Ahlan Lounge (A)

Guide by Lounge Frog
Details checked
At a glance
One of five lounges in Terminal 3 (Concourse A), ranking 4th among them. An independent lounge with enough quiet for a read or a nap, food and drink worth arriving early for, and coffee made by a person rather than a button — though anyone with a day pass can get in. It runs a full bar. It's open around the clock, so a red-eye or a dawn departure is covered. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Priority Pass. Entry conditions and availability apply.
