Well the airport might be clean, but the 20-30 mins taxi time, the total chaos outside, and the current building boom. No comment.

Yesterday: within 15 mins drive of the airport, I slowed down on the road for a string of camels crossing the road, and several Indians walking, (running in slip on shoes and long skirt) across the main highway, normal traffic speed 140k.
I also saw one Indian in the middle of the road, and the car that hit him, inverted in the ditch.

There is a 24/7 stream of heavy trucks on all roads and highways.

Buliding sites working all night.

I would call it an interesting place.
