"Very monotonous and sprawled"
P Evans (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | Very monotonous and sprawled, imposing long and boring walks. Ineffective information system with flights listed from midnight rather than current time, T3 airport map on website is outdated/incorrect, loudspeaker announcements are often incomprehensible and careless. Few shops with low diversity of content, and overpriced. Inefficient departure boarding with long bus drives. On the positive side, is good is clean and has fair amount of waiting spaces. It looks good from the air but very poor on the ground.

"Facilities are not comfortable"
R Gamelia (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Trip Verified | Airport was not as expected being the capital city of UAE. Facilities are not comfortable for the passengers. On arrival, unfortunately we’re not enrolled in e-gate, we took the long queue and in between the local officers brought some locals and Omanis to skip the line making us to wait longer considering that I have also my kid with me. Hope to experience better service on our next flight.

"one of the worst transit experiences"
Tagwa Osman (Qatar)
Not Verified | The airport has no sleeping facilities that suits all, i can easily rate it with one star and one of the worst transit experiences of my life. Sleeping in the airport is a nightmare and there is only one facility with beds which is the airport hotel and the rates are insane starting from 81$ for six hours and my connection time was 9 hours so you can imagine.

"terminal is surprisingly small and lacks basic facilities"
Nipun Jain (India)
Not Verified | Arrived at terminal 2 on 22/12 and had departure on 2/1/22. The terminal is surprisingly small and lacks basic cleanliness and toilet facilities. Immigration counters are just two so long waiting, same with luggage belt. No f&b facilities as well. Expected better being the capital airport while departing passengers were treated as cattle on account of covid whereas the rules were hardly being followed.

"a good airport but not mind blowing"
Akbar Khan (United States)
Not Verified | It was a good airport but not mind blowing. Just a nice airport to arrive through, plus we had to drive to Dubai for our next flight, so average.

"it's easy to navigate"
Felix Unterhofer (Italy)
Not Verified | I came to Abu Dhabi Intl Airport having flown with Etihad to Bangkok. I was in transit to my flight and I can say that the airport is not that big, it's easy to navigate. Good shopping area and bars. Everything is a bit expensive but you can pay with a lot of different currencies and a lot of credit cards are accepted. The time of transit was good. We made it on time to every next flight. This Review is recommended for the old Terminals. Not for the brand new middle field terminal.

"beyond it's saturation point"
A Karam (India)
Not Verified | Abu Dhabi terminal 1 is extremely congested. In times of a pandemic it is a scary experience and there is a shortage of seating at the gates. The airport looks like it's beyond it's saturation point. Waiting time for check in is high.

"airport is very badly designed"
Dinesh Shinde (Seychelles)
✅ Trip Verified | Abu Dhabi airport is very badly designed. The signage is not proper. It does not have enough gates for direct boarding and most of the time, you are transported by a bus to the aircraft. (Which may take 10 to 15 minutes). If the climate is too bad in Abu Dhabi, you get exposed to that. The temperature was 14 degrees centigrade and none of us had winter clothing. There are very few water fountains and you are forced to buy water. Washrooms are also not enough. There is a transit hotel, which is much cheaper than Dubai, that is a plus point. Duty free shops are not well distributed and many of the items, available at Dubai (like spices) are not available here. Some of the food outlets, do not accept foreign currency, not even USD. The security takes a lot of time. Very few machines are operating even if there is a big queue. When I was there, they stopped the escalator as there was no space!

"Nice but crowded airport"
18 reviews Gyan Fernando (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | Nice but crowded airport. I landed here in the early hours of the morning and already Departures was crowded. As a result there was very little seating and the food outlets were very busy. The airport is nice and Terminal 3 is nicely arranged and sign posted. At the rate that they are going they need to expand faster.
