The entrance to the airport is through the barriers, the traffic flows are separated, it seems that the object is protected. The port is large, empty. There are trolleys for luggage. Luggage packing is 30 dirhams. Clean, the toilets are clean.Tourist flows are divided. The staff is polite, they speak English well. It is very cold in the waiting room, the air conditioners are working at full capacity. I was even cold. There is an island like a food court with snacks. Vending machines with drinks and chocolates. Duty free is much more expensive than in Russia (for example, Koltsovo). There is a lot of space. The aircraft parking lot is clearly visible, it is interesting for children to see.

It's a great airport, it's a long way, but it's the cost of charter flights. Clean, modern, electronic passport control in how many seconds. Free fast WiFi, great Duty free.

Great airport! Compared to the main airport, this one is half empty, with very few flights! There is practically no cafe before check-in. This is the main advantage that there are few people and fuss. There are places to sit and relax. At the same time, everything is clean and tidy. A good normal duty free and also without people. It's very comfortable to be here!

The airport itself is very good, you can get to and from the metro by bus 55, 40-50 minutes.So everything is clean and cultured.I wanted to write a nuance, be careful, our compatriots are asking to transfer the phones to Moscow, this is a divorce, many do not have enough intelligence and people are being led.

Victory is flying here. For the first time, it is better to enter the Emirates through the main airport (DMX), there is a metro station nearby, where you can immediately buy an RTA Nol Silver card (an analogue of our Three). In Al Maktoum (DMC), you have to take a bus to the metro, without a Nol card it is unclear how to pay for it, and there is nowhere to buy it. I'll have to take a taxi. If you already have a Nol card, you can top it up in cash through the payment terminal right at the bus stop. And since the airport is normal, when you re-enter, you pass through the smart gate using biometrics, quickly and without any stamps in your passport.

We arrived at this airport on November 24 and left this airport on December 1, 2024.
1. Very long passport control on arrival, you have to stand in queues. We stood there for more than two hours. The Arabs take a very long time and do everything slowly. Children in queues have time to get to know each other, play enough and watch enough cartoons.
2. Scan the retina of all adults.
3. For those who come to the UAE for the first time and want to leave the Airport by public transport, it may be a problem to buy a Nol travel card. You can't get into public transport without these cards. There were no cards on sale in the devices. And in the only place of sale of these cards, we had to wait, because they ran out. The seller promised all the time that they would be delivered in three minutes, as a result, they waited for these cards for 20 minutes. Only the Silver cards were sold, the others were not on sale at all.
4. As a result of all the above circumstances, we left the Airport only three and a half hours later by bus. This is probably how Arabs earn money from tourists, there are no maps - take a taxi, the mileage from the Airport to the nearest hotels is decent and for boarding immediately 25 dirhams on the counter + 2 dirhams for each kilometer approximately, that's a decent amount for travel at the very beginning of your vacation. Therefore, calculate the cost of travel in advance, taking into account possible unforeseen circumstances.
5. We took off from the same airport. When passing through the hand luggage control, the film for packing suitcases was taken away, without explanation. I will need to read about the film, why can't I take it with me?
6. I put my suitcase in the luggage. It was opened without my participation, it turns out to be a common practice for the UAE, this is the first time I personally come across this. There is nothing special in the suitcase, souvenirs, personal belongings (clothes) and a power bank (I took it just in case to recharge my phone). That's what they took him away, I only found out about it at Vnukovo Airport when I received my luggage and saw the cut film and the incision somehow sealed with tape. I wonder if this is a forbidden item? I took him with me in Russia for a couple of years and everything was fine. Firstly, it is very unpleasant when strangers rummage through your things without your knowledge.
Secondly, it was a gift from the children and I treasured it very much.
Thirdly, I still needed a power bank, I think it's a necessary thing for everyone.
Instead of my things, I found a note in my suitcase. In my opinion, this is a very unpleasant situation.

The airport is very spacious and convenient. In Duty Free, the assortment is not very diverse. Clean and comfortable toilets. Information about departures and terminals is clear, there are no long queues.

