A modern and convenient airport. There is a fast and free Internet connection - suitable even for meetings. There are many restaurants and cafes for every taste in the waiting areas. The exchange rate is good, there have never been any problems - you can only get into a long check due to the number of people at passport control
I often use it for transfers and in general for travel. I recommend it)
For transfers to and from the airport, I recommend Yango (this is the same Yandex here). You also order a taxi in the app, only pay with an international card or cash
A magnificent airport. Big, clear. There are many places to relax, fountains with water. Comfortable and, most importantly, very clean toilets. Cars drive back and forth to take you from one part of the airport to another, and it's free. Food prices are not exactly cosmic. There are very interesting racks in duty free, especially with cosmetics and perfumes. They will prompt you everywhere and help you with your choice. At the time of purchase, they were given a beach bag as a gift and a lottery ticket for the game at the airport itself. There are many samples, brands in abundance and abundance. Free gift engraver and packing tape. The three-hour wait for my flight passed very quickly. By the time you look at everything, you need to fly away. There are separate rooms for smokers, which is convenient. Free strollers for children. The luggage was delivered immediately upon arrival, the airport is large, but there are no queues anywhere. Free WiFi.
A large and clean airport, but not the most interesting one. For such an airport, the choice of shops and entertainment is not great. The Perl business lounge is not very convenient. The terrace, where it was possible to sit normally, was closed and only those who fly business or first class are allowed in. The rest of the "plebs" who bought the passage huddle inside with low ceilings and uncomfortable seats. Among the advantages of the airport, we can mention the large number of conveniently located toilets and the responsiveness of the staff
A beautiful new spacious airport with a small number of passengers. There is a free business lounge for Visa premium card holders. There are many shops with souvenirs and branded items, nuts, coffee and cosmetics. The transit capacity is high (there was a transfer of 2.5 hours, of which I had at least 2 hours of free time). You can't take photos in the security area, they monitor this and demand to show your phone with photos. And I also managed to buy an Emirates flag at the airport, which is sewn to a backpack (in Dubai, there are none in DXB, only they are sold in the city).
I really liked Abu Dhabi Airport! It's huge, modern, and well-organized. There is everything you need for a comfortable waiting: lots of shops, cafes, comfortable recreation areas. I was especially pleased with the availability of free drinking water – a small thing, but very nice! You can also charge your phone or laptop without any problems, and fast free Internet makes your time at the airport even more comfortable. A great place to transfer and wait for a flight!
A good airport, lots of space, clean, beautiful, everything is not that far away. It takes about 1 hour to drive from the center of Dubai without traffic jams.
In the Pearl Lounge (business lounge), if you are sent to a more distant room with snacks and sweets, go to the main room and get yourself a hot meal and hot water for tea, hot coffee - since there is no hot food in the snack room, but coffee and tea are cold.
The toilets at the airport are comfortable, clean, and touch-controlled. There are toilets in the halls at the gates, where they are taken before the flight, too, but there are often queues in them, so I advise you to go to the toilet in advance.
Abu Dhabi International Airport is an example of modern and high-quality service. The airport impresses with its cleanliness, convenient recreation areas, a variety of restaurants and shops. There are many amenities to be found here, including showers and spa treatments. Registration and security check-in procedures are fast, and the staff is always ready to help.
I would say that it is head and shoulders above Moscow airports.
However, during rush hour and during transit flights, the airport can be quite crowded, which sometimes creates inconveniences when moving. Prices for food and drinks at the airport can be high, and the cost of goods in stores often exceeds their price outside the airport. Access and navigation may also be difficult in some areas.
A wonderful airport. Very clear: signs and signs are repeated every other meter. You won't get lost. The departure zones are separated by sections. Therefore, it is relatively quiet there, you can relax. In the departure area: seats, sofas, upholstered chairs, lounge chairs for relaxation. We had a connecting flight with a difference of 10 hours, we managed to take a nap on the deck chairs. The toilets are clean, with a hygienic shower. There are a lot of toilets, there are no queues. What I especially liked: the presence of taps with a sink next to the toilet. Just refresh yourself or get some water - drinking water. There are plenty of duty-free shops. Sweet tooth will be in paradise. Prices are in dirhams and dollars. To be paid: cards and cash. If cash is accepted and dollars are accepted, the change will be given in dirhams. Inside the airport, taxi. Cafes: Turkish, Indian, Arabic, European. You can go to the city if time permits.
Among the disadvantages are weak charging panels for gadgets. I can't explain why.
In general, the airport is clean, bright, excellent ventilation, comfortable.
Arrival in January 2025. Everything is fine. The biometrics passage is as fast and clear as possible. No problem.
Departure is a quest. But not because of the airport's own services (everything is normal there, biometrics access, etc.), but because of the organization of the Etihad Airways airline. We didn't expect such a trick from this airline. We have registered online. We arrived on time. We got in line for check-in (the luggage had to be checked in) and... an employee of the company came and persuaded us not to stand in a long (it's true) queue, because there are self registration counters. They believed me. I shouldn't have. Self-check-in was possible for every 5 (if not less), regardless of the flight and the passenger's "home port". Help from one "helper" (his prototype was first shown in a cartoon about Cheburashka - a kitten with the phrase "Do you need help?", which then rode on a log = less than zero sense). The rest of the airline's staff were proudly sitting at the counter, turning the tables on the only field player. The result is obvious. The loss of 20 minutes of time at the non-working terminal and in the queue at the human counters. There, though not quickly, they managed to check in their luggage.
The icing on the Etihad Airways "cake" was that they boarded the plane not through the "pipe", but by bus.
Tip: do not listen to the "assistants", get in line with people to register, arrive earlier.
I repeat, the airport itself is good.
