There are very few people. We had a flight at 13:50. The check-in and inspection took place faster than ever in my life. There are a few shops, McDonald's, Costa on the second floor by excavator. There is a drinking fountain where you can fill a bottle with water. It is located in a recess to the left of the entrance to the women's bathroom. This toilet is opposite the car, at the end of the row of shops. Or you can buy water from a vending machine for 3 dirhams 0.5 liters. Union Pay RSHB does not accept cards.
One of the disadvantages of the airport is that the metro does not reach here. We took a taxi. Take the ones with the RTA symbol on the side. According to the counter. We got 90 dirhams to Dubai Marina. You can take the F55 bus to the Expo 2020 metro station, then to your station. There are only two branches, red and green.

I flew to Dubai several times. And the very first flight was to this airport. Compared to Dubai International Airport, it is very quiet and peaceful here, no fuss. Dutifrey is very cool, there's a lot of choice. I realized that I would only choose flights to this airport.

The airport is located far from the city, it is Dubai's second international airport. The airport is new and spacious. If you plan to travel to the city on your own (not by taxi), you must purchase a card for public transport at the exit of the store, since cash and cards are not accepted. The stop is located to the right of the airport exit, bus F55 goes to the nearest metro Expo 2020. When entering the bus, you must attach a card to make sure that there is enough money for travel, and when exiting, you must also attach a card to debit money for travel. The fare varies depending on the zones - from 3 to 7.5 dirhams. Then you can take the metro to anywhere in the city.

The airport is quite big. Duty free with a good choice. However, the prices in duty free are no longer humane at all. In the departure area, you can only eat at McDonald's and another cafe. And the most interesting thing is that nothing is announced on the speakerphone. From the word quite so that you need to monitor your flight yourself.

There's plenty of room to wait for boarding. Everything is clean, everything is clear.
Very friendly staff.
There is a taxi stand very close, they don't drive in circles, they choose the meekest way.
Everything is great, without the imposition of services.

It's a good airport. The main thing is not as busy as in the center of Dubai. The only thing is to go further to it, but the road is quite comfortable. Good departure duty. Very small on arrival. There is an exchange upon arrival. You can immediately exchange dollars or euros for dirhams. The only thing missing is the food courts. One before the control area and one after. Still, it's not enough. And there is no children's room. Anyway, I haven't seen her. Otherwise, everything is fine.

A relatively small airport. There is a small range of perfumes in duty free, the most popular ones are quickly running out.
Comfortable waiting for the flight. Friendly staff, always ready to help.

If we talk about the speed of service, then everything is very fast, the airport is not big, there were no queues anywhere more than 15-20 minutes. Duty free is also compact, but it has everything you need. The waiting room is great, lots of chairs, carpet underfoot, everything is very comfortable.
From the center of Dubai at 11 p.m. we reached the airport in an hour. The price was 150 dirhams. If you consider that more budget flights from Moscow arrive at this airport, then the cost of plane tickets plus the cost of a taxi from the airport to Dubai is still much more economical than arriving at the airport in the city itself.

Nice small airport, quite decent, quick security checks and inspections. There is a souvenir shop, McDonald's, dutik, currency exchange (but the exchangers do not always have enough of the currency you need), 2 exchangers opposite each other, the second one gave you what you need.

We flew in and out of this airport several times. Small, cozy, everything is very convenient. You go through everything quickly everywhere. Everything you need is there. And where to eat and Dutch fries. We quickly issued a tax free. There aren't many people.

Everything is clean and tidy.

The airport is no frills, but large and convenient. There are a couple of coffee shops and a McDuck for food, there is a good dutik. Large spaces and lots of chairs. The nice thing is that the floor is carpeted.

Good, clean, fast. By taxi to downtown M. Financial Center 160-170 AED, 40-50 min on the way. The Dutch free is small, everything basic is minimal. From food - McDonald's, coffee shop (Costa or not? I don't remember) and further away, where the Heineken bar boarding gates are. Everything is fine, but it's a long way from being used to it.

The airport is good. Small, but clean. Duty free is also small, not the same as in a large airport.
The business hall is also small.
And such an unpleasant aunt walks around the hall and almost looks into bags so that someone doesn't put something from the hall with them.😅😅😅 In front of our eyes, some of the guests began to turn out bags of French fries to check if they had taken a coke. The rest of the guests were uncomfortable. Well, in general, this is somehow unusual for the Emirates. Hopefully, this aunt is no longer working in the business lounge)))
But otherwise, of course, everything is on the level! Just like everyone else in the UAE!

A small, compact airport. Clean, quiet. Check-in for flights starts 3 hours in advance. In front of the check-in counters there is a place for registration of free taxis. You go through security and passport control very quickly. Cool business room, lots of delicious food. Alk. and b/alk drinks. available. Duty free is small, but there is everything you need.

