So-so, if you don't know the language, it's difficult, especially at the airport. There is a lot of space, compared to those flying away. You can apply for a taxi, right at the airport, but for this you need to buy a store and tell the taxi company. Be prepared to be told to show the product that was purchased by taxi

It's a good airport, clean, fast, but it's a little far from the center. They don't give you a sim card. You can connect to WiFi without a SIM card. Passport control is divided into smartavia and those who arrived for the first time. Moreover, the employee heard the phrase in Russian "for the first time" and immediately said: here. Go through passport control (you will need to scan your retina - look into the camera, it seems impossible in lenses), then get your luggage, there is also duty free and toilets (you can change clothes), go out into the hall, immediately offer a taxi (in careem it was 200 dirhams) and tell you where the buses are and where to buy a pass - there is a shop “At your service”, you can buy a Silver card in it, but you can't top it up, only in the subway. Following the signs of Public Buses, you go to the bus stop, we were lucky, the F55 bus was already there.
When entering and exiting, you apply the travel card not to the monitor, but below, to the stand with lights. We were lucky, we were traveling with guys who already know everything, told us what to do, where to go. The websites say that the F55 goes to Ibn Battuta (apparently, it's only at night), but we got to the final one - Expo City, took the subway, it also has the final one, so we can only leave in one direction - the right one. At first there were no people at all, then, closer to 16, they ran in, they couldn't get through. The metro has a map with stations (does not match the scheme on the Internet) + an electronic scoreboard and a voice-over of the next station in English. Travel by bus + metro = 7.5 aed., because there are 3 zones.

The airport itself is not big. Of the disadvantages, there is a poor choice of cafes, but in general the airport is like an airport. I didn't come here to eat.
But the most inconvenient thing is transportation. If you do not take a taxi or transfer, but want to drive yourself. There is 1 regular bus to the metro, which runs quite often, every 10-15 minutes, but stops at every pillar. As a result, it's almost an hour to the subway.

A nice fresh ordinary airport, everything is there, there is a lot of space
Not Dubai International or the new Istanbul airport at all, rather something between Sochi and Domodedovo airports

The airport is not bad, but poorly developed. A very modest choice of places to eat and a small Duty Free with a limited assortment (it's better not to count on it).

Everything is top-notch in the UAE, so here too, But this is a cargo terminal , this is a warehouse where flights from the Russian Federation have been added, well, a couple more countries have low-quality airlines, toilets are in terrible condition, this is the first time I saw such a thing in the UAE, one McDonald's cafe for the entire airport, staff paragraph, one duty store Free , the level of the station stall , and that 's it , you can buy one soda machine .

A compact new airport, there is practically no need to walk - you can arrive right next to the departure)
Yes, it is located at a distance from the city, but it is easy to get to the center of Dubai by bus 55 - during the day to the subway, and at night to the end point)
Convenient electronic passport control - Smart Gate

A fairly modest hangar design from the outside) inside is fine, there are many places to wait/ relax, a fast food area on the second floor, clean toilets - located on all sides of the airport and on both floors. The duty-free zone is decent. It feels like it was built purely for 2-3 specific countries and airlines )

Everything is fine, except for the attractions with a free SIM card for a day, issued by kind border guards upon arrival. It is not activated by the word "at all". During installation, the phone does not see it.
The employees at the exit send you to the left, to the Du counter, and at the Du counter you are too lazy to activate it for free, he says that the registration from the border guards has not yet passed.
Therefore, we immediately buy a new 2GB one inexpensively and calmly move in all directions!

I flew from this airport to Moscow at the end of December, in principle, everything is convenient, it is clear that there are no complaints about the staff. There are a lot of Russian tourists, so if necessary, you can ask for some nuances, but in general everything is clear.

Everything would be fine if it weren't for the distance of 50 km, by taxi from $ 50 to some Business Bay, not even to the center of Dubai. I would prefer DXB, but Al Maktoum is huge, and from the Russian Federation, as far as I understand, flights are mainly to it. I even took it specially to DXB - as a result, the Aeroflot flight changed again to Almaktum

The airport is clean and empty. It is long and expensive to get to it, keep this in mind.
Duty free is very small, the choice is accordingly also very limited.
As a plus, customs and check-in are quickly completed. There are no teletraps, they are taking a bus to the plane.

The airport has sunk into my soul because it is very empty, unlike DXB. It always turned out that I flew in DXB Terminal 2, which is absolutely no different from this airport inside. A huge number of taxi drivers at the exit. The only drawback is that it is far from the city, so the taxi is expensive. The average is 150-200 dirhams. If you live further than Downtown, it is possible that more.

