Great airport! Successfully copes with such a large flow of tourists. Everything is comfortable, there are no crowds of people! The employees are dressed in national clothes, they look very beautiful. They give you a free sim every time. a card for communication.

A nice, cozy airport...Clean, quiet, fast service and few people. I would like more shops and cafes, and closer to the metro...

The airport itself is like an airport, you can get by metro, and there by bus from the final expo 2020. Passport recognizers don't work very often, so you'll most likely be queuing up for a person. Dutik is small and expensive. If you are flying with a low-cost airline, then expect to put all your purchases in your hand luggage and so that it fits into the calibrator. Yes, purchases from dutik will not be allowed to be transported just like that - only for 200 dirhams for carrying additional hand luggage (for each unit)

Clean, quiet, modest, but without queues and very fast. The bus is right at the exit, which goes to the subway, but you need to buy a travel card in advance before going outside... on the left, in the store right at the checkout (in red tones, a grocery and souvenir shop)

The airport is free, quick check-in, due to the fact that it is not large, it is impossible to get lost (as I got lost in DXB last year) I issue SIM cards at the control.

It didn't go so smoothly. For some reason, I was checked for a long time. But everything went well in the end. It was clean, everything was clear, but it was a long way from our hotel.

Big but empty. Clean and tidy. But unfortunately, there are few places to eat. There is a Costa and a Poppy in the departure area. It costs 30 dirhams to wrap up the luggage. Weigh the luggage 2 dirhams.

A simple airport. Coffee in coffee units is 7 dirhams. For our approx. 200 rubles . Just like in Moscow. Mac duck is disgusting. I took an ice cream cone and coffee. It's disgusting.

If possible, it is better to choose Al Maktoum airport, there are much fewer people here, everything is nearby, you can quickly cross the border, check in, take a taxi. Very convenient.

A great small airport. No need to walk for a long time, everything is fast. But be careful: Victory forced me to put my carry-on luggage (I bought a special Victory Bag, a purse for their check box size) in a drawer and put my duty-free purchases on top, a bag with bottles)))!!! It was lucky that it got in, otherwise I don't even know what would have happened.

A new one, built for EXPO 2020, but due to the pandemic it was closed, flights are now resuming, there are a lot of check-in counters, there are drinking fountains with water, McD and not only, polite staff (gave seats on the plane with a teenager, although they are not obliged!)
From the airport to the metro by bus 55, everything clean and pleasant.
In Duty Free, I bought a souvenir that was searched all over Dubai🙃

On the first trip, everything was very wonderful. On the second trip, unfortunately, it was the other way around. Tea from a disposable tea bag in a paper cup costs 600 rubles.

On the edge of the city. But it takes 30 - 40 minutes by taxi. There are few flights, so so far everything is fast and without queues arrival / check-in / baggage. There are not many shops and cafes, but everything is basic.

The airport is good, but it is very far to get to it. If you get by public transport from the center, then it takes 1.5-2 hours to drive. First, take the metro to expo 2020 station (the final one), then take the F55 bus (you mean buses don't run often, you'll have to wait). If you take a taxi, prepare about 200 dirhams. There is a duty free. I flew from this airport on Victory to Vnukovo. The staff is responsive (I was late for check-in, they entered the check-in position. Special thanks to them for that!). If it wasn't for the location, then 5 stars.

I'll be honest. The airport is small. The waiting time is normal, the seats are very good. Duty-free shops are very good. There is everything you need. The food is great. Generally 4 per capacity

A dutifrey with a basic assortment, some electronics, some booze, some perfume and souvenirs. Everything is organized according to the norms, crowds or some other problems were not noticed. Disembarkation and boarding without problems are all very easy.

The airport is clean and relatively new, but it doesn't seem to be in much use. It serves flights from Russia, not Aeroflot, and from the CIS and India. It is always almost empty, there are very few shops and cafes, a couple of duty free, two coffee shops and a poppy. It is located at a distance from Dubai, a taxi from there will cost a lot, and it will take an hour and a half to get to the center by public transport

The airport is located far from the city, transport accessibility is questionable - we got from here and here by taxi.
Official taxis near the international arrival stand right in line, driving on the counter.
Upon departure: the common area is empty, there is one coffee shop, luggage packing and check-in counters. There are few places to sit.
The clean area has a more comfortable environment, there are cafes and shops.
There are no teletraps, and boarding and disembarking under the bus.

