If you are tired of you tired and worn out local airport in the US/UK, then don’t come to Dubai, as you may get angry at you local airport authority for running such a crap airport.
Dubai Airport (DXB) was recently named the best airport in the Middle East according to Skytrax. The airport is home to Emirates, which accounts for 50 per cent of all flight movements in and out of the airport.

It is a spacious airport and easy to get around, despite all the building work going on outside. There is a metro line being constructed out the front and a terminal expansion (which is out of the way of the current operating area).

As if it wasn’t enough to have one great airport, Dubai is currently building a second airport, the Jebel Ali Airport – Dubai International Airport City. Keeping with Dubai’s current construction theme, this will be big! 6 parallel runways, 4.5 km in length, each separated by a distance of 800 metres, and of the 6 runways, 4 can be used simultaneously. The Airport City will cover 140 square kilometres.
