If you've called this airport swanky, trust me, you've made an understatetment.
This airport is one of the finest pieces of engineering architecture when it comes to commercial buildings. It is quite an eyeful if you're watching it, especially at night.
The Dubai government spent millions of dirhams (Dubai currency) restoring the old airport face. One particular feature here is the brilliantly designed control tower. It looks like a spaceship ready for takeoff.
The transit areas are magnificently visualized to give it a futuristic look while the lounges; with comfortable seating and service would put even the Sultan of Brunei to shame.
The whole airport is centrally air-conditioned and is managed by efficient airport personal.
The Dubai Duty Free is another advantage that the Dubai airport has over other airports. Providing the finest on planet earth from whisky, wines and toys to chocolates, magazines and electronic goods, the Dubai airport usually handles more than 2 million passengers a day.
If you are rating the best airports in the world, I am sure this one would make it to the top five. Guaranteed.