A small, empty, not busy airport, everything is fast, very clean, everyone is very polite as everywhere else. If it will be useful for someone, you can get from the airport to the city by public transport-bus f55, you need a transport card nol, you can buy it or top it up at the vending machine at the stop, to the right of the arrival zone, the fare is 5 AED to the EXPO 2020 metro and for some reason 7.50 back

Not a bad, small airport. There is no security at the entrance.
"Local" Russians are rushing around and offering to earn money on the transportation of Sony play station (1 console in 1 hand luggage, they say you get 5 tr upon arrival), but I did not check on myself.
A dutik is more expensive than upon arrival at the same airport)
We took off at Moscow time .
Customs both at the entrance and at the exit is automatic), they do not put stamps, the scanner works)! Super fast, no queues, but that's if you haven't arrived for the first time)

The airport is clean and empty, we stop at the Marina and for us it turned out to be more convenient than the central one 20 minutes by car, an hour from the central one. But the problem is with food and convenience stores... No Starbucks, just Mac and Costa, which we didn't like.

It's just like everywhere else. The main difference is that when you go to the far exit (we had 22), you won't be able to get out at all. Your spine is torn off and you enter the departure area of your flight.
There is a toilet and tap water, but food and Duty Free will be left out. So first the shopping, and then the departure desk.,
There are sockets for charging gadgets.

This is the second airport in Dubai, the one that is smaller. If you don't understand English, there are employees who speak Russian. The airport is clean, navigation is clear even in English. There are small cafeterias, Dutch fries. Comfortable seats in the waiting areas. Places for charging phones with adapted sockets.

A huge and still empty airport. There can be 10-12 flights per day. You arrive - and it seems that you are alone, you also fly away. All shops, all infrastructure - for your flight) at the same time, there are already enough staff, everything goes very quickly, automatic frames at passport control. I liked the DXB terminals 1 and 2 much more

It is quite compact, far from the city. Towards the exit to Abu Dhabi. Registration is slow, passport control is fast, taking into account the biometric passport. Dutifrey is small, so far only McDonald's and Costa coffee are available. There is also a Heineken cafe, a pint of 50 dirhams beer.

It is very easy to get to Almaktum airport, from the center of Dubai along the red line to Expo2020, from there by bus 55f to the airport, payment by card is the Dubai troika. A soft comfortable bus, going to the end. There is a soft zone near the only cafe at the airport where you can comfortably sit. The airport hall is empty, all the shops in the sterile zone are duty free, there is everything there, you can buy good alcohol, sweets, perfumes for 200-300 dirhams. There are no teletraps, they are being taken by bus. The urgent advice is to get into the cabin first and have time to take a place for hand luggage, otherwise they will be handed over to the baggage compartment and you will have to receive it together with the checked baggage upon arrival in Russia, and this is fraught with opening suitcases.

The best airport in the Middle East! It exclusively serves flights to cities of Russia and some countries of the USSR. Perfect cleanliness, sockets, drinking water fountains. It is located far enough from the city, but it is very convenient to get by bus from the metro station Eskspo 2020 and from the city center. There is absolutely nothing around, and nothing at the airport itself distracts from waiting for the flight.

A very convenient unloaded airport. The only disadvantage is to travel far. But you can go from here to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, about the same way.Alternatively, order a gettransfer, pay with a mir card. Most of the flights are from Russia and the CIS. Upon arrival, you can change money at the exchanger, the exchange rate is better here than at other airports. In general, it is very quiet and peaceful, WiFi with the simplest registration.

We flew in and out of this airport. When buying tickets, the travel agency did not recommend us to fly through this airport, they said it was very inconvenient. But it turned out that everything was not so terrible, we did not experience any difficulties.
Upon arrival, you go through passport control and go towards the exit, at the exit you buy a nol card for traveling by transport. The money can be exchanged immediately. But it is better to exchange houses in Sberbank, the exchange rate will be better. You get a card, at the exit you go right to the bus stop literally 100 meters away. The F55 bus takes you to Expo 2020 Metro Station. It runs every half hour, the schedule can be viewed in Yandex Maps. On the way back, you also go to the Expo 2020 metro and then take the F55 bus to the airport. The airport has a very large and comfortable waiting area. There is a large Duty Free, you can have a snack at the Costa coffee shop and Macdonalds there is also a Tax Free

Absolutely comfortable, very sparsely populated airport. There are a lot of parking spaces, no queues anywhere, no fuss. Everything is clear, neat, timely. Check in your luggage, get a boarding pass, entrance, passport control, dutik (souvenirs, alcohol, cosmetics, perfumes, etc.), boarding gate. The staff is very correct, they offer to put doubtful bags in the calibrator, they do not find fault with much, they do not require payment for a small advantage.
It feels like only Victory flies there and from there. The most pleasant impressions.
