I have never been to Dubai airport and considered it one of the best in the world, but for the first time I found myself there in Terminal 2, this is some kind of transfer point, packed with transit passengers. Many stay there for hours. It is very crowded, not convenient and not comfortable.
The terminal is decent enough, of course it is not the 2nd, the terminal itself is a little more modest, the number of inspection rooms, which affects the queues. Duty free is available, but their quality lags behind the main terminals and the number and quality of food outlets leaves much to be desired.
A very convenient airport terminal, the metro stops right into it, no one checks bags at the entrance to the station, it takes 3 minutes to walk from the metro to the check-in desk, you can arrive 2 hours before departure, you will have time without haste, a good duty free
An excellent airport, a lot of passport control desks. Upon arrival, a free SIM card is issued, which is valid 24 hours after activation. Luggage is delivered quickly, without delay. There is a store with alcoholic beverages at the exit to the city, prices are high.
I used to think that the free zone in Dubai was the most attractive, after the last visit to the airport, I was very surprised by the prices, which are many times more expensive than in some European airports.
There is no queue for registration and passport control. There are many shops, a pharmacy, a cafe. One disadvantage is that there are few empty seats in the waiting room.
A clean, modern airport.The paper control is automatic - you put your passport and the retina of the eye is scanned, the green light turns on- you pass.
Flydubai flew- everything was clear, on time, they were fed on the plane.
An airport with a good duty-free service. Before our exit, we rode by train, which is unusual. But it's impossible to get confused, there are coordinators all around. When the luggage was checked in, there was a Russian-speaking coordinator, so everything went quickly.
The airport is huge. Those who arrived for the first time are given SIM cards that work 24 hours after activation. The inspection is very fast. Follow the signs and everything will be fine.
This gate is designed for third world countries, there are a lot of seats, but the recumbents are fenced and they cannot be used. There are a couple of cafes, that's all. We stayed here for 3 hours.
There is a bus between the terminals, you will die before you get there, if the connection is via Dubai, I personally did not like it. There are a lot of people. There is a smoking room . The trip was a business trip, if it's a vacation, then probably everything will be through a different prism.
3 the terminal is no different from the others. The route is clear, the staff is attentive. However, the workers who issue tickets in Russian are not boom-boom. If there is no English, you need to explain yourself on your fingers. Duty free has a wide selection..
There are not just a lot of people, but a lot of them. The photo shows the queue at the business lounge. In the two or three hours I was in the terminal, it only got bigger.
I will think ten times before flying through this airport.
A good airport! Polite staff, everything is clean and tidy

A wonderful airport, you can easily spend 12 hours, a large number of waiting places, comfortable smoking rooms, very clean toilets, drinking water. Snacking is of course expensive
