First steps into Dubai Airport

This is the first scene upon entrance into Dubai Airport. Compared to the European, American and other Western airports, this is so refreshing and lively. It is wonderful to start seeing public messages in Arabic alongside the English as well, which is pretty much everywhere and presents endless opportunities to learn new vocab. There is a restroom area just a few steps later (to the left of the picture), which is again a blessing and so convenient for arriving passengers, something that we didn't find so easily while travelling through some of the Western airports! 

All praises and thanks are to Allaah (subhaanahu wata'aalaa) alone
