Most Expensive Airport in the World
Imagine building a city from scratch just for planes. That’s exactly what happened.
The airport covers 76 million square meters. That’s about 10,600 football fields. You could lose a small town in there.
They moved mountains of dirt to level the ground. Seriously, they shifted 1.5 billion cubic meters of earth. It’s like carving a civilization out of nothing.
A Terminal That Never Ends
The main terminal is the largest single-terminal building under one roof in the world. It’s 1.4 million square meters. You will walk. A lot.
Forget your step count. You’ll hit 20,000 steps just finding your gate. Pack comfortable shoes, or prepare for a mini-marathon.
There are 143 boarding gates. I’m not sure if that’s an airport or a small nation’s worth of departure lounges.
