because it is located right in the city and you can get somewhere much faster.

Everything passes quickly. Check in, check in your luggage, automatic passport control, he recognizes you in person, almost like a smile) Large duty-free, cool business halls. Where you can have a delicious snack and drink, everything is free, unlike similar halls in Moscow

There is no cheap wine for $16 in dutik. You can get a little confused while going to 32 gates. Long queues. Collective farm nurses. Al Maktoum is better, even if it is further away geographically!

There is a huge airport, trains run between the terminals, everything is done clearly. When purchasing tickets, be sure to check the departure terminal to arrive at the right place. I was surprised that there is no security check at the entrance to the terminal.

Everything would be fine, but it's a long time to stand at the check-in, even taking into account the checked flight and baggage. It is better to arrive in advance, there is a risk of getting into trouble. But.... the staff at the second registration desk even monitors this, helps with urgent registration. But it's better not to take any chances, 2.5 hours to have before landing.

Big airport, lots of people. The toilets are oddly clean. It was hard to find seats in the cafe, so I had to stand and wait, but I found free seats in the waiting room quickly.

A large waiting room. Lots of places. Friendly staff. We missed the whole plane so quickly that I didn't have time to blink. And yet! Very clean! There's even a clean carpet on the floor.

After a long flight, we are finally in the sky above Dubai airport in the UAE. Flying over the city, our airliner smoothly lands on the runway. Transfer to the bus and we are at the airport terminal. We walk down a fairly long corridor and enter the waiting room. And to our surprise, we are greeted by representatives of the hotel where we will be staying. We are waiting for all our tourists and moving by electric train to another hall. Passenger check-in hall. Thousands of air passengers from all over the world. We pass through the turnstiles for border and customs control. We are quickly processed and now we are legally in the UAE. The airport is huge. Every three minutes, a new flight lands with guests from Dubai. Comfort in the halls and at the checkpoint. Well done, Arabs. Everything is great!

In general, the terminal is good, but in my opinion, navigation is not very convenient. Upon arrival, you need to take the internal subway between the arrival terminal and the baggage claim building. If you get confused for the first time, you need to clarify if you know the language well. Back in the same order, first the customs, then the subway to the storage unit. It is very good that there is free wi-fi.

A standard airport. During rush hour, there is a heavy load, there are no places to wait before registration, there are no information stands with up-to-date information on the movement of the internal tram, crossings, etc. The first time is difficult, the second time everything is clear and the passage is fast.

There are a lot of signs at the airport, signs in English, and a lot of staff, so it's impossible to get lost. To pass through passport control, you need to take a ride on the monorail. The airport staff monitors the safety of passengers. Overall, I liked everything. The airport is clean and spacious

A huge international airport. Even without knowing a language other than Russian, everything is intuitive. Baggage collection and customs clearance were quick, and there were no problems anywhere.

Terminal 1. It was for the first time. The entrance to the airport is directly from the subway. It's simple, informative, and neat. Airport staff are present in the halls, ready to provide information assistance.

I was not impressed with the terminal for C7. It took a very long time to register, and there was no online registration at all. This extension itself looks very strange and shabby. Only after the train to the airport everything became decent.

It is very convenient to get there, clear information, it is impossible to get lost, the electronic "border" - if the passport is with biometrics - was looked through the eyes, missed. Clean, tidy, Duty-Free is spacious, the waiting room is spacious, the announcements are also in our language for our flights. It's a pity that there is no such "waterfall" as in the main terminal, such as fly on Emirates A-380, and not on charters, or something spectacular, for a greater feeling of being in the Emirates, so just a convenient airport.

If you didn't know where to put the time before the flight, then you are here. There are a lot of people at passport control, at the security check. In this case, you need to start registration five hours in advance, so that you have time to inspect the duty-free zone. Sheremetyevo is steering)

A huge airport! Because of this, everything is very long, there is a huge queue for passport control, which takes a lot of time. From the moment the plane landed to the exit from the airport, we never got less than 80 minutes.

Everything is fine. Everything is clear. They also registered on the subway for passport control and inspection. And there's the Dutch Fries and the boarding gates.

Terminal for Aeroflot and other airlines. Life Hacks: - taxi is located after passing through customs and traveling by train, they ask you to show them when making a purchase, so do not check in your luggage; - in DF - all cosmetics, there are stands of Cartier, Bulgari, Rayban and all sorts of little things; - there is a mcdack on the second floor.

An ordinary airport without frills. There is a big disadvantage after passing through customs to the departure area, you need to take some kind of train, why this is done is not clear, but it is annoying. A small selection of business halls

It's just some kind of endless story that even has its own subway to take you to your luggage or to the entry point of the plane, a huge duty free and a lot of people, as well as digital customs, where you don't need to put a stamp on your passport.

Be sure to check which terminal is on the ticket. Different companies fly to Moscow from both terminals 1 and 3. Good duty free service. You can buy souvenirs, sweets and alcohol at good prices.

We were there recently. I really liked it. Slow passenger service. It is also inconvenient that you need to travel from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1 by metro. And on that train that leaves for the city, we almost got lost.

Terminal 1 is conveniently located in close proximity to the metro. During check-in, we helped with the registration of additional bulky baggage. There are long queues for departure, but 1.5 - 2 hours is enough

Terminal 3, which belongs to Emirates Airline, is much better than the first terminal. The first one has queues for security and passport control. There may be queues for the train. It's not the most convenient terminal, to be honest. At the same time, the third terminal is much more convenient.