The airport is not big. It's clean and bright. There are practically no queues. The location is approximately Dubai, closer to Dubai Marina. It takes 30-40 minutes by taxi. There are buses to the city. The price is 5-6 dirhams, payment is made in a special ticket on the street to the right of the exit. He does not give change in bills, accepts the card and cash.

It's a terrible airport, I never thought that my acquaintance with Dubai would start like this. This is an airport for budget airlines and package tourists. Even if you were flying business on Aeroflot, you will be put on a bus and taken to the airport, where you will stand in a huge queue with tourists from low-cost airlines and charters, and screaming children who are not allowed to wait in line. There are only three lazy employees in the whole crowd. On the return flight, I was also surprised by the fact that it seems that in the newest and most modern airport, as stated on the website, there is no entertainment, there is nowhere to eat, drink, Duty Free is half empty and small. You definitely can't come here in advance.

So-so, if you don't know the language, it's difficult, especially at the airport. There is a lot of space, compared to those flying away. You can apply for a taxi, right at the airport, but for this you need to buy a store and tell the taxi company. Be prepared to be told to show the product that was purchased by taxi

A small airport specifically for Russians, apparently. There is no food/water or anything else before the check, just a small waiting area. In the clean zone (hooray!) There's a whole McDonald's and some other coffee shop. I'm glad that at least there are phone chargers in front of the gates.

We arrived almost 3 hours before departure, and at the check-in desk we were assured that the seats in the 1st row of the housekeeper were occupied by babies, and therefore pregnant women and children could not be seated. In fact, when boarding the plane, there was 1 baby sitting there and all the others were teenagers about 16 years old. There was also no way to buy these seats either in advance or at the airport. Karma to you and all the best employees of the racks :)
There is no proper food at the airport itself, the duty free is terribly small and the shelves are half empty, or there is an overpayment for low-quality goods.
Upon arrival, you will also find a huge queue at 3 o'clock and a small room. The worst airport I've ever been to. We flew on a regular Aeroflot flight, the ticket price was 150,000rubles round trip and such a horror. I am attaching a photo.

There are always long queues at passport control on arrival, and everything is much faster for departure. A good exchanger, the exchange rate is quite a bit lower than in the city.
Large free parking in front of the terminal. The duty free is small.

A good airport, everything is clean and cozy, duty free everything is there, there are comfortable sun beds where you can sleep! There are very few people, as well as staff, especially at night. And the airport itself is large in size both inside and outside. It's not far to Dubai, 40 minutes, I think it will be even less soon, since everything is being built there at a good pace✌️

A pleasant airport, despite its distance from the city. Spacious, good duty-free, not so many people. However, my departure was not announced, so I advise you to follow the scoreboard yourself so as not to miss it.

One day it may be the largest and most beautiful airport, but for now I can't say anything good about it: upon arrival, we stood in line for an hour at passport control, only a few employees took passengers on all arriving and arriving planes. to give them their due, the staff is friendly and welcoming. The rooms are nondescript, the toilets are not very clean. Everything is much safer in the departure area.

The airport itself is not big. Of the disadvantages, there is a poor choice of cafes, but in general the airport is like an airport. I didn't come here to eat.
But the most inconvenient thing is transportation. If you do not take a taxi or transfer, but want to drive yourself. There is 1 regular bus to the metro, which runs quite often, every 10-15 minutes, but stops at every pillar. As a result, it's almost an hour to the subway.

The airport is for Russians. A huge half-empty building, which later, as they say, will become one of the largest airports in the world. But that's later. There's nothing here right now. Registration and passport control are very fast. After the inspection area, there are only 2 stores with the same assortment. There is no Dubai chocolate. Buy it in advance. Perfect toilets (just like everywhere else in Dubai).

It's a good airport because it's small, but it's far from the city, which is a minus. Plus, there are few people, a good dutik, you can buy souvenirs if you don't have time. There is the cheapest McDonald's in the world where you can eat a set for the price of coffee.

A small terminal, no queues. There are no teletraps at the airport. The exit from the aircraft is made via two ladders of two doors at the same time, there are also two buses for passengers, one for each ramp, and they do not wait for full occupancy. Therefore, unloading from the aircraft takes place quite quickly, as well as delivery to the terminal building.

