Perhaps the most comfortable airport I've ever been to. Russia, China, Thailand, Turkey, Egypt. The UAE is the best)
The airport is small, all inscriptions are duplicated in English, the check-in and departure area is not difficult to find. There are smoking areas at the airport. Terminal 2 has a smoking area even in the immediate supermarket area. Drinking fountains are installed
Anyone who arrived in the UAE for the first time and is not in the database, I recommend that you be very careful and follow all the commands carefully when passing through the inspection, stand only on the footprints on the floor, press your passport tightly against the scan, look wide-eyed into the cameras, after the second unsuccessful attempt they are sent for a longer inspection, and on the return flight There will also be closer attention at home than to those who passed the inspection on arrival the first time.
We were in Terminal 2. To be honest, I expected more. An ordinary airport, nothing so amazing or surprising. Maybe other terminals are better, but I haven't been there. Even an airport is too simple for such a rich country. Check-in counters serve multiple flights at once, there is one single queue, an employee stands there and directs. To enter the business lounge in Terminal 2 (and there is only one business lounge), I had to stand in line for 40 minutes. People leave the hall, then the staff launches new visitors in portions. There is only one room inside (a single open space), the food assortment is small, and there are many flour products. It's very difficult to find seats, everything is occupied. Dutifrey didn't like it either, there are no prices for some items, you ask the cashier, he says one price, another price is displayed on the screen, and as a result, the third one is in the receipt. The departure lounges in front of the exits themselves are also, as a rule, all completely filled with waiting passengers.
Everything is great, the airport is not very large in size, the airport staff is friendly and tries to help in case of difficulties. If you don't speak English, you can use the translator app. Duty free is large, with a huge assortment.
It's a good airport with large terminals.Last year we flew from the main terminal, this time from the transit terminal, everything is clean and cozy everywhere.Each terminal has its own shops and exchangers with almost any currency and at a favorable exchange rate.
A large airport, where the staff copes quickly enough, customs control officers are friendly, know Russian, arrange everything, scan biometrics. There is a cafe in the waiting room where you can have a snack, but you still need to look for places to eat at the table or wait. The Duty Free price tags for this period are quite equal to the cost of the same thing that is sold on our sites. There is not enough room in the hall either. Boarding is always by bus to the plane.
Terminal 2 for Russia, Nepal, etc., is much more modest than terminal 3, but there is everything you need, a large area with a cafe, enough space to wait, there are shops and currency exchanges.
It does not differ in gloss, but there are upholstered chairs on which you can wait for boarding your flight.
A large terminal, it's a pity there is no direct metro line, fast check-in, a convenient waiting room, there is a place to eat and shops where to buy souvenirs and gifts, minus, of course, that boarding passes through the bus.
Convenient, modern, there are exchangers, large Parking for cars and taxis, you can drink water for free from a fan as before at school, sometimes the airport can not cope due to the high passenger traffic!
Excellent and convenient terminal, everything is there, clean, friendly staff, lots of shops and cafes, restaurants for every taste, duty free and everything else)
The United Arab Emirates is now the friendliest country, where tourists from Russia will receive the warmest welcome. Beautiful sea, beaches with the cleanest, white sand, which is cleaned daily. And of course, as locals in a bank or other place, they are very friendly.At the hotel, at the airport, you will mostly have to communicate with Indians, Filipinos, and even people from Africa. The airport in Dubai is like a huge city, but everything is arranged so that tourists can feel comfortable.When checking luggage, tourists are not subjected to humiliating inspection. luggage. Know that Russians will receive the friendliest welcome in the Emirates. I was also struck by how respectfully the Sheikhs are treated there, their portraits hang in hotels, on billboards in the city, no one would think of speaking disparagingly about them or expressing dissatisfaction with their policies and rule.
Check-in is not very fast. But customs and border control is very fast. There is a duty-free service (although there is only one, but not a small one). There is a Poppy, there is a smoking area. There are a lot of people in the waiting room, but you can find empty seats
Just one frame. Everything is very fast. One of the disadvantages is that it can take a very long time to get from the plane to the airport.
The toilets are very clean, unlike Sheremetyevo and others. I was not in the business hall, but there was a long queue there.
Good morning!!!this airport, it needs to be seen how everything is done correctly and clearly, it is thought out how many people are served around the clock in the process, in general, this is the best thing for me that I have seen, no deviations from the schedule, clean everywhere... Well, in duty-free shops, as in a good museum, I looked and went on.... After a vacation with price tags, we are not on the way!!!
An excellent airport with such a passenger flow, everything is clearly organized.Purely taken.toilets.
There are many power points.The business lounge is working well.The staff is helpful and friendly
I thought that there would be a Wow airport, the second terminal is small with a lot of traffic, sometimes people are like sprats in a jar. I liked Moscow airports more in terms of space and navigation, and the third terminal is more spacious.
It should be noted that despite the large number of people, all inspections and inspections take place quickly enough.
The feature of the airport is a free taxi around the airport on electric cars, it's cool.
The airport level is high. Cleanliness, order. I'm warning our tourists! Do not try to climb over the fences, they will send you to the end of the queue)
Checking documents is fast, but you will have to stand in line on arrival or especially on departure. And change the currency at the airport upon arrival in Dubai, the most profitable exchange rate there. We changed immediately at the airport, the exchange rate was 3.98 (dollar per dirhams). The tour operator will then explain to you where you can change and what you need to look for the most profitable course of at least 3.65 and you won't find it anymore. So there was more at the airport!!!
