A modern and very large airport! I happened to visit it while on a transit trip. Everything is quite simple and clear. Where are the exits, where to go, where to take pictures is appropriate and how to find your waiting place. As often happens modestly somehow with the places of charging phones... But there are no problems with connecting Wi-Fi at all!!!
Everything is clear, there is no price escalation, 0.5 liters of water in the vending machine costs 1 dirham, tea and coffee cost 2-3 dirhams. Wi-Fi is free and connects without popol and registration. There are a lot of empty seats in the waiting room.
Excellent, convenient small airport, there is a Wi-Fi connection for free. As for duty free, it's better to buy in the very first one, it's big, like it's after the passport counter, it's a few dollars cheaper there.
In general, it is clean and comfortable, not as refined as in Dubai, but everything is very competent and harmonious. In general, I am happy with the arrival, the interaction with the border service and the attitude towards tourists.
I liked the airport. Clean, cozy. Passport control passed very quickly, there was no queue. There are a lot of free places to wait. There is a smoking area.
A clear airport. Everything is nearby. One terminal, fast customs. Don't get lost and don't waste a lot of time. There are a lot of seats, which does not happen in all air harbors.
A convenient small airport. There are exchangers, shops, cafes. Registration is quite fast. It feels like there are fewer security checkpoints than in Russia
It is not intuitively organized. Navigation is bad inside the terminal. In the departure waiting area, you sit in an aquarium, if you need to go to the toilet while waiting for the plane, or buy something in duty free, then alas. It is better to go there just before entering the plane. The business hall is decent.
Despite the frightening reviews I read before the trip, I liked the airport. I didn't see a small, large crowd of people. There are duty free and cafes where you can pass the time. Good wifi. With the boarding inspection, they are not zealous, they are allowed to take at least half a liter bottles of water on board. From the comments, slow passport control for entry. But electronic and fast to check out.
It's a very small aerobat, but you get through everything quickly, everything is well organized. There is practically no duty free

An excellent airport, there is a place to have a snack, of the minuses, the exchange rate in the city is a little more profitable, outlets are not conveniently located.
I like clear, clean airports. This is exactly such an airport. Everything is clear, fast and efficient. They were from all over the world. The staff is attentive, seasoned and friendly.
Great airport!
Clean, modern and compact. Polite staff. Quick passage of passport control. There are several currency exchange offices. Pointers are everywhere, don't get lost)
It's not a big airport. Due free is very small, but you can buy alcohol and cigarettes. The airport is dirty, it is poorly cleaned, the dirt is diluted with rags
It's not a bad airport.
The business lounge is available through payments or through a banking program
Bus number 99 to the station, from where you can walk to the aquarium or beaches.
Quick preflight inspection. A lot of small cafes, expensive. The interior is very modest, clean. Duty free with a small assortment.

It's not a bad airport. It's a bit difficult to navigate, but the individual AirArabia counters are like a good business lounge. The number of people is always decent.
A small airport, but very comfortable, fountains with water, a lounge area from 30 dirhams in 10 minutes, a large food court with normal (!!!) for airport prices
I want to write a review on how to navigate around Sharjah airport, and find our flight to Domodedovo (Moscow). It turned out that I was looking for reviews myself, but I didn't find it, I hope my review will be useful to someone.
So, I flew to Dubai via Sharjah airport, because I flew there and there were a lot of tourists, I followed everyone like a caravan and everything was clear and not scary)). It was pretty quick: we passed passport control, looked at the pole, checked the retina, then checked the luggage and already at the exit the sign of our tour operator was there and everything was told in Russian on which transfer we should go to Dubai and which driver to go for)). But back... Also, of course, we were brought to the airport by transfer, at 6 am, I was already there with the child, departure at 8-20. But... I was hoping there would be someone else)) but it turned out that there is no one nearby, not a single Russian))) Of course I didn't take a lot of pictures, it's impossible because)))I will tell it like this. When you go to the airport, there is a huge hall and hangs (as we have an infotable) and our flights are written there, I searched as in the ticket (I knew my departure number) for example, it was G9 954 (circled in yellow)
As soon as I found my departure on the scoreboard, numbers 7-17 appeared next to it and it glows green, so they started taking passengers. In this huge hall, the post office near the entrance, where it is fenced with red stripes, you just have to start entering there, show your flight and they will show you where to go with their finger))) Well, who is tight with English, I mean))) I don't understand it badly, but I'm still not an ace)). In general, I went to the window, so let's say number 7, they weighed my suitcase there (by the way, by weight, I had one large suitcase for two, 24 kg weighed and 160 cm, they allow 20 kg per person in luggage, and if one, then up to 32 kg) and I will immediately say that in UAE alcohol is difficult to buy where and expensive, so I was taking vinishko there, they allow up to 4 liters per person)))
Seats cannot be booked immediately on Arab airlines. And I was given these tickets and my son and I were in different places ..., I stressed where the rooms are)). I probably should have asked separately to sit next to me, but I'm always scared at the airport, so I didn't think of it)))And my son is 14-not small). I was also given a scan code, our favorite state services popped up there, and I had to fill out a questionnaire for entering the country, everything is about coronavirus there... well, I filled it out, but no one checked on arrival)).
Well, they told me in English 25... And that's it, I'm off... Which is 25... And then it came))) look at the ticket- Gate25!!! Then you need to look at the top of the numbers hanging everywhere with arrows, and mine is 25))) I went to the room, there was also a check of hand luggage and in general the whole trunk))they threw out the water, and followed the signs to the 25th exit and found it)))
We sat down next to each other and waited for the flight)) as soon as the employees took their seats, we came up with tickets and passports, and we were launched into the bus and then into the plane).
To the toilets)) the women's did not work, only in Gate 22))) by the way, you can drink water for free there, there is a cooler, just next to the toilets, there are cups there, and, most importantly, you need to put a glass under the tap, and so that the water flows, bring your hand under the tap, and the water will flow from the sensors, not it is necessary to press or unscrew something like we have))) see the pictures, it's drawn there, how to use it))
Everything is the same as Aeroflot)) only flight attendants speak English)). fly 5 hours (if you see 6 hours on the ticket, then take into account the time difference, in the UAE an hour ahead)
Wi-Fi is free there, I found this FLY-FI network a fast Internet
In general, do not be afraid)). Everything will work out for you if suddenly there is no one to go for at the airport))
A small high-level airport. Everything is clean, it is clear where to go and what to do. The staff is polite and attentive. A comfortable waiting room.
The size of course cannot be compared with the airport in Dubai, but it is beautiful, clean, modern. There were decent queues on arrival, but the staff tried to distribute the flows.
I don't understand the negative reviews, it's quite a decent airport (home for Air Arabia). I didn't notice any dirt or smoky rooms. The toilets are also very decent. By registration, everything is quite compact, intuitive. If you ask at the counter, they will give you seats nearby without any problems. The staff is very friendly. Dutik, of course, is not like in Dubai, but it covers the basic needs. It is much more convenient for those arriving in Sharjah or Ajman, it is through this air harbor. Buses for tourists stop near the exit, it will not be difficult to find.
We flew through this airport, we were very worried in vain, everything is very clear and simple, we quickly checked in, there is a good duty free there, and even alcohol, we bought Baileys and were happy because it is no longer to be found in Moscow. I didn't like the fact that they took us by bus to the plane, they waited a long time for it to start.
Very small. If there is a big transplant, there is nowhere to go. There is a business lounge, but it is only 3 hours and there is a hotel right at the airport. It is located behind the duty free zone. That's where we went. $ 130 for 12 hours 😁
Everything is clean, the staff is competent. Drinking water can be poured for free. The Internet is free for 1 hour.

