The airport is rather empty and boring. Functionally, everything is OK. It's just a general feeling of an airport on the outskirts without any interesting aspects.
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
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.
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.
It is far from the center of Dubai, quite spacious, check-in and pre-flight inspection are fast, there is everything you need for a comfortable wait. The only disadvantage is that they were taken to the plane by bus, through the teletrap faster and more comfortable)
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.
Spacious, clean. Check-in is well organized, queues of passengers are quickly sorted out. Passport control is automated by biometrics, everything is super!!!
Minuses
1.One of the worst airports we've ever been to
2. Far from the city
3. Very slow staff, due to the slowness of the staff, the plane was delayed because they did not have time to register all passengers for the flight, there was a long queue
Spacious and large
Only our flight took off
Everything is fast
There are no queues and scandals
, the scale is simply huge at the airport
They even found a place to eat
This is excellent
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.
Everything is great except Tax free!!! Of the 5 checks, the refund was made from only one without explanation, and what is most surprising is in Russian rubles, but we paid for purchases in dollars, such a refund is not adequate!!!
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.
The airport is new, spacious, few people. Everything is clearly organized. They quickly passed passport control and registration. At the exit from the airport in the arrival area there is a perfume shop at budget prices. We arrived at night and flew away at night too. We took a taxi. When we were driving from the hotel to the airport, the taxi driver staged a whole performance with an allegedly closed road And took us very far to detour. And the taxi is on the counter. Not only did they lose time, they also lost money. Therefore, it is better to agree in advance on the cost of a taxi to the airport
The airport is small, and the VIP lounge area is also tiny and cramped.
The organization of boarding is terrible, flights are not announced, some man was late for the flight, stood at the counter proving that he arrived on time and waited for them to call for boarding. We waited an hour on the plane for the luggage to be loaded.
The staff is terrible. They were not allowed to board the bus, allegedly the boarding had already ended, although people were on the bus and waiting for the bus to leave for the plane. No one announced the start of the landing, except for prayers over the loudspeaker, they don't say anything at all. I had to buy new tickets at another Dubai airport and wait 15 hours for departure.
A large airport. I liked the opportunity to buy back the currency at the normal exchange rate.
It's very stuffy in the baggage claim hall - the air conditioners can't cope.
Of the advantages, the airport is large, there are few flights from here, mainly to Russia, respectively, it is easy to find a place to wait without a large number of people. Of the minuses, the dutik is small, the prices are not particularly favorable with the current course, you can only eat in a makdacha and a pair of identical coffee shops, many closed establishments and shops.
The airport is like at home) in Sochi)) fast and convenient, and by the way, there are a lot of flights to Russia. They helped to go through all the procedures with the child / thanks to the staff

The former cargo airport is making itself felt. In general, the airport is quite ordinary, clean and well-groomed, there is a quick passport control area if you have little luggage, which is very convenient. The dutifrey zone is represented by 2 shops and 3 cafes, there is not much to choose from. The prices at the airport are quite adequate, a liter of water in the device costs 3 dirhams, cola, potatoes and Americano at McDonald's costs 29 dirhams. The coffee machine (latte with cardamom) costs 6 dirhams.
I was lucky and I was flying out of this airport during the flood. An unforgettable adventure :)
I was worried that I would not be able to drive because of the large amount of water around the airport. This would have happened if GMC hadn't come for me, who was able to drive on the water, and I got to the airport on time.
The airport itself is very spacious, at the time of my stay there, food and water were given to all people for free.
The neutral zone is cozy.
Positive : There is no hustle , spacious , clean , modern , good organization , quick passage through all services and checks , polite staff , safe , large Parking lot
Funny miniature airport for Russians) Almost all flights to Russia.
There are no restaurants. There is an overpriced McDonald's on the second floor.
The entire space of the waiting rooms is made according to the "open space" type, which greatly affects the acoustics at the airport.
The airport is free, quick check-in, due to the fact that it is not large, it is impossible to get lost (as I got lost in DXB last year) I issue SIM cards at the control.
It didn't go so smoothly. For some reason, I was checked for a long time. But everything went well in the end. It was clean, everything was clear, but it was a long way from our hotel.
Unfortunately, they announce boarding and take you to the waiting room, which does not even have toilets. Considering that your stress is delayed.
It is convenient to undergo electronic registration when passing through border control.
Big but empty. Clean and tidy. But unfortunately, there are few places to eat. There is a Costa and a Poppy in the departure area. It costs 30 dirhams to wrap up the luggage. Weigh the luggage 2 dirhams.
Great airport. Small, modern, comfortable. Everything is fast and convenient: registration, passport and customs control. Passport control was carried out both times through smart gates. For the first time, the retina was not scanned, passed through the inspector, quickly. Departing, I went through sg again, there was no queue, 30 seconds and passport control was passed. Great! On the territory of aep. pretty smart wifi, connection via authorization by flight number. Duty free with a good assortment, comfortable departure and arrival halls. You can take a taxi from the airport, exit to the right from the arrivals hall, there are a lot of taxis. But I got by bus + metro to the center for 7.5 dirhams with only a nol card. A free tourist SIM card is not issued in this aep (unlike another AEP in Dubai), but there is a mini-office of the du operator where you can buy a SIM with different prepaid tariffs, at least 49 dirhams for 28 days. Google maps, if there is an Internet connection, perfectly show public transport routes from AEP throughout the city.
Ideally , there are few people , quietly , calmly , without fuss , you go through all the levels of verification , there are comfortable places in the waiting area , a carpet , sockets and a smoking room . The few hours of waiting for the landing went fine
A simple airport. Coffee in coffee units is 7 dirhams. For our approx. 200 rubles . Just like in Moscow. Mac duck is disgusting. I took an ice cream cone and coffee. It's disgusting.
