    Great place to relax a bit during your connection flight. A huge selection of food and plenty of drink options. There is also a shower and a few massage chairs. They make a perfect cappuccino :)My special thanks to Mari who’s always welcoming and helpful.Wish the lounge the best of luck and plenty of customers!

    The lounge provides a truly exceptional experience. From the soothing massage chairs and the abundant variety of food choices to the great coffee and clean showers. However, what really sets it apart is the remarkable service. SAJID, in particular, stands out with his helpfulness, hospitality, and unwavering dedication to accommodating every need. Perfect lounge for a 7-hour connecting flight.

    For the price this lounge is great. The dining area is great with food choices and tasty options. Lots of drinks choices both alcoholic and non alcoholic.Nice little bar area with stools. Stools comfortable height for the bar.There are multiple Options for sitting in different locations.There is a prayer room available.Loved the massage chairs.Staff lovely and helpful and just perfect.The bathroom amenities are a bit outdated / tired and some areas in the toilet area look unused, seems it is in line for an upgrade.There are comfy chairs but no recliners except for the massage chairs.Overall highly recommend.

    This lounge offers a pleasant and comfortable environment, perfect for spending a few hours during airport transit. The cozy sofas are great for a short nap, and facilities like the shower room and prayer room (mushola) add to the convenience.The staff here are exceptionally friendly and polite, which enhances the overall experience. The food and drink options are satisfactory as well.Considering the price for a 4-hour stay, its definitely worth it.

    Bhupendra Singh was exceptional! Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made my dining experience enjoyable and memorable. I Highly recommend his service definitely a highlight of our visit.

    Radiet, the server, is nice and attentive. The braised beef tastes great.

  • Review 9 (2024-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Located at Dubai International Airport and we came here for connections flight. The food style here near to Asian style and they all taste good! I like their Machboos and Fish Manchurian especially. The service was great and the waiters are attentive to change our plates

  • Review 10 (2025-01-07 - Rating: 4)

    Most tables are not served and not cleaned in time. Had to ask receptionist for the forks.Only two sofas right near reception desk.Good for short stay with 1-2 people, but not for families.Not a good place for long stay and relax if you have to wait 2+ hours.Good food. Waiters and all the staff are friendly.

  • Review 11 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    The lounge is fine for a quick break before the flight. Menu is varied and food is tasty. Good selection of drinks as well.The best part was the service. We were served by Mr. Premkumar who was remarkably kind and attentive. He made our experience a 10/10!

  • Review 12 (2024-12-25 - Rating: 5)

    During this trip, I visited four airport lounges, and among them, the Ahlan Lounge near Gate C13 had the best food, was the cleanest, and offered the friendliest service. Thanks to the staff member, SAJID, who kindly guided me on how to use the lounge facilities and took care of me during my stay, even the long wait became an enjoyable part of the journey. Highly recommended!

  • Review 13 (2024-12-17 - Rating: 5)

    A pleasant surprise, I spend a lot of time in airport lounges and have low expectations. Here, it was relaxing, not too crowded and the food was excellent. Compliments to the chef, the pesto fish (visited on Dec 17th, 2024) was excellent. A nice departure from the bland food normally served in lounges. We were quickly offer drinks with a smile and friendly approach. Phyo took good care of us. On to the deserts!

    I recently visited the Ahlan Lounge @ Gate C13 due to maintenance at the exceptional Ahlan Lounge B26. I was impressed by the comfortable atmosphere and excellent service, particularly from Ann Martha. She was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to accommodate my requests. Her friendly demeanor made my experience memorable.Comfy shower rooms and massage chairs are part of their complimentary offering, too.Access with Priority Pass, Lounge Key or paid walk-ins.Best non-EK lounge to choose from in C-gates.Highly recommend for anyone at DXB!

  • Review 15 (2024-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    This was by far me and my husband’s best airport lounge experience. The buffet was full with plenty of options. Our waitress, Martha Ann, went above and beyond to make sure we were very well attended too. The lounge is very spacious and elegant. I definitely will be back.

  • Review 16 (2025-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Hidden gem on Dubai airport. And when I write hidden it is so true - its a little bit tricky to find it 😀 But its a plus, because it was not overcrowded when you compare it to other popular lounges on this airport.

  • Review 17 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious scrambled eggs, drinks and service from Romalyn, Thamim and Prem! Sure, we’ll meet again soon. Next time during any connection flight in Dubai I will be here )

  • Review 18 (2025-04-29 - Rating: 5)

    Good place for a small break and good options for breakfast or high tea.

