SHARJAH, UAE

"Its the most PATHETIC airport I have ever seen in my life.  Airports in India are much better." (Ted)
"Airport staff was rude, they treat all passengers as if they are labourers. " (Ted)
"Never Ever Tranist this Pathetic Airport unless you are game for Torture!!!!!!!!" (Ted)
"Immigration wanted me to give an Iris recognition sample for their database – a somewhat unsavoury surprise. At first I declined and headed back to the terminal, but I got bored and changed my mind." (jbfield)

What you can look forward to:

  • be prepared to participate in "Iris recognition" program
  • no comfortable chairs, except for a few broken massage chairs 
  • rude staff
  • AC may not be working
  • smells bad
  • sleeping in the prayer room is not permitted

"All UAE nationals (arabs) working at the airport are extremely rude and absolutely unhelpfull. The worst part is passport control, eye scan and customs. Arabic girls (barely 20 y/o) on passport control instead of doing their work properly just sitting there and loudly chatting with each other sending whoever's face they do not like for eye scan, so after waiting in line at passport control I had to go back and line up for eye scan. Again UAE nationals on eye scan were very rude cracking some not funny at all and quite offensive jokes. And then the same with customs. Only Indians and Filipinos working there are friendly and helpfull but unfortunately they aren't working at Passport Control, Eye Scan and Customs. So if someone wants to be a kinda humilated - Welcome to Shrjah International Airport."
