At a glance

One of five lounges in Terminal 2, ranking 2nd among them. An airline flagship lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 162, mixes proper cocktails, and has one shower suite to freshen up in. Hours are 6:15 AM – 9:50 AM, 10:05 AM – 2:05 PM, 5:20 PM – 9:20 PM daily. It opened in 2026. Fine for a layover, not a reason to plan one. Recorded access options include Emirates Lounge — Emirates First/Business passengers and Skywards Platinum/Gold members on Emirates flights. Entry conditions and availability apply.