A compact new airport, there is practically no need to walk - you can arrive right next to the departure)
Yes, it is located at a distance from the city, but it is easy to get to the center of Dubai by bus 55 - during the day to the subway, and at night to the end point)
Convenient electronic passport control - Smart Gate

The airport seems to be huge in terms of territory, but inside the building, it feels like it is secondary to Dubai - low ceilings, small (rather small) duty, only two cafes (one of them is McDon) and generally sparsely populated, which is rather a plus.

I flew from this airport to Moscow at the end of December, in principle, everything is convenient, it is clear that there are no complaints about the staff. There are a lot of Russian tourists, so if necessary, you can ask for some nuances, but in general everything is clear.

Everything is fine, except for the attractions with a free SIM card for a day, issued by kind border guards upon arrival. It is not activated by the word "at all". During installation, the phone does not see it.
The employees at the exit send you to the left, to the Du counter, and at the Du counter you are too lazy to activate it for free, he says that the registration from the border guards has not yet passed.
Therefore, we immediately buy a new 2GB one inexpensively and calmly move in all directions!

This is a train station, not an airport. the only plus is there are a lot of waiting places)))) the hall is empty. after registration. Customs and border guards are all changing for the better, but not by much. The arrival is just terrible, with a child waiting in line for 1.5 hours at passport control

Everything is top-notch in the UAE, so here too, But this is a cargo terminal , this is a warehouse where flights from the Russian Federation have been added, well, a couple more countries have low-quality airlines, toilets are in terrible condition, this is the first time I saw such a thing in the UAE, one McDonald's cafe for the entire airport, staff paragraph, one duty store Free , the level of the station stall , and that 's it , you can buy one soda machine .

Everything would be fine if it weren't for the distance of 50 km, by taxi from $ 50 to some Business Bay, not even to the center of Dubai. I would prefer DXB, but Al Maktoum is huge, and from the Russian Federation, as far as I understand, flights are mainly to it. I even took it specially to DXB - as a result, the Aeroflot flight changed again to Almaktum

There are still a lot of things that need to be completed, still under construction, as far as I understand, but the main joint is a business hall, it's difficult to find such a miracle even in our hinterlands - some crazy queues at the entrance with a wait of half an hour, broken coffee machines, 2-3 inedible dishes, but there are some cans of lemonade, That's it. One of the advantages is dutik and his patient staff)

Airport -antistress )) At first, I thought it was very bad that Ural Airlines flew to such a small airport, but then I appreciated the advantages. There are no traffic jams at the entrance and exit, no queues, no crowds, quiet, calm. Everything else that should be at an international airport is there. Clean, comfortable, pleasant. I even liked Duty free.

It's just like everywhere else. The main difference is that when you go to the far exit (we had 22), you won't be able to get out at all. Your spine is torn off and you enter the departure area of your flight.
There is a toilet and tap water, but food and Duty Free will be left out. So first the shopping, and then the departure desk.,
There are sockets for charging gadgets.

Compared to the central airport, it is certainly sparsely populated, but it is located far from the city. There is a bus running from Expo2020, but it takes so long and goes around all the terminals on a narrow circular road, feeling like a roller coaster. Some people on the bus felt really bad.

The airport has sunk into my soul because it is very empty, unlike DXB. It always turned out that I flew in DXB Terminal 2, which is absolutely no different from this airport inside. A huge number of taxi drivers at the exit. The only drawback is that it is far from the city, so the taxi is expensive. The average is 150-200 dirhams. If you live further than Downtown, it is possible that more.

It is a very convenient airport because there are practically no people, do not expect any significant purchases from it, as of the time of writing this review, you could safely arrive in an hour and a half and still have some free time.

Not a bad, small airport. There is no security at the entrance.
"Local" Russians are rushing around and offering to earn money on the transportation of Sony play station (1 console in 1 hand luggage, they say you get 5 tr upon arrival), but I did not check on myself.
A dutik is more expensive than upon arrival at the same airport)
We took off at Moscow time .