  • Review 19 (2024-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    This new lounge is specious and nice . All staff are friendly and welcoming , merry was very nice always smiling and very attentive to our requests , they need to have more waiters for such a big number of guests to speed up the service , Food is ok . Good drinks

  • Review 20 (2024-02-29 - Rating: 5)

    Might not look like a typical lounge but the food is amazing and very varied, dessert options equaled or outclassed what you would find at a high end restaurant, great wine, free showers (other lounge in C wanted $18 extra to shower) massage chairs and fantastic service. I’d pay entry again just for the food.I used a Revolut/dragonpass lounge pass so it was only about 88 Aed (37 aud) for 3.5 hours

  • Review 21 (2024-08-31 - Rating: 4)

    As an Asian (Pakistani), definitely there was a difference in taste. I found the food variety limited. They should have some more food options.

  • Review 22 (2024-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent food and great service especially from Ann Martha!

    I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Ms. Romalyn at Ahlan Lounge in Terminal 3.Ms. Romalyns assistance during my time at the Ahlan Lounge. She is a true asset to your establishment and I believe she deserves recognition for her outstanding service.

  • Review 34 (2025-03-05 - Rating: 4)

    Ahlan Lounge is one of the very beautiful and distinctive lounges at Dubai International AirportOf course, they have more than one place, and the one I tried was the one near Gate C13Honestly, tidy, big, comfortable and cleanThe food is very diverse, and the sweets, drinks, and sandwiches are frankly as if you were in a nice little hotel buffet, because some lounges dont have anything to eat, but this is, frankly, excellent.It has a special bar for soft drinks and coffee, and they serve you and bring it to your needsThe staff is friendly and respectful and the service is outstandingBut it lacks some chairs that can recline, and the bathrooms are only one bathroom for men and one for women, and sometimes it is crowded.——For more coverageSnap Travelaq

    I went there around 6am in March 2024 and was glad it was empty. There was a lot of bread and it was delicious. I was happy because he came over to make me a hot cup of coffee and asked me questions often.

  • Review 36 (2024-05-06 - Rating: 4)

    Excellent lounge, right in terminal 3 (the Emirates one so to speak) in a strategic position, close to gate C13.The lounge is very quiet and has attention to detail to the point that, more than a lounge, it seems like a classy restaurant.The (hot) food is very influenced by Indian cuisine. Obviously there are sandwiches, yogurt and desserts.The drink card is brought with the orders and is served directly at the table.Advise

  • Review 37 (2024-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    There is a lot of space in the hall, there are chairs where you can stretch out horizontally to your full height, and free massage chairs.The food is very tasty - you can prepare yourself a typical French breakfast here: French cheese, fresh croissant, fruit, fresh juice and coffee not from a coffee machine, but brewed for you by a barista!The main dishes are also very tasty.Everything is very civilized (except for the toilets 😆), it’s a nice place to spend time before your flight!Several levels higher than this creepy Merhaba at exit 23...

  • Review 38 (2024-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    We had a LoungKey voucher due to a flight delay and chose the Ahlan Lounge because it was close to our gate.Since we hadnt informed ourselves and didnt know what to expect, we were very positively surprised. The main part of the lounge resembles a stylish restaurant. There is a relaxation room on the side where I even managed to sleep for an hour.The breakfast buffet served fresh fruit, smoothies, hot items and an amazing selection of breads and ponds. Drinks were brought directly to the table.The service was very friendly, attentive and unobtrusive. We felt totally comfortable.If you take the elevator up from Gate 13, you will be directly in front of the reception.

  • Review 39 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 4)

    The location was really hard to find. There was no guidance and the name was strange. The food was so-so and it was nice to have a shower. It was good for a short break. It was one floor up from the duty-free shop floor and I think the name was different from what was on the PP.

  • Review 40 (2024-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    I recommend!!!It is in terminal 3, above gate C13, on floor 1 of the airport hotel.The food is still good and quite diverse.The staff is top notch, there are some young people who really want to make you feel good.Worth every penny!!!

  • Review 41 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    In my opinion the best lounge at Dubai airport, certainly one of the best Ive been to. Very welcoming staff, different types of tables (low, high, etc.) and then a bit of everything to eat, from savory to sweet and also fruit and lots to drink. A nice location to eat and relax before the flight.

  • Review 42 (2024-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    At a high-end bar, the friendly bartender served me a pleasant cocktail and a carefully prepared latte, which I enjoyed very much, and the shower room was clean.

  • Review 43 (2025-01-14 - Rating: 4)

    We have been here several times, quite pleasant and comfortable, rich breakfast, quieter than in other lounges. There is usually a long wait for service and they dont care much about the buffet. It was much better when the manager Mr. Mohammed was here.

    I can highly recommend the lounge - not too crowded and there is even the opportunity to get a little sleep

  • Review 47 (2024-07-27 - Rating: 4)

    It took a long time to find it because the markings on Google Maps were wrong. Don’t look at the map location to find it.Always move towards gate C13.Go and take the elevator near the gate.It will go up
