A small, unloaded airport on the outskirts of Dubai city. It takes about 40 minutes to get there by taxi. There is a Poppy for a snack. There are practically no queues at the counters. There are no gangways, only buses. A couple of Dutifrey shops. Compared to Dubai's main airport, this one is quite a "baby"

We passed through passport control very quickly. A separate queue has been set up for the second and subsequent visits to Dubai. At the first visit, the retina of the eye is scanned. When leaving Dubai, you need to scan your passport and look at the window where the eye scan takes place - passport control is completed independently without the participation of a passport officer. There is free Wi-Fi and clean toilets at the airport. You can get from the airport to the city by city bus, having previously purchased a Nol card at the airport exit store.

Clear. Security guards ply the hall from time to time, checking the documents of seated passengers, but unobtrusively. In dutifrey, all perfumes do not actually match the samples that are given to try. I was very surprised. The rest is the same as everywhere else. The staff will help in case of problems, but you either need to know English or master Google Translator.

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.

Check-in and baggage check-in opens exactly 3 hours before departure, so it makes no sense to arrive at the airport earlier. You can arrive a little earlier, only if you need to issue a tax-free refund. In general, registration is fast. Passport control on arrival, if the first time is a little slow, everything is fast on departure, even without human intervention - you scan your passport yourself and go to the waiting room. Duty free is small, everything is standard - perfume, alcohol, cigarettes, sweets. The prices are too high. We took off at 8 a.m. There were few people at the airport, there is a McDonald's and a Costa coffee shop on the second floor, the prices there are not much different from those in the city.

A large modern airport. The temperature inside the airport is comfortable. There are shops. Registration is fast. Since this is a relatively new airport, there are not many people, there is no parking.

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.

A large and empty car, as many wrote here. See the photo) Positive: intuitive, clean, quiet, comfortable in air temperature, there are drinking fountains (take an empty bottle). Cons: there are few employees at the counters and at customs, few cafes where you can have a snack, no lounge. It's still far away, you can see on the map: it's 50 km from Sharjah, but so far we've been driving from the hotel for 2.5 hours). Keep in mind when choosing a flight (for example, Ural aircrafts fly here on tours, which delayed our departure from Moscow Time at 1.30, and back at 2.30).

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 small airport that is understandable by location. The disadvantage is that there is no shop or cafe in the station building. There is no way to buy water or food in the station building. There are shops in the departure area, after passport control and security screening. But there may not be enough time to visit these stores.

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 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).

A good modern airport. Very good logistics, everything is clear and accessible. We were pleased with the passport scanners, which accelerated the passage of passport control. The interior is very clean and comfortable. A fairly large duty free with a good selection of perfumes. The only drawback is the lack of "sleeves" for access to the plane. It was a very dubious pleasure to climb the ladder at +42. And it was a little stuffy on the buses. Of course, it's a quick matter, but the discomfort is still felt.

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.

Probably the most "no" place in the whole of Dubai. there are very few people, few planes, the only place where the toilets are not very well maintained, there are almost no cafes. The business lounge is very small and always packed, so you need to queue up to get there.

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

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)

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.

A small airport, located at a distance from Dubai and Sharjah. Getting by car is OK, by taxi to Sharjah, for example, the price tag is cosmic! Inside there is clear navigation and fast service. But! the free SIM cards that are given to Dubai International were not given to us. You can't find food here during the day with fire. If the machine is in the coffee, but they only accept cards, which can be attached, but mine had to be inserted. Accordingly, it was not possible to buy even rasterized coffee. There is no other food/drinks🤦♀️ Provided that our Victory is flying from this airport and there is no possibility of online registration, then you need to arrive in 3 hours 30min for the procedure, the rest of the time is waiting, it would be nice to have a cafe here, but no. Al Maktoum is a car for non-eating passengers. Otherwise, he is good

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.

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.

It takes an hour and a half by taxi to reach Sharjah. At five in the morning, the airport is empty. Quickly. Two departures. One at 6:35 a.m. to Makhachkala and ours to Moscow at 8 a.m. Everything was fast, which surprised me. The business room is on the second floor. Spices ruined the taste of the second courses, any alcohol, beer, carbonated drinks and coffee, two types of juice. Everything is operational on the gate, too. Thank you. Surprised

Nice quiet and sparsely populated airport. There is a waiting area and a cafe in the area before check-in. Payment at the cafe is either by card or in local currency. After passing through passport control, souvenir shops, cafes (you can already use euros and dollars). There are not many shops, but enough. At the boarding gates there is a smoking room with a panoramic window and tables. It's not very bad. Everything is clean and organized. The only drawback: I didn't see the sleeves.. boarding via buses. We flew away in the rain. Everyone tried to get off the bus evenly in order to quickly get on board the ladder. "Thank you" to the family of compatriots who ran ahead, splashing.. and .. yes, that's right, they fit into the cabin with their backpacks, and we stood in the rain on the ramp and waited for other passengers to clear the aisle, putting their belongings on the luggage racks.. It's good for them - it's already dry.. And you don't have to think about others.. But this is not an airport..
