Business lounge at Al Maktoum Airport in Dubai. You can spend your time comfortably. There is not much choice of hot food. There were 2 types of juice, gas. bottled water, beer and alcoholic beverages to choose from. Sandwiches, nuts, fruit only bananas). On the downside, there is little space. But we were lucky, we were almost the first to arrive, after 40 minutes we ran out of seats and stopped letting people in because of the overcrowding.
A normal business lounge, the food is not varied, but you can eat, it's delicious. From alcohol: beer, wine, whiskey, liqueurs, etc.A large selection of soft drinks: juices, pepsi, fanta, sprite, etc. tea, coffee. Very tasty dates with almonds and baskets with walnuts.
The Marhaba Lounge Terminal 1 business hall seemed quite decent: a good assortment of strong and not very strong alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, tea and coffee, good hot and cold snacks, although without frills...
There are few seats. This is the main problem. The choice of dishes is meager, with an emphasis on the cuisine of Southeast Asia. There is alcohol, but there is also not much choice. In general, if there is an alternative, I recommend waiting for the flight somewhere else.
The most disgusting business, the gym, that I've seen, I don't understand the rave reviews from people. The food here is disgusting. There are three hot dishes, salad - one name. Only pastries and beer, probably, people went in. The dishes are dirty, the room is small. In general , it 's disgusting .
We were probably lucky, but we were on 03/24/2025 and there was great food (not spicy) and few people. Excellent opportunities for relaxation before the flight.
The manager spoke to me very rudely on 03/17/2025. She didn't want to solve my issues, she tried to kick me out, even though I had a ticket to the business lounge. I ask you to have a conversation with her. She refused to call the receptionist, saying that she was alone here. The work of this place does not reach the international level
A very small lounge. As a rule, people stand in line at the entrance to get here. The food is decent, the coffee is delicious. There is wine and beer from alcohol (this is included in the price). The furniture is quite shabby. There is a smoking room. In general, according to my assessment, it does not reach a full-fledged business lounge.
Probably the best business lounge at the airport I've been to. And by the way, food and drinks are not an example better than at the Burj Al Arab hotel and even 2 times cheaper (122 bucks for two) than at the hotel. Only also any drinks are included) and in a top hotel, in a restaurant for 100 bucks per person, exclusively food (not tasty) without any drinks. Even water for a real price.
There is a queue at the entrance, very small, two small halls. The food is normal, carbonated drinks in cans, Perrier mineral water, red and white wine, beer in cans. There is a smoking room.
Small, cramped
There are very few lounge chairs
Packed with people
I don't know if there are alternatives in Terminal 3, but this room is still worse than all the others I've seen.
Very little space. You have to wait for them to put you in an empty seat in the hall. At the same time, the reserved seats remain unavailable. Even the grandfather in a wheelchair was not placed there, although it cost them a lot. The choice of food is meager, not comparable to the halls in Domodedovo or Vnukovo. The toilets are no different from the toilets at the airport itself. I don't recommend it when there are a lot of people. If there are few people at night, you can use it once
The toilets are dirty, the chairs are all dead, the hall is crowded, the food is very mediocre, there are free drinks in cans, this is a plus, but there is no bottled water, you need to pour it from under the tap
In general, the stay is uncomfortable
Unpleasant impression… The crowd, food at a minimum, the only plus is wifi for 2 hours. And my friend was robbed there in general (they took money and jewelry out of his bag while he was leaving for food), and Dubai Airport pretends that it has nothing to do with it. Be careful with the choice of lounge, I would not recommend this one!
