Just a gorgeous airport, quiet, calm, everything goes quickly and smoothly) The only small disadvantage is its remote location...As a plus for smokers, there is a smoking room, very decent)
A free, clean airport. I really liked that the waiting area was carpeted and the baby was running around in socks. I didn't have enough playroom for a child.

I really liked the high-tech airport. Beautiful employees in national white clothes are on control. A free welcome SIM card is issued at the control. Retinal scan. Everyone is very friendly. The airport is spacious and clean.
On the way back, no stamp is required, just a scan of the passport. It's like going through a turnstile.
The new airport in Dubai is Al Maktoum. Due to the low workload, there are free parking lots, the absence of crowds of passengers. A fairly simple, unassuming design. But the sparseness adds advantages.
It has a McDonald's, a duty-free trade area, a window with staff for tax free registration (unlike vending machines everywhere installed in Dubai for tax free refunds). However, there are no business halls operating under loyalty programs with Russian banks.
A small airport is located far from the city, so it's better if you go from here to live somewhere in Dubai Marina or neighboring areas, get closer. And so, everything you need is here, but without the luxuries and a bunch of boutiques. By the way, the price for souvenir chocolate is lower than in the Dubai Mall.
The airport is new and spacious.
In addition to the classic checkpoints with employees, it is equipped with an automatic border control system.
The downside is the lack of a subway, which you have to take the slow F55 bus to the Dubai Expo 2020 station.
There is a relatively small DityFree.
It's a great airport. Wi-fi is working, carpets on the floor, cozy. There is an opportunity to work in a pleasant environment while waiting for the plane.

A stunning modern airport. Everything is clear, accessible and convenient. The toilet is magnificent. The staff is wonderful. Water is not taken away, as in Russian airports. Taxi fare is five, dutifrey is expensive.
A new modern airport, where flights from Russia mainly arrive at the moment. There are practically no people in between flights. Everything is clean. Friendly staff. Customs can be passed without contact with customs officers - by scanning the passport if the retina of the eye has been removed. At the exit from the arrival area, there is a shop where you can buy bus and subway travel cards. The cost of the card is 25 dirhams. During the daytime, a bus runs every half hour to the Expo 2020 metro station, there is no problem to leave. There are not many food outlets, there is a Costa coffee shop and vending machines with drinks.
I was at this airport in 2024, of course, I did not fly from there, since I was not allowed on my flight, but in principle it is a good airport. The guard speaks Russian, the staff is very helpful , they bought me a free drink .Thanks!!! It 's a bit expensive to get to the Marina from here , but it 's possible .
A good airport, the staff are polite and friendly. Everything is clean, there is a carpet on the floor in the waiting room. A large selection of goods in duty-free.
Clean, clear navigation, but there are nuances: a giant territory (actually, like Dubai itself: until you get from point A to point B, you will get tired). In the Arrivals sector, there is no infrastructure at all, only a taxi, boarding a bus, several metal rows of chairs and one shop. The Departures sector is a little more fun: there is a duty free with souvenirs and sweets, there is McDonald's and a coffee shop. I didn't find a business lounge. And I haven't seen a smoking place. In general, the airport is extremely unpopular among tourists from European countries, the taxi driver asked several times if we had definitely not confused the airport. In fact, you can even play football inside - no one but a meager handful of people from the charter. Inside, near the gate, there are also plenty of places to sit.
It is a very beautiful and convenient airport. The architectural highlight of the city. The shape of the roof resembles sand dunes. The designs in the interior are made in the likeness of petals. Very impressed!
I recently traveled through Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and was very pleased with my experience. The airport impresses with its modern terminals, which provide passengers with many amenities, including restaurants, cafes and shops.
The airport staff was very attentive and friendly, and they tried to help us with any questions. Thanks to the good organization and structure of the airport, we easily found the right terminal and took off on time.
I also appreciated the convenient location of the airport, which allowed us to quickly get to our hotel in the city center. Metro, buses and taxis were easily accessible at the airport, which made our trip very convenient.
Finally, I want to mention the security of Al Maktoum Airport. It has a high level of security and we felt safe throughout our journey.
Overall, I am very happy with my experience at Al Maktoum International Airport. It provides a high level of service, convenient location and security, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to visit Dubai.
In comparison with Russian ones, calm, quiet and smooth, no sideways glances and piss-soaked toilets with a smell. Cleanliness, customs officers are polite but slow, they do not know Russian, but on the fingers of those who do not know English, you can always explain yourself to them, they will always help. Souvenir shop "Frome Dubai" prices for souvenirs are not higher than in the cities of the UAE, some souvenirs are even slightly lower
I don't know how to evaluate the airport as a whole. The airport is small, everything inside is clear/logical. We had no problems with arrival and departure. The staff is polite. There are few people. The toilets are the cleanest! There are cafes and shops.
