Great offers on Toblerone only at Abu Dhabi Duty Free!

Get a comfy seat near the CR. And order some food and ask them to fill up your water bottle. They gladly do that. Don’t buy the junk they try to push on you, sleep while you wait for your transfer.

Elegant interior design .. Quite small compared to Dubai & Doha Airports .. Well-organized .. Etihad airways is the main operator for Abu Dhabi Airport ..

If you have to stay here longer either buy a ticket to one of the Lounges in Terminal 1 (50$) or be sure to catch one of the comfortable arm chairs in the so called library right before Terminal 1

yes, toilet can be a problem here. sleep next to gate 31, toilets next to gate 32. get a blanket (free) from flight transfer desk, you just have to ask, and also the same for meal coupon.

If you haven't tried camel chocolates (chocolate made of camel's milk), you can buy one at Duty Free or at the souvenir shops in the airport

Though the airport isn't as humongous as the DXB airport, but still has a lot of cool things to do. Most importantly WiFi is accessible to everyone.

Small but nice, traveling to USA from Abu Dhabi is great idea. You can check in to USA while you are in Abu Dhabi. Very creative idea.

Free but rather slow WiFi. Terminal A has a great sitting area with chargers and sockets of all kinds and chairs with leg rests. Also halal McDonald's is superior to any other, try it.

Very nice clean and smooth procedure , officer 👮 and customs are friendly and smiling 🇸🇦🇦🇪

Free wifi but too small a airport. Expansion is a must and soon.... Festive time & it is overflowing tbh.... Also more people to help/assist for directions wud help esp on arrival from Dubai via bus
Michael HoldsworthJuly 4, 2015
Nice big airport, plenty of stuff around. If flying from the Etihad terminal, just go straight to the desk, there's no split at check in for individual flights. Nearly caught us out.

Although it's not a new one but they really care about travelers comfort and renovation. The only annoying thing is the shuttle buses which are used mostly instead of the airplane bridge channels.
EmanApril 15, 2016
Small cute airport that you go from the airplane to the city. Their taxis are the best.
Nikita RvachevJanuary 20, 2015
LIFEHACK! If you have a long stop and fly with Etihad go to their reception and ask for FREE blanket, toothbrush and vaucher for breakfast and dinner. That awesome.

Sofas near gate 21 are great for sleeping during long layovers. definitely better than Lounges.

If you're traveling during the Eid holiday, bear in mind that the airport is packed and there will be considerable delays before you reach your gate, so head to the gate right after checking in.

The old terminal is quaint, crowded and old fashioned in today's day and age... but there is also a certain charm to brick and mortar that glass and steel will always lack.
Anamika JhaFebruary 25, 2019
Beautiful airport. Really clean. A lot of the gates have lounge chairs so be sure to grab them if you are here for a long halt

Clean and not too crowded. Wifi is fast. Amenities are nice.👍
Victoria LukeAugust 1, 2014
If your layover is more than 4hrs apply for a transit visa or Europeans are eligible for 30 day visit visa on arrival. Not much to do here, although there are $15 p/h sleeping pods and showers!
Praveen PaulsamyNovember 9, 2014
The wannabe DXB does a good job of it. Has free wifi, of course - just ask the many help desks located around the airport. Has all the usual options for dining.
Caroline MuthambiriJanuary 2, 2015
Unlimited free WiFi! Well organised and easy to navigate. If only they had power sockets in the sitting area...sucks to sit on the floor of the corridors to charge my laptop.

Pretty nice airport, much smaller then Dubai and everything you’d expect is here...
JunakarmaJuly 5, 2015
nice place but if you're on flight transfer and it's peak hour (morning) just chill cause the custom officers will definitely help you go through the custom fast

The snowy white Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque – conceived by Sheikh Zayed himself – can accommodate up to 40,000 worshipers and is architecturally impressive inside and out.
Chris IoannouJune 20, 2016
The airport is nice with appropriate facilities, however I have seen much better that this one. Nothing to die for. Oh! Did I mention that you need a jacket because you may die from freezing???
Farzad ParviziMarch 30, 2017
Small airport compared to DXB (for now), wifi speed is ok and free,e-gate system is a bit confusing, register beforehand. Prices for beverages and snacks are high 💸. Duty free on arrival is basic.
Dan LucasJanuary 18, 2015
If all of the charging stations are occupied locate additional outlets next to the moving walkways in Terminal 3.
Asabi GoodmanNovember 6, 2016
Stand at the mobile phone charging stations to meet/ interact with interesting travelers.

Must Visit: Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. It is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest in the world. It is also the final resting place of Sheikh Zayed.
Wadha AKA Wodi The LegendNovember 29, 2016
The duty free is really big with a wide variety of restaurants. Check Boots pharmacy they always have good offers of the vitamin supplements.
Katherine M.February 23, 2013
This is an amazing airport. Everyone is so friendly and the place is very clean. I wish it was practical to fly Etihad every time I travel.
ella septelaDecember 21, 2014
Good airport but not great. Small for international/transit airport but cozy enough. You can buy at dfs with USD. Not really much food choice. There was bathroom on terminal 3. Very clean and safe
Syed Jaffary ShahAugust 31, 2013
Nice clean airport. Gets a bit hectic when a few planes land together through immigration but the Authorities do thier best and they seem like pleasant ppl to.

Its unbelievable, it doesn't look like an airport, looks like a resort, an oasis, or something like that. Still expanding and you barely notice it. The best airport I ever was.
Mateusz HerychMay 18, 2015
Due to some visa issues this airport turned to be my home for almost 20 hours. It's not huge, but you can fly from here to simply everywhere. Good wifi. Lots of sleeping areas.

Don’t miss or delayed ur flight you want find anybody to help you , airport controled by some nationalty, they act like the manager of the head office they let you pay with big smile for their fault
Dirk SingerOctober 3, 2012
Fairly compact though like everywhere else in the region there are big expansion plans. Two winning features - free wifi and kids buggies to borrow at the gate until you can pick yours up
Oliver HoJune 30, 2015
WiFi is strong, free showers (if you bring shower gear...kits for sale), preclearance for US immigration/customs.
Benjamin NgMarch 14, 2017
The best toilets are where the duty-free shops are; just beneath McDonald's. Make a U-turn after you ride the escalator down.
Akash BhatiaMarch 9, 2014
Beta test site for CBP's bullshit "pre-clearance" into the US (i.e. clear customs prior to entering the US). No Global Entry yet. US style security (shoes off). US CBP. Lovely experience. Go 'Merica!

Deserts are approx 25-35 dirhams regardless of where you are buying. Indian food is 40 - ish per dish. Pizza slice is 25 riyals. Burger King is the cheapest

Winner of the 2012 World Airport Awards 'Best Airport in the Middle East'. Its Terminal 3, home of Etihad Airways, features an award-winning concierge style check-in. http://bit.ly/10uxK7g

AirPort is quite small. Fairly good food You can find in Al Reem Lounge. For longer stay better sleeping options offer Al Ghazal (T2- additional transport needed), but food is far from perfection.
armagan yagciMarch 17, 2013
All staff are so kindly, Unexcepted Hospitality, unimagined Handsome staff :) everywhere is so clean.

Anyone interested in traditional Emirati handicrafts should swing by this government-run centre where local women are engaged in textile weaving, embroidering, silver-threading & other crafts.
Lars BriseidMarch 29, 2015
Pay to get in one of the lounges in Terminal 1. It's worth the money. You can eat drink or even take a shower. Also Free WiFi is availble. Two hours cost 48 USD and 5 hours cost 78 USD