It's not a big but cozy airport, there are enough places, duty free is excellent, prices are.
There are many places for the charger, both with a USB connection and with a USB port, which is very important with children.
The toilets are clean, paper, soap, everything is in abundance

Huge (of course smaller than DXB), modern, conveniently located (especially for Dubai Marina, Jumeirah or Dubai Expo), as practice has shown (04/16/2024) - better protected from the vagaries of nature…
But at the same time, the airport is completely empty. And empty in every sense of the word. Empty free parking lots, empty border crossing posts (one or two out of 30 may work), the same with check-in for a flight. There is a huge queue at one working counter. In the years since EXPO2020, this air harbor has not yet been "promoted". All hope is on Emirates, which seems to be going to move their base there!

Unfortunately, the arrival and departure from the UAE was at this airport. There is nothing particularly bad to say, but it is not cozy, it somehow resembles our Domodedovo, of course it is cooler, but it reminds. Empty, with poor navigation. It's not possible to get lost there, but you still need to do a couple of laps before you figure out where to go to eat and go to the toilet. For some reason, the flight check-in was not displayed on the scoreboard, it was impossible to register online by order of Ural Airlines, apparently. But everything went fine. It bothered me a little and made me laugh at the TaxFree design. Everything is extremely simple and funny: before registration, I went to the counter with a return form icon. My aunt demanded my phone, I thought the photo would be viewed with compromising evidence (in the UAE, you can't record accidents, fights, murders, drunks on your phone, well, in general, anything that can spoil the picture of Babylon). But this woman deftly got on Instagram and signed me up for the port account. What the hell did I need it for, I didn't understand, but I didn't argue, otherwise suddenly the money wouldn't be returned. Then I saw that she was beating everyone up like that. There was no inspection of things, except to look at the box of apple daison and tiffany appliances, in general, everything that is expensive. I looked at the checks with one eye and gave them all and let them go. It takes 3-4 minutes for TaxFree to register. In the clean zone, they simply gave out rubles and dollars without checking anything. Buying something more expensive than 270 Dirhams, when you register at the TaxFree store, you automatically get into the Emirates database. And therefore, as soon as they see your passport, you can immediately see somewhere in their computer how much you have made in the store for a refund and how much money you need to return. everything is simple. In the clean area there is a small Duty Free: cosmetics, alcohol and a pair of blouses and small things. The food on the ground floor is terrible, there is a McDonald's on the second floor, there is also a business lounge for money and a couple of toilets. There are seats with sockets all over the port, but nothing works for charging, only on the racks you can charge something. It is better to get to the check-in upon arrival and leave the port by taxi (from 120 Derham along the entire length of the hotels where the metro runs). I didn't use the buses, there's a schedule and I have to wait. In general, it is dreary. If possible, then of course you need to choose another well-known Dubai Airport, but if I was given tickets by Ural Airlines, then there are no options. And yes! When passing through customs on arrival, you need to ask the customs officer for free SIM cards, they are with him, but they do not give them for some reason. So the "Givemiplizsimcard" is mandatory, the SIM card is free, there is enough GB for one day to determine the connection, depending on the planned time of stay in the country. The port is like a port, not gloomy, dull, but clean and there are toilets. I took bottles of water with me, they did not take them away at the control, so my water flew with me. Well, good luck to everyone!!

Of course, it's a small airport, away from tourist areas (from hotels). But it can be convenient from the Marina, but from the other side of Dubai, or the neighboring northern emirates, it is far away.
There is only one Dutifrey, but there are perfumes, cosmetics, food, a small selection with Arabic gifts and sweets, and in my opinion that's it. They take you by bus to and from the plane. If you are flying out of here, it is better to buy as much as possible in the malls before. You probably won't find it here

The service is excellent. Apparently there are few flights at the airport, so it is very spacious and even deserted. Therefore, all procedures are very fast. I especially liked the automated contactless passport control

The normal port. It is still being completed.
But, it is directly felt that the concept is for inexpensive (in terms of material condition) tourists.
In general, everything is done in the UAE, perfectly organized, clean and fast.

It's a very cool airport, small, essentially one-story, and as free as possible (at least when we were there). There is a huge empty parking lot in front of him, there is practically no traffic nearby. When we took off, there was 1 person in the queue at check-in, 0 at passport control, 0 at scanning, as a result, it took 5 minutes from entering the airport to the waiting room. There is a Smart Gate framework at passport control, such as it should be convenient and fast, but this is if they work, which does not happen for everyone for unknown reasons. In the waiting area there is a McDuck with adequate lunch prices and a coffee shop. The toilets are cool in Dubai and there are quite a lot of them. In fact, the only disadvantage of a small airport is the lack of sleeves, buses are transported to and from the plane.
You can get from the airport to the metro by bus F55, runs according to the schedule (there is one in Yandex Maps) once every 15-20 minutes, it is paid with a Nol transport card. Both times the bus was half empty. It seems like it's not far away, but the bus wanders through all sorts of local back streets, picking up people, as a result, it takes about 40 minutes in time. Of course, it would be absolutely wonderful if the metro was extended to this airport.

Great convenient airport! There is a huge parking lot near it, which is almost empty as of December 2024)
So far, there are few people here, but as my son, who lives in Dubai, said, this airport will become the central one in the coming years. When I arrived, there were 3 more flights from Russia, somehow at the same time. This is what created a disadvantage: there was a long queue at passport control (not all terminals were working), at this historical moment. But when flying to Moscow, passport control was electronic. In principle, it is convenient, although it was a little unusual for me.