Yes, it is small. Yes, there are few shops. Yes, there are few people. So that's fine. A clean and unloaded airport. No queues, no fuss. If you live in the neighboring areas, then it's absolutely fine. It is quite convenient for me to go from the Marina, but by car, of course. The subway doesn't go there.

Самый уютный аэропорт в Дубае 😇 Уютно, чисто и аккуратно ✈️ в Duty Free покупала пару подарков для своих студентов 🧑🎓 Крутые и цены приятные 😇 Сотрудники аэропорта вежливые подскажут и даже заботливые ☺️
На 2 этаже Макдональдс во время обслуживают 😇 персонал вежливый!

A huge new airport and completely empty. The inconvenient location is far outside the city, it is long and expensive to get there. Only about a dozen flights are operated per day, mainly from Russia. Apparently airlines from other countries don't want to fly there because passengers don't want to fly there.
If it is possible to take tickets to another Dubai airport, it is better to fly there.

Everything is clear, navigation, maintenance, inspection, shops. The main thing is to observe the baggage allowance otherwise for overweight and not matching the size of the ticket office

The airport, which is at the stage of formation (November 2023). Due to the fact that very few companies fly into it, it is not crowded at all, which can be a plus. On the other hand, most of it is in the process of construction, so it is not available. For example, you can only eat at McDonald's. There are, however, a couple more places with sweets and coffee, but you will not be able to have lunch there. There is one duty-free store.
The airport staff is not very efficient (judging from my experience). They shuffled my turn for registration 4 times. This will spoil your nerves a little, but it will not affect the real time of registration much.
Border control on arrival is quite fast. Passport control for departure from the country is fully automated - you will not even meet with real border guards.
The metro does not go to this airport. The only way to get there by public transport is to use a bus. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no luggage space on the bus. Therefore, the only option for passengers with luggage is a taxi.

It is located not far from Dubai. Clean. Not crowded. Be careful with taxi drivers at the airport, they try to cheat, demand a trip only by the meter. The airport makes a good impression

Al Maktoum Airport left an impression that is difficult to forget. Its unusual compactness is striking from the first minutes of arrival. During all six hours of waiting, I saw only one flight, and I have not seen such a thing even at Petrozavodsk airport.
Despite the relative silence and low number of flights, Al Maktoum Airport has its own unique charm. It is not devoid of a certain mystery and calmness, which, perhaps, can be found only in such non-standard places.
However, it is worth noting that for travelers accustomed to more active traffic at airports, this place may seem too secluded. Nevertheless, Al Maktoum provides an opportunity to enjoy an atmosphere that is different from ordinary airports, and this certainly makes it an interesting and unique place for transfers.

Excellent airport, 35 km from Dubai. You can get to the city by bus f55 to Expo 2020 station and take the metro. Back the same way.

On the plus side: not many flights are served, it's small in itself, you don't have to wander around like in DXB
Cons: Russian flights arrive at the same time several at once and from St. Petersburg is the latest, so there is a queue at customs, the smart gate does not always work, waiting for the bus at the plane is almost always
Well, the location is almost an hour from the center of Dubai is also a minus

Nice, big airport. It is sparsely populated, but there is already information that soon, instead of the main airport, while it is under reconstruction, some flights will be transferred here. Very nice staff. There is a duty free. One disadvantage is that it is far from the center. The average taxi ride to it is 140 dirhams. If you arrived in the afternoon or in the morning, you can buy a silver card for transport right at the currency exchange office, top it up and drive three, it seems, dirhams to the Expo 2020 metro station. We didn't know, and went to the metro station by taxi with other tourists.

A cozy, small airport. But there are few places to eat (now only a Poppy and a coffee shop). If you want to eat something more varied, it's better in advance.

A small and sluggish airport. Upon arrival, we queued for 2 hours at passport control, as only 3 people worked. Fortunately, there were no such problems on the flight.

Gorgeous airport. There are very few flights and as a result people. On the day of my departure, there were only 2 flights in raspichanie. Yes, it is located a little far away, in the desert, besides, the temperature there is 5-7 degrees higher than on the coast, if it's long before the flight, then you can't go outside
A very good dytik in terms of perfumes, I got to the action with discounts when buying from 3 products, it turned out very well to save money.

To get there by taxi by car or take a transfer, about 100 dirhams. A "sonorous" taxi is expensive. The grandcosmopolitan Hotel is about a 40-minute drive from Almaktum. Check-in at the counters is convenient, dutifrey is very expensive, it is better to go to the supermarket in the Dubai Mall than here. Hot meals on the second floor at Macdonalds for passengers whose flight is delayed.
