"Never Ever Transit 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)
"The place sticks. The common use toilets are worse than the ones in train stations in Lahore" - surejb

"I used Air Arabia whose base is Sharjah and OMG I was shocked by the pathetic state this airport is run. The terminal is extremely small and dirty with people lying all over the place. The airport has about 4 main counters which has to see to more than 6 flights per hour! The waiting lines are endless, almost reaching the plane itself!!! The staff and horribly rude and slow in their work. They prioritize passengers according to nationality. For women with children, its the worst place to be in!! The airport's a total mess and I would never advice people to use it."
