Hey, I've been to Dubai five times (four for 1-2 week breaks, and once for a stop over a month and a half ago). The stop-over was going there and coming back from Nairobi at 2/3am in the morning.
As the posters above said, it's a 24 hour airport. There are hundreds of people around. The things you can do are: eat, shop, browse, internet surf, or go to sleep on the benches, or walk from one end of the duty free to the other and back and forth.
Luckily my stopovers there were only three hours long and flights were on time. But I know of one of my cousins who came a few days later and he spent like 8 hours at the airport - really didn't like it, as he was the one coming to Nairobi for his own marriage. And another cousin was on the plane at Dubai for 4 hours after spending 3 hours in the airport. Not good.... </rant>

I suppose you beat them off with your large watches.
Erm hang on a minute that sounded a lot more dodgey than it did in my head
errr some airports aren't really "open" at night and are pretty dead. So not really a pointless thread. If it is so pointless then why have you posted?
Thanks for the proper replies people.

Just to support Daven1986's post, Nairobi International Airport had nothing for me to do, apart from just sitting down and watching the hands of the clock turning slowly...
Dubai airport is lively... and I think you will like. When are you going, and what destination? Also have a look at the cars they have on "competition", and take some snaps or take snaps of other tourists taking snaps.
