It’s a great hub point for terrorists to get around to where they need to go.

If you ever wanna see how busy, go to this site:

www.flightradar24.com

It’s definitely a 24/7 airport - flight to and from Africa, Europe, Asia and the rest of the Middle East.

Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are also pretty busy too.

Flew through in early 2013. At the time it was the biggest, emptiest, airport I had ever been through. If you build it, they will...

I’ve flown in and out of Dubai several times...each time as a stopover to,or from,somewhere else.A very interesting city and a very big airport.

The Arabs in Dubai are crazy. Stay away.

Briton jailed for four years in Dubai after customs find cannabis weighing less than a grain of sugar under his shoe

One man has even been jailed for possession of three poppy seeds left over from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow Airport.

Atlanta’s Jackson-Hartsfield International Airport total passengers for 2018:

105.28 million.

Dubai’s 89.15 million—not even close.
