Dubai airport Terminal 1 check in
Huge and tiring line ups at passport control

The central part of B gates
Elevators down to train to A gates
I love this store the most, it has so many nice Dubai souvenirs
Now taking the elevator down towards train to A gates mostly used for Emirates A380 aircrafts
A gates downstairs when exiting the train
Going up towards the A gates
Upstairs and the shopping and gates area
An area turned into a traditional Emirati house- kind of like a small free museum to walk around
I loved these guys- very cool and suitable Arabic design of M&Ms :)
Going back down to C gates where our flight departs from. The train only goes to B gates and you need to walk towards C gates from there.
Back at my gate C17

Thanks for sharing this FR
DXB is only a big mall, a charmless airport
Nice QR flight for this short leg
At least you were lucky enough not having a coach transfer in DOH
Thanks Lagentsecret, yes I waited for the new airport to open otherwise I'd not stand the old one at all. The new airport is nice for sure.
Thank you for the report, as mentioned before DXB is just a massive mall.
Nice political touch at the very start of your report, I see what you did there xD :)
hahaha, thanks. I figured that some would understand what I mean :D
I was shocked that it was possible to find that on a DXB airport's wall : nice cut ;)
Thanks for posting another beautiful report. The Dubai airport really is impressive, but not necessarily in a good way. It's just sooooo huge and overwhelming. But it is great that it has so much to see and do. The QR 777s seem comfortable as they have maintained a nice 3-3-3 configuration unlike so many airlines going to 3-4-3....hopefully it stays that way! Nice to get a snack box for such a short flight. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kevin, Yes, I hope that they keep their 777s as 3-3-3 as it was very comfortable.