A fairly compact terminal. The prices in the souvenir shop are lower than in the city. The inspection was quick. There was no queue at the time of my stay. But it already needs to be repaired-it feels like it's being used only for budget airlines.
It's a great airport, there are a lot of flights, but at the same time there are no queues, we arrived, and in just 20 minutes we managed to get our luggage, scan, and go outside for the transfer. We were flying back, at first we couldn't figure out where to go for check-in, as a result, an employee came up to us himself, who also spoke well in Russian, helped, explained everything, and we went to wait for the flight, there were a lot of people, but there were seats available
I really liked the airport
I especially liked the smoking room at the airport... She's the best I've met riding around the world.
There is no smell in the smoking room (the ventilation system is very well thought out), there are comfortable chairs and ashtrays...
I took part in a motorcycle raffle at the airport... it seems to me... that I would win it... It was the first time in my life that I bought such an expensive lottery ticket...
The Russian language is known in the country and at the airport... A Russian-speaking girl helped me fill out the lottery ticket
Prices, as in all airports, are exorbitant... it is better to bring sandwiches with you, and tea in a thermos ;)
Terminal two, great. There is plenty of space, there is a place to sit down, wait for departure, have a snack. There are two currency exchangers, a Duty Free, and a McDonald's cafe in the hall.
Excellent airport, excellent duty free, everything is fine, everything is clean, many many many citizens from Pakistan, Iran,India, etc. it is unrealistic to just sit down among your own, but who is not afraid, then everything is fine, there is an exchanger-change dirhams for currency back, if there is of course))))
Small, compact, understandable, clean, there is enough space for everyone. There are many shops-perfumes, gold, souvenirs, olives, sweets and goodies. Where to eat, have coffee or other drinks, everything is there.
It's hard to put 5 stars, I explain why, a huge crowd of people on departure, you can't breathe in the hall, a very small business hall, you can have a delicious snack and even use a bar where there is alcohol, but small smoking booths, this is for smokers, of course, spoil everything, and the smoking room in the departure hall is a torture chamber although for smokers this is an outlet before a long-distance flight, but in general the impression is not bad, I recommend it.
It's a very small airport. In fact, a cottage, cafes and a smoking room, spread out on a small square. There is a queue in the business lounge, the business lounge is also quite small. In general, it is difficult to stay here for a long time.
The signs for moving from the terminal to the terminal are very scarce, and it is not easy to find a place to send a shuttle. And the transfer itself takes up to 20 minutes. When planning a transplant, you need to set aside at least an hour for this event. There are fewer seats for passengers in terminal 2 than there are passengers themselves, even in the few cafes there is often nowhere to sit.
Basically, the terminal is not bad. There are toilets on both sides of the hall with the GATE. There is a trickle of water to collect. But!!! Duty Free is, of course, inferior to the third terminal. And there is no way to go there for shopping. THEY WON'T LET ME IN. WE SAT FOR 10 HOURS.There's a lot of time. But we were not allowed to access the numerous shops of the Third Terminal.
Some disadvantages. The terminal is large but crowded, there are not enough places to relax, there are no alerts about landing, takeoff, and departure at all. In addition to passport control and duty free, no one speaks Russian, the staff does not care, even on board the flight from Russia, the notification and the stewards chatter only in English. and Arabic. One negative.
The terminal is new , but not too spacious. Dutifrey accommodates a large number of alcoholic and food products, but cosmetics and perfumes are minimal. Only Armani is represented from the clothes , but the running dimensions have been disassembled. There are stands with sun glasses.
There are several cafes, but they do not accommodate those who wish, I had to wait and catch a table to sit down to eat. There are few chairs for relaxation. The business lounge is tiny, it's literally a small room. There is a separate smoking room, which is a plus for those who smoke.
In general, it's not bad , but it's a little cramped.
I liked the airport, unobtrusive inspection at the entrance, liquids can be carried, everything you need is there, very clean, they are cleaned continuously, passport control was completed in 5 minutes.
Registration is fast, there is only one inspection - everything went quickly, compared to the Ball. The waiting room is large, there is a place for everyone to sit. We flew to Fly Dubai - it's big, comfortable, they fed us, the pilots speak only English and Arabic.
A very large airport. There is a place to spend time while waiting for your plane to board. There are many Duty-free shops with a huge range of products.
The airport has everything you need for passengers, but there are a lot of passengers at the same time with nowhere to sit. And so the quality of staff service is at the level of everything is fast.
The terminal passed very quickly. And before flying back, it was even faster: the facial recognition system was working. The passport was not stamped on the way back. There are enough seats in the waiting room. Prices at food outlets are affordable, not "sky-high" as at many airports.
Once I watched a whole Discovery movie about the airport on TV, so it seemed to me like a wonder of the world there. As a result, Terminal 2 is a small hall, dear Dutifrey, the only crowded business hall. But more or less clean and polite. I lowered the ball so that they wouldn't expect a miracle.
At the entrance, they meet and help to go in the right direction of departure, the luggage was taken for two without dividing by the weight of each passenger (it is very convenient if the bag of one passenger weighs 10 kg, and the other-26 kg). The organization of the movement of passengers by a "snake" helps a lot-there is no crowd effect.
