A small, empty, not busy airport, everything is fast, very clean, everyone is very polite as everywhere else. If it will be useful for someone, you can get from the airport to the city by public transport-bus f55, you need a transport card nol, you can buy it or top it up at the vending machine at the stop, to the right of the arrival zone, the fare is 5 AED to the EXPO 2020 metro and for some reason 7.50 back

Large, spacious, but very far from the center of Dubai! Bus F55 to Expo2020 metro station takes about 40-45 minutes (more turns around the area)until he gets to the subway.

It's a good airport, small and almost always empty, so customs control is quick. It is located far from the city.

I was in the business lounge: everything was nice - food, drinks, sockets, and even an employee called in broken Russian to board the plane! Very nice!

It's a small airport, but they check it thoroughly. It was not possible to get through the automatic passage, apparently his passport photos and real ones did not match)). There are no luggage trolleys. There is a Dutik, but a small one. Who needs it: the F55 bus runs from the Expo 2020 metro (41 minutes on the way).

To be honest, I didn't like the airport. Small, modest. Toilets deserve special attention. A hole in the floor.... At least that's the way it is in the women's bathroom. There are very few booths on the floor, because of this, the queue is still at the entrance.

The airport is new, clean, and all border crossings and customs take place as quickly as possible. Duty-free is small, but it should grow soon.

It so happened that due to the flight delay, we spent a day at this airport. I can mention the wonderful seats. Unlike many other airports, they do not have sharp edges, you can spend the night quite comfortably on them. There is a hotel five minutes from the airport, and a 20-minute bus ride away there is a wonderful supermarket where you can, if anything, stock up on groceries while waiting for a delayed flight. Due to the fact that the airport is brand new, we could not find a luggage room to leave our things.

A small airport located 40 minutes from the city.I didn't notice any disadvantages.All airport services from baggage unloading to customs clearance work clearly and kindly.Upon entry, all tourists are given local SIM cards as a welcome bonus from visiting the UAE.Everything is clear, there are few flights, there is no crowd.The duty free range is small.Both a taxi and a bus to the city are a stone's throw from the exit of Welcome OAE!

The impressions are not bad . I had a transfer from the hotel to the Airport. The driver included a waltz from the Nutcracker opera, a dance with Khachaturian's Sabres. The airport staff will meet and escort you directly to the right counter. Only Pakistanis worked at the check-in desks, they do not know Russian. I tried to get information in English on how to return the money if the baggage was paid for, but in fact it was hand luggage - I did not understand. The waiting room is large. Departure is delayed by 1 hour. The duty-free shop is very modest. I bought a box of dates with fillers .

The airport is very large, there are few people. Passport control is fast. Duty free is small, the range is so-so. There is a cafe, for example, Magdonalds. You can buy Nol cards (metro/bus) at the airport. There is a bus stop near the exit from the airport, the bus goes to the metro.

It's not a big airport, but the service is fast. We got our luggage in 15 minutes and left. They flew out of nowhere. Also no problem. We landed from the desert, but took off to the sea. Palm Island is in full view. There is a beautiful view through the illuminator and a camera to help you remember.

It's great that there is water. You can drink from the fantanches even after the passage, maybe there is a place to drink right before boarding the plane. Here you learn from the airport, you can't take it with you, there's nothing to buy Pitot for 10 times more expensive, but here it's just a buzz. Remember the two buses. N55 straight to Dubai (it is night) F55 to the first metro station, Expo City. Both cost 7.5 dirhams. Before boarding, buy a nol card to leave on them. In short, in duty free from a person, you can buy it for dirhams. It's worth 25 grand, they're already on the bill.

A good airport, far from the hotels of the city, but this distance is overcome very quickly, 15-25 minutes and in the city if by taxi, the cost is about 150-180 dirhams at night if you take from the Arabs at the exit from the airport, will they start a luxury car right in a crowd, more expensive than Yandex? I can't say it was 10-15 dirhams cheaper in Yandex, but we got lost and didn't find it, in the end we went in a good mood with a carbon monoxide bomb)

The airport is small and deserted. Which, in principle, is not bad in some ways. There are practically no queues, all inspections are fast, and passport control is automated. If the destination is in the south of Dubai, it is quite convenient. There is a duty-free service, but not much.

It's a small airport, there's a queue in the business lounge, and it doesn't meet the expectations of the business lounge. In Pulkovo or Vnukovo, for example, a business lounge is much better. The toilets are poorly cleaned at the airport.

A new airport! If you are flying from Russia or any other country, there is a good Dutik at the exit from the airport with pleasant prices! On departure, too, the dutik is good and the prices are lower than the Dubai Mall for perfumes and so on! There is a lot of choice !

The new airport. It's funny that upon arrival in Dubai, it is at this airport that they issue a SIM card with free gb for 24 hours, and then you can replenish it. Very convenient. It is activated quite simply and 2 hours after arrival.

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 small, and the VIP lounge area is also tiny and cramped. The organization of boarding is terrible, flights are not announced, some man was late for the flight, stood at the counter proving that he arrived on time and waited for them to call for boarding. We waited an hour on the plane for the luggage to be loaded.

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!

It is very easy to get to Almaktum airport, from the center of Dubai along the red line to Expo2020, from there by bus 55f to the airport, payment by card is the Dubai troika. A soft comfortable bus, going to the end. There is a soft zone near the only cafe at the airport where you can comfortably sit. The airport hall is empty, all the shops in the sterile zone are duty free, there is everything there, you can buy good alcohol, sweets, perfumes for 200-300 dirhams. There are no teletraps, they are being taken by bus. The urgent advice is to get into the cabin first and have time to take a place for hand luggage, otherwise they will be handed over to the baggage compartment and you will have to receive it together with the checked baggage upon arrival in Russia, and this is fraught with opening suitcases.

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

The best airport in the Middle East! It exclusively serves flights to cities of Russia and some countries of the USSR. Perfect cleanliness, sockets, drinking water fountains. It is located far enough from the city, but it is very convenient to get by bus from the metro station Eskspo 2020 and from the city center. There is absolutely nothing around, and nothing at the airport itself distracts from waiting for the flight.

The airport itself is small, most of the biometrics do not work at the control and they get in a huge queue at one customs officer. It is not clear why it is impossible to put 10 of them in jail, because people stand for hours. If there is access to the business halls, it is very cozy, better than in St. Petersburg and Moscow time, but the number of people is limited.

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.

Unlike DXB, there are very few people, a modern, clean airport, parking is 100 m. taxi is 50 m. This was my first time at this airport. But it's a long way to get to the usual places in Dubai, 70-80 km and not cheap if you take a taxi: Lexus is about 250 AED, classes above 300 to 600 AED.
