BAH is currently sufficient and in the process of expansion.
I wouldn't call it sufficient, I would call it making the best of a less than ideal airport. What is the percentage of satellite busing for flights? Very high, for there is not sufficient gate space. What about transiting during peak times and only 2 security points are open? Yes happens frequently.
These aren't isolated to BAH, any KSA airport is dreadful and I cringe when I have to leave DMM, however with the new egate card for KSA airports (dmm,rdu) it will improve dramatically.

DXB and DOH exceed BAH IMO. DXB for sure and the premium terminal in DOH is awesome. AUH is better than BAH IMO as well.
Why does anyone have to be a BAH apologist? It sucks and they are behind the times for what their needs are.
