Thanks to the staff of Almaktoum airport, at the check-in desk of the flight to Moscow of Pobeda Airlines, who on 21.01.2025 helped to arrange the departure of the flight attendant of the airline Pobeda and her mother. Especially thanks to the employee who said "don't worry" and the employee girl, unfortunately the names were not remembered.

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.
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
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
Overall, I really liked this airport. What exactly: pleasant and helpful staff, few people, no queues, compact, fast, to / from Marina go quickly (30-40 min) and inexpensive by taxi. You can get there by public transport bus + metro. The bus runs according to the schedule from the stop next to the exit from the airport, and the subway is a minute walk from disembarkation from the bus. The bus schedule can be viewed in Google maps - everything is clear.
There are 2 cafes and a small DFree in the departure area. But the delivery to/from the plane is by bus.
The impression is very positive in the departure area: fast, organized, understandable. There is a duty-free store: one large store with perfumes, cosmetics, cigarettes and alcohol, one small, like a pharmacy, and one with souvenirs. Whatever, but it's more than enough for me.
There's a Costa cafe on the second floor (I had breakfast here), Mac. Heineken bar is on the first floor. As far as I'm concerned, you won't be lost either, even with the kids.
But the arrival area is a bit poor: there are vending machines with coffee and snacks, but personally I just didn't figure out how to get coffee. And the only cafe that is available is the same Costa in the departure area, but it is at the entrance, before check-in, you need to make some way with a suitcase.
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 clean. Spacious, free. There are very few people.
The toilets are clean and beautiful, like offices... It's so nice to see the cleanliness. I was changing clothes there.
And in the waiting area, the carpet is dark red in color. It's nice to sit. And the seats are soft and comfortable. And most importantly, peace and quiet. And you don't have to run somewhere... Here's the exit nearby...
though Dutifrey is boring... very... There are no expensive bags or glasses... just like in Sochi. There are no normal spirits either. But this is because it is new and the flow of people is not large. That's why the dude is modest))))
Well, it's not scary... I flew from Dubai to Sochi after New Year's Eve. From heat to heat... That's life...
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 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 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.
It's a good airport. There are carpets everywhere)) Our flight was delayed for 3 hours and the airport offered free soft drinks at McDonald's. It's a small thing, but it feels good. We wouldn't even dream of doing that at our airports. And I was surprised, as in Thailand in Phuket, from a taxi, you immediately go to the airport immediately to the check-in desk and put your suitcase. without scanners, baggage checks for dangerous items, etc. It's very strange to be honest. As it is, everything is cool. Well, we also took 6 iPhones and headphones with a watch back for two. There are a lot of offers at the entrance, don't worry)) Have a good rest!
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.
I liked the airport, check-in and passport control are fast. A clean, small airport. There is a mac and a coffee shop, there are few shops (if someone needs duty free). The staff is friendly, they speak English and will prompt you. The only negative, in my opinion, is boarding a plane through a bus, rather than a corridor. You get on the bus and they take you to the plane, but you don't have to wait for the buses, everything is fast
Excellent modern airport. High-speed free WiFi, you can recharge your gadgets for free.
You are quite comfortable and free to go through all the points, there are a lot of places, there are few people)))
The airport is quite big. Duty free with a good choice. However, the prices in duty free are no longer humane at all. In the departure area, you can only eat at McDonald's and another cafe. And the most interesting thing is that nothing is announced on the speakerphone. From the word quite so that you need to monitor your flight yourself.
There are very few people. We had a flight at 13:50. The check-in and inspection took place faster than ever in my life. There are a few shops, McDonald's, Costa on the second floor by excavator. There is a drinking fountain where you can fill a bottle with water. It is located in a recess to the left of the entrance to the women's bathroom. This toilet is opposite the car, at the end of the row of shops. Or you can buy water from a vending machine for 3 dirhams 0.5 liters. Union Pay RSHB does not accept cards.
One of the disadvantages of the airport is that the metro does not reach here. We took a taxi. Take the ones with the RTA symbol on the side. According to the counter. We got 90 dirhams to Dubai Marina. You can take the F55 bus to the Expo 2020 metro station, then to your station. There are only two branches, red and green.
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!
It's a good airport. The main thing is not as busy as in the center of Dubai. The only thing is to go further to it, but the road is quite comfortable. Good departure duty. Very small on arrival. There is an exchange upon arrival. You can immediately exchange dollars or euros for dirhams. The only thing missing is the food courts. One before the control area and one after. Still, it's not enough. And there is no children's room. Anyway, I haven't seen her. Otherwise, everything is fine.
A relatively small airport. There is a small range of perfumes in duty free, the most popular ones are quickly running out.
Comfortable waiting for the flight. Friendly staff, always ready to help.
Friendly staff.
Everything is clean and tidy.
It is quite comfortable and cozy .
There is a cafe.
Prices, it seemed to me, are lower than at airports in Russia, by 30 percent.
The airport is no frills, but large and convenient. There are a couple of coffee shops and a McDuck for food, there is a good dutik. Large spaces and lots of chairs. The nice thing is that the floor is carpeted.