A fantastically cool modern airport. Everything is very convenient, comfortable, intuitive, pleasant. The only thing you need is to dress warmer. The air conditioning is running at full capacity. Outside the window it was +38 and inside the airport it is compensated by the coolness with a vengeance.
A very cool airport created for people. There is a huge market inside, there is everything if you show a ticket) a lot of discounts. There are signs everywhere. Each gate has a separate room with waiting areas, a place to charge gadgets and a separate toilet. The gate opens half an hour before departure, it is fenced with glass and you do not cross paths with other passengers at all. There are separate glass cabins with good ventilation and ashtrays for smokers, located in different parts of the airport. There are travelators everywhere for comfortable travel with luggage. The staff is very helpful. The prices are really on the level. Two cappuccinos cost 1,500 rubles) We visited on the way.
Dear travelers and tourists! If you have bought a transfer ticket to Abu Dhabi, I recommend that you visit the Sheikh Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi! The airport is quite large with high ceilings, a well-designed recreation area and duty free, there is a business lounge with an excellent menu for breakfast and lunch, cafes and restaurants offer dishes of various cuisines to visitors, wide aisles for passenger traffic, clean and comfortable bathrooms with showers, taps with free water and a very friendly, welcoming the staff. Excellent quality of service!
It's huge and very clean! The toilets are perfectly clean. There are a lot of contactless devices everywhere, it's very convenient! The business hall is nice, big and empty! The food is acceptable, delicious coffee and cakes, there are fruits. Wi-Fi is everywhere. The coverage is good.
I love this airport. Free. There are souls. It is convenient to eat at McDonald's. Clean. There are sofas and armchairs, upholstered areas with carpets. Lots of toilets and drinking fountains. The tulets are the purest. If you want to get out, you cross the border very quickly.
It is large, convenient and comfortable for airport passengers. Clean toilets, fountains with drinking water, plenty of places to sit and wait, polite staff. Although the prices in cafes and shops are certainly high. The exchange rate is not very profitable for tourists..
The building is huge and impressive in its architecture. The staff is very friendly and friendly. Everything is clean. There are many different cafes. Duty free shops have a large assortment.
The waiting room is very comfortable.
Cool airport, everything is fast enough, a large Duty-Free zone. The Pearl Lounge is a convenient business lounge, the occupancy is low, the food is delicious, the food is made to order, there are convenient areas for work, no one bothers each other.
The airport from the movies of the future is a fantasy one.
It's much more interesting on arrival than on departure. Therefore, it is necessary to photograph 6 children at once)).
DutyFree is relatively small (not comparable to Istanbul), prices are high, and the range leaves much to be desired.
The food court is weak.
At check-in, employees can chat about their own and do their work extremely slowly and inattentively. Requests to put us next to each other are completely ignored. The service culture is at an average level.
A modern, beautiful airport. We were passing through, we managed to walk a little bit between flights. All the amenities are there. Beautiful architecture, spacious waiting rooms, plenty of seats. Waiting for the flight went unnoticed, because comfortable conditions were created
It's a beautiful airport, big and convenient. Delicious oriental aromas accompany you in every corner of the airport, security is at an altitude. Good shops, cafes. All the staff are helpful and helpful in any matter.
It's a great airport. There are many places for relaxation and comfortable waiting, duty-free shops, VIP areas, smoking rooms, places for relaxation (massage, hotels), exchange offices, a beautiful, modern airport!
An amazing airport. Beautiful, light, clean, comfortable. A huge number of shops, you can have a snack (expensive), exchange currency. An amazing place, a mini city. This banana at the entrance to the toilet area broke my heart 😂💔
Everything is at a very high level!! Huge, comfortable and perfectly clean halls. Clear navigation. The staff is neat and friendly. There are a huge number of duty-free shops in the clean zone.
Excellent airport, modern, clean. Friendly and courteous staff. There are many branded stores for every taste. There is even a store for collectible sneakers. And of course there is a place to have a snack while waiting for a transfer.
It's a wonderful airport.
I especially liked the business lounge. After a long flight and sightseeing, taking a shower and having a snack was just magically pleasant. Thank you for such excellent service and delicious food.
The airport has been renovated. Everything is clean and beautiful. Comfortable waiting rooms. There are signs everywhere. Even without knowledge of foreign languages, you can easily find your waiting area for a flight. A clear board with flights. Shops and restaurants for every taste and budget. But! I take off the star for the inconvenience of checking in for a flight. I.e., for example, I flew with Arabia Airlines to Moscow, and passengers of this airline had check-in for all flights to India, Moscow, Egypt, etc. It's not convenient and it takes a long time. There were about 80 people in front of us. Therefore, I recommend taking this fact into account and arriving in advance.
It is an amazing building both in design and engineering - convenient, simple and delicious. There are few airports in the world that can be compared in terms of convenience and beauty of execution, good food, but for good money...
Cleanliness on the level, comfortable travelators, very beautifully decorated halls, information boards almost everywhere. But charging of electronic gadgets does not work everywhere at the boarding gates, and the Wi-Fi is not stable. In duty-free stores, payment is made only in dirhams, if they accept another currency for payment, then at a very low exchange rate they give change in dirhams.
A large, modern, spacious airport. Comfortable waiting areas with comfortable chairs, armchairs and sofas.
Attentive and courteous airport staff clearly and quickly coordinate the work and direction of passengers
Super convenient, everything is in electronic form. It was the fastest security check I've ever been through. Literally 10 minutes. Everything is beautifully decorated, clean, a large number of shops, a good selection of cafes and restaurants.
A magnificent airport. Beautiful, comfortable,wonderful, perfectly clean sanitary rooms. Free high-speed wifi without confirmation of the number/flight. The staff is friendly. Only pleasant impressions!
