the registration doesn't work, 5 hours of waiting on the floor, among the posts and a sea of people, they only gave out a bottle of water! they only promise that everything will work, in the end they only mislead! hungry, without conditions, the reim was moved 3 hours later, horror In the photo there is a queue for coffee

Didn’t like duty free. You pick a lipstick for example in Mac corner and it is impossible to try it, and nobody will help you. The samples outed upside up and you can’t see the number and the name of item for no getting out it from the hole. So you should get all of them to find right. And IF you find

Small and thus very efficient - 10 min from entrance to gates. Free parking is just 50 meters away from the entrance (but better check the status as they can make it paid parking anytime). No traffic ride to the city. Best for Palm and Marina areas.

The airport is large and modern. But not mastered yet. There are very few shops and cafes. We saw only planes from Russia. The airport is not busy at all. It's good, but the service is not enough.

I live in Dubai Marina, of course, it is more convenient to get here than in DXB. A very comfortable and intuitive airport with free parking for cars- leaving a rented car, you don't think when the owner will pick it up with subsequent billing, of course, the Dutik is too small, and there is nowhere to eat except for the McDuck, but I think this is for now. You will definitely be met by enterprising merchants of apple products with an offer to transport a couple of gadgets to Moscow for a small fee. It's a pity Emirates does not fly to Moscow Time from here, but it would be the only airport I would use

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!

The airport is great.Parking is huge and free right in front of the entrance.There aren't many people.Everything is clean, the places are full, the toilets are perfectly clean.The service is fast.Upon arrival, they are allowed to scan the retina of the eyes.Everything went quickly for my husband and daughter, but it took me a while for my retina to miss me)) Wi-fi is free, fast and unlimited in time.Maybe the only drawback is that it's too far from some emirates, but it's perfect.When you fly to the airport, look at the bottom..gorgeous pictures open from the illuminator)

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.

The airport is modern, everything is fast and clear without queues. I was especially pleased with the passage of passport control through the terminal using a passport scan. The only thing is to be careful with taxi drivers. At the airport, a taxi company representative announces one price, and upon arrival at the hotel, the driver already announces a completely different one. It's a small thing, but it's unpleasant. It is better to use aggregators, especially Yandex.Taxi is available in the Emirates.

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

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.

An amazing airport! Very convenient! The plane was delayed and we rested at the airport, ate at McDonald's. There is a smoking room on the territory of the airport, comfortable with excellent ventilation. Comfortable and clean toilets with hygienic showers. From the bottom of my heart: 5 points!

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 huge modern building. The information is available, everything is logical and understandable. The big dutifrey store. Cafes are open. A good gift shop. Where you can easily part with the remaining dirhams) there is a lot of space in the waiting rooms, there is always a place to sit down.

A small airport, especially after the main one. There is no metro, there is rarely a bus, but there is a night bus. Taxi 100-120 dirhams to Barsha Heights and 90-100 back. There are few flights, so it is quite free. There is a taxi stand, somewhere in front of 200 check-in counters. There are automatic border crossing stands, for those who are in Dubai again, they save time, if those who did not try to pass there for the first time, it would be even faster. Baggage collection is slow. The Dutik is very small both on arrival and on departure. Cosmetics, if you need it very little, alcohol and tobacco are available, but it is easier to buy in Russia. The business hall is small, the food is rather Indian-style, there is alcohol. An hour before departure, they open the gate and start to drive everyone into it - do not see it, there is not even a toilet in this septic tank. The manager in the business hall shouted "all aboard" and literally kicked her out of the hall. Calmly let it pass by.

Of course, this is not the central airport of Dubai, there are no expensive and interesting installations, many boutiques, etc. But there is a lot of space and few people (mostly Russian-speaking people, because the main flights are from Russia). There is so much space that children can arrange suitcase races (which is exactly what our children were doing). The airport is more than intuitive. Upon arrival at the control, they immediately divide the queue with and without children. An adult's face is scanned, which allows for more rapid control in the future. Upon arrival, they give out a free SIM card, which is valid for exactly one day after activation - convenient. After passing the control, there are shops and currency exchange offices. There are free pump rooms with drinking water at the airport. You can get to the city by public transport (bus + metro) or by taxi. The NOL card (travel card) can be purchased at the store (see photo). The price is 25 dirhams, of which 19 remain on the map - this is enough to get to anywhere in Dubai. The bus goes to the metro station (at night to Ibn Battuta, from 6:00 am to EXPO 2020). The transition from the bus to the subway is very clear, it does not cause difficulties.
About taxis - municipal taxis (with blue and red roofs) are on duty near the airport - they are cheaper than calling through the app.
The departure area is also clear and operational (due to low passenger traffic). The waiting chairs are comfortable. Minus - we boarded through the bus - there were no teletraps either for arrival or departure. In general, I liked the airport because there are few passengers, a lot of space and everything is clear.

Everything is clean and tidy.
It is quite comfortable and cozy .

By the way, the prices in duty free will be pleasantly pleased. The staff is very polite and attentive. And find another public place with a red carpet. It is very pleasant to be here. There is a McDonald's on the second floor, you can't stay hungry

A large, new and modern Dubai airport. It is not heavily loaded with people. The location of the airport is not convenient enough, it is only close to the Dubai Marina area. There are many more enclosed spaces, most likely they will be shops, From the food outlets we saw only McDonald's. Duty Free has Russian-speaking staff.

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.

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..

Nice airport, everything is clean. Contactless passport control. Everything is clear and fast. Duty free is not big. There is a McDonald's, you can have a snack, unfortunately there are no other cafes, but this is a trifle.

A small airport in the distance from Dubai. There are almost no flights, so there are very few people, everything happens quickly and without pandemonium. The disadvantage is that there is nowhere else to have a snack before departure except for McDonald's and Costa Coffee. There is only one business lounge and there is no access to it under the usual premium programs. Duty Free has a fairly decent assortment, there are almost all brands.

A beautiful and modern airport. Everything is clean. It will be difficult to get confused, everything is clear.
It is easy to navigate to the entrance and exit.
There is a convenient steep parking nearby.