A quiet and peaceful airport. There are few flights, this is not Dubai airport. No fuss, everything is very clear, there is a lot of space. Probably only get there by taxi.
An excellent airport, sparsely populated, clean everywhere, there are many outlets for charging, there is a McDonald's cafe, duty free, a cafe with draft spirits and beer.
Big clean one. Quick registration. Comfortable inside. The range of duty free is large. Taxi free works quickly and efficiently. The cafes and restaurants are excellent and delicious.
The airport is small compared to the rest.
There is a floor in the waiting area. Shot by carpets.
The children were running and no one was worried about slipping.
There is everything.
Duty-free.
Bar (50 local money for a Heineken glass)
McDuck.
A normal airport is big and clean. You can take the F55 bus from Expo 2020 Metro station. Or by taxi it is not very far there - about 25 km probably and not very expensive - within 100 dirhams.
The disgusting organization of passenger check-in for departure. The staff is inert and disinterested . artificially created queues. The check-in counters do not have a common electronic scoreboard, you have to look for your flight by reading the inscriptions above the counters, an unfriendly atmosphere is uncharacteristic for the Emirates as a whole. It 's difficult to get there .compared to an international airport
The spacious airport, clear navigation, is better than in Russian air terminals. There is a cafe in the departure and arrival area, the sockets are universal, which is very convenient.
It's just super! The staff, air conditioners, will show you, conduct... Dear mother! Yes, that's how I lived!!! Well done! Keep it up ! I want more... Alla birsa!
The airport is relatively large and empty:mostly Russian flights and a couple of flights to Europe)))There is a souvenir shop and a duty free (small), cafes are located on the second floor:coffee shop, McDonald's.The exits are on the ground floor, we get to the planes by bus.Repair work is underway in some places.
The airport where most of the Russian airlines arrive. It's clean, there's free Wi-Fi. If you need to change money, do it at the exit, there is a red shop there, the course is better there. Silver city travel cards are also sold there.
There are comfortable rest rooms at the airport, and benches allow you to lie down, you can sleep for a while. There are European—style outlets, drinking water fountains, several duty-free shops and coffee machines in the clean zone. The inspection is very loyal, carry at least one and a half liters of water, they do not take it away
Pros - all cheap airlines fly here. And despite this, there is quite a decent service here, there is everything you need, even alcohol can be taken in duty-free.
Cons - it costs a lot to get to the city center.
The Union Pay card works. I left by taxi without waiting with a driver looking for a passenger at the price of yango. I was there only on arrival, I was flying from another airport, so I can't tell you about the departures.
A convenient airport, everything is clear and understandable. The responsive airport staff helped to figure out where and how to get there. I especially want to evaluate the currency exchange office. They exchanged my money for dirhams with the most favorable rate, completely without commission, which surprised me very much. They helped to issue a travel card with which the message of public transport moves. Buses from the airport run frequently. A huge plus is that at the airport they immediately distribute SIM cards of the local network with the Internet for a day, which helped a lot, there is also an opportunity to replenish the SIM card and choose a tariff convenient for you. Registration is fast, everything is simple and clear. I spent more than 12 hours at the airport waiting for my flight and I can say that this is the most calm and convenient airport I have been to. Unless taxi drivers are very annoying.
A huge disadvantage is that there is no electronic registration. And boarding is only by buses. But there are not very many people, as there are not many flights either. There have been more stores in a year and a half. And lots of places to wait
Spacious, clean. Check-in is well organized, queues of passengers are quickly sorted out. Passport control is automated by biometrics, everything is super!!!
Everything is decent inside the airport. There are individuals of Central Asian appearance who are trying to transfer a laptop to tourists from Russia for transportation in a hand-held treasure. Be responsible and careful! I flew with Victory, I do not know who they hire for luggage, but in fact a suitcase with a broken handle arrived and it was clear that they either walked or jumped on them. Since there is apparently no choice, the Victory company does not care (economies of scale), I strongly advise you not to fly with decent luggage and carry valuables in your luggage. Then fly through the central airport.
A quiet, sparsely populated, comfortable airport. Everything is clean . Quick passport control. The staff is friendly. Duty free is only a couple of shops. There are exchangers, there are no queues - the currency was changed quickly and without problems.
It is spacious, clean and empty. It's a pity that it's far from the main Dubai, but even here there are inexpensive options to get by bus and metro to where you need to go
This is not the main airport in Dubai. Therefore, there is no usual space with countless shops and business halls. But in general, a normal small airport. You can only get to the city by taxi (there is no metro). Choose a taxi with a meter and follow the navigator so as not to get a "surprise". We got a taxi to Dubai Marina there for 3800rubles, back for 2400 rubles.
