The numbers are astounding. According to [Luxury Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-vehicle-transport-service), Emirates Terminal 3's departure area is the size of 94 football fields; its parking structure alone has the same square footage as 33 football fields. There are 157 elevators and 97 escalators to help passengers navigate Emirates Terminal 3's six floors, as well as 82 moving walkways and eight 'Sky Trains' that carry 47 riders at a time. As you can see from the gallery, the exclusive terminal's features are impressive.