This is not the largest airport in the emirates, but the size of everything is impressive. For comparison. More than 300 terminals for passenger check-in, identity verification with robotic technology, careful handling of luggage, I saw how the movers work carefully, no smells, stuffiness in the airport building. It's not like that with us. It all started with a bus that boarded more than a hundred people from an airplane, two awesome air-conditioned buses were served in the emirates, and strange questions like what were you doing in the UAE, what's in the date boxes, began to be asked in the window. When will our relatives have smiles on their faces and comfortable conditions for air passengers?

The airport is new, there are few people inside, so you can wait for your flight in fairly comfortable conditions, having quietly found a place for yourself. On the downside, it's a long way from the city, but it takes 50 minutes by car from the center of Dubai.

It's a great airport. The only negative is that it's far from the center. If you are filming in Marina, then take the metro for half an hour to Expo 2020 station and from there take the F55 bus for another 40 minutes. Do not forget that 7.5 dirhams should remain on the card in order for you to travel on the bus (if less, then after leaving the subway you can buy a ticket for 6 dirhams from the same card at the ticket office, my wife and I had 6.5 each, we were charged 6 from there and given tickets. + there is a good business lounge, immediately after passing the checks.

Wonderful impressions of DWC Al Maktoum Airport, named after the ruling dynasty of sheikhs. Convenient location, quick passport control on the retina of the eye, looked at the monitor, and a second later the surname and first name are displayed in Latin letters, come in.
The waiting room on the 2nd floor is huge, with comfortable chairs, empty, no crowd is observed. The duty free zone is small, prices are high, souvenirs are solid - camels and Burj khalifs, perfume - very high prices, whiskey for the promotion 2 for the price of 1. Carpet, perfect cleanliness everywhere, toilets are contactless, with a shower! There is a small, almost empty cafe. My score is -5 points!
P.S.We had an indus transfer from Sharjah, it took 1 hour and 5 minutes to drive, just in case, add 20 minutes for traffic jams if you fly in the 2nd half of the day.

We flew from Dubai to St. Petersburg.
There was a flight delay of 3 hours.
There is only ONE cafe with sandwiches and all kinds of dry food for the entire airport, up to the check-in points. By the way, after all the controls, it's not much either... (poppy seeds, Costa and draft beer). They ate in the poppy afterwards.
By the way, there were three terminals in Maktoum that were not connected to each other. And most importantly, the composition of shops and cafes is very different depending on the terminal. From our terminal (the number was not written), they flew mainly towards the Russian Federation and some other third countries)) well, in general, the meaning is clear further)) Half of the stores are not being renovated. In duty shops, the shelves with cosmetics are simply empty. What a horror!!! Even the dhb terminal, from where the flydubai flies, does not seem so flawed.
For the flight delay, McDonald's provided a drink for free as compensation, and thanks for that))

Very far from the city. If you take public transport from the center, you will have to make several transfers. If you take a taxi, then prepare from 4,500 to 6,500 rubles. It is spacious inside, there are many check-in counters, there are automatic passport control counters. After the passport control area, there is a small duty free with a wide assortment. There are several cafes, McDonald's. You can take food with you on the flight if you suddenly fly to Moscow. You even need to take it. Necessarily. 5.5 hours in victory without power, it's still an adventure.

A big, clean, new airport. The duty free zone is scanty, you don't need to expect that you can buy something here. There are drinks, perfumes and chocolates, statuettes of camels and Burj khalifa. That's probably all! The waiting area is huge, there are enough seats, there is carpet on the floor, children ran barefoot. A makdack was seen on the second floor, but we did not go there, we arrived late at the airport.
The check-in area is a huge long snake maze. A boarding pass was issued quickly enough, then the customs area. Everything is decent, fast, without huge waiting queues.

Currently (not completed yet) It is a compact and cozy airport. There were no problems with tax free. The airport staff was very polite.

I was very pleased with the responsiveness of all the employees I contacted on the day of arrival and on the day of departure. As in principle, and the hospitality of local and non-local foreigners in Dubai. Why foreigners? Yes, because I talked to Russians there 2 times, always sour, dissatisfied faces, arrogant communication. My God, fellow citizens, when will it be easier for you? There is a cloud in the shale from a lousy guess and when asked how to get to the beach, it makes me feel "I didn't go to the free one" to be like that. I am often ashamed of my fellow citizens abroad. And the airport and the city are high

The airport is like everywhere else. But the location is not very convenient. To get to the city, I had to travel 1.5 hours in a crowded bus to the nearest metro station 2020 expo. There are exchangers at the airport in the baggage claim area, which is not profitable at all. There is an exchanger at the exit after the green corridor, where the exchanger is already close to the city ones.

It was the first time I flew out of this airport, on the 3rd, a small duty, there is little choice, but they accept rubles in cash. (I compare it with the main airport, because there are many shops, restaurants, etc.)
Wi-fi is working, there is a smoking room.
I didn't like the fact that people walk in front of the entrance asking to transfer iPhones and Dubai chocolate! Be careful, because you know where the free cheese is
