After a long time, I got the opportunity of transiting through the famous DXB airport. The last few years, I've been using Europe to transit to the US, but my crazy travel itinerary forced me to route via Dubai.
It's an incredibly busy airport and probably has the most global connections compared to any other airport. But sweet heavens, it is quite expensive. Sample this, a cup of ordinary coffee is $5.50 and everyone carries only Evian water, which sets you back by another $7. That's quite something to pay for coffee and water.
I wonder why it's so expensive. Perhaps the rental is high at the airport? Or the restaurants pay a hefty transaction fee to the airport? Who knows, but the airport feels like a pocket pincher.
Wonder if other transiters feel the same?
