Dubai International Airport



Dubai International Hotel in Dubai International Airport.


Dubai airport is one of the most crowded airport in the world. From first floor, I can see the crowd at the ground floor.


From far, I thought this are real trees, until I go very close to it than I found out they are artificial trees. There are many this type of artificial trees in the airport.



On the way to the departure gates, there is this wall painting on the left hand side, it's very special.


This is the internet access lobby, there are many passengers using computers provided to surf net. There are also wireless internet access point, but due to high usage, the speed is very slow. To connect to Yahoo and show the home page, it took me about 1 minute.

I was thinking of using the internet access to send a message with my laptop, but finally give up because too slow (unable to connect).



This is duty free shop selling jewelry. There are many customers in this stall. According to my friends, gold price in Dubai is considered cheaper than in our country.


When come to Christmast and New Year, there are many lucky draws in most shopping centers, even in Dubai Airport. You just need to spend 1,000 dirham (about RM 1,000), you are entitled for a coupon for lucky draw to win this car.


At the other corner of the airport, there is another car to be won.


This one is a motorbike for lucky draw.


This is one of the souvenir stall in the duty free zone.

Dubai Airport!!! :)

I was there for 9 hours transit. Yup.. very crowded. When I arrived there around 6 am, gosh... it's people flood.

Then it feels so international since all the people who work in that airport are from different nationality (I think), the cashier is chinese, the salesman is like malay, the bodyguard is a big black man, the waiters is indian, the cleaning man is like arabic, etc.

Yeah, in Dubai, you will find people from many other countries. Most jobs are filled by outsiders. I think one of the reason why the airport is so crowded is because the transit in Dubai airport taking too many hours. Many passengers got stuck in the airport for nothing.