An airport employee helped me check in, put my luggage on the tape, explained where and how to get through. All the airport staff with whom I communicated were treated with respect, politely communicated, smiled, so I'm sitting waiting for a flight to Russia, I imagine what a contrast awaits me there
Super inconvenient airport. There is no normal waiting area after passing all the stages of the inspection.
The flight was delayed, which was not reported in advance, and there was not even a toilet in the small hall where passengers were waiting for departure. To go to the toilet, it was necessary to coordinate this with an airport employee.
Registration, inspection, everything is very fast. The airport is clean, the staff is friendly. There are signs everywhere, it's impossible to get lost, even without knowledge of English. In Dutifrey, who asked, they sell alcohol.
This airport has 5 stars for the fact that you go through the dooty free, getting off the plane to the baggage claim area. Russian Russian and if you are a resourceful Russian, then you will catch another understanding Russian flying back to his homeland and ask him to help you buy a bottle of strong drink with you (life hack) p.s. naturally for your money, but with his/her ticket and passport, do not thank him.
People of all stripes and nationalities, there is a small and fairly good duty free, the smell in the men's toilets is indescribable. There is not enough space in the waiting rooms and in order to sit down, you need to take the initiative.
We checked in our luggage very quickly, checked in and passed passport control. It is not clear where all the people are. There was just no one there. Everything is well organized.
After passport control footcourt. I was surprised that the cost is not overstated, but exactly the same as in others, for example, McDonalds, and Dubai.
However, there was one trouble. We were in Ramadan. So, perhaps the pilgrims occupied all the tables. They were given food. After that, they just sat there and didn't eat. Taking up a lot of space. Just waiting for the sun to set, probably. While other people couldn't sit down. I'll attach a photo.
Wi-fi is flying and it's free
The airport is terrible, stuffy, a lot of people, there are no places to even sit down, the airport is crowded. There are no conditions with a small child
It is only 20 minutes by taxi from our hotel. A little incomprehensible system of passing all the frames. Our customs clearance was generally quick and easy, we have biometrics, there are no queues. Naturally, we broke away in Duty Free, but there are few places to eat here, purely McDuck, subway and wok. And there is nowhere to sit in the food court area, I had to eat standing up. And the mcduck is tasteless))) and I asked for sweet and sour sauce for French fries, and they put ketchup and barbecue, I don't eat them, plus big mac is dry and tasteless.
It's not convenient. There are few outlets. It is not always possible to sit on the food court. The only advantage is the rapid passage of the borders on departure. Without the slightest gloss

A good compact airport, the prices for food and shopping in dutiki are quite acceptable. There are business halls where you can comfortably spend time
I liked the priority check-in 24 hours for airarab, you can check in your luggage immediately upon arrival, check in and check out, then walk around the duty free and food court. It's a pity that many perfume samples are empty, but the choice is worthy.
In principle, an ordinary provincial airport, except for the fact that Pakistan and similar countries mainly fly through it. Citizens of these countries do not know what a queue is, and when you go to the toilet at the airport, you will be blown away.
Haven't been to this airport since 2018. How much everything has changed for the better!! You can be informed at every corner where to go, how to get through and all this with a soul and goodwill! Attention!!!- the first airport in the UAE, where they did not force to throw out the water! But I didn't know and threw it away). If you do the same - no problem - after the tape at the gate waiting area free water, disposable cups! Everything, absolutely everything for people! With each trip we fall more and more in love with this country.
On the one hand, everything seems logical and compact, on the other hand, there are very few places in waiting areas.
There is a food court, prices are not overpriced, the same McDonald's is the same as in the city.
There are smoking rooms, even in the departure waiting area.
I liked the airport. The service is fast and high-quality. There are many shops on the territory of the airport, the prices are adequate. Air conditioners are working so that everyone feels comfortable
