Insider tips

Make the most of it.

01

Pre-book online via Marhaba/DXB for a 15-25% discount over walk-in.

02

If your gate is in B-Concourse and you have Priority Pass, you can also walk to @A1 or @C13 — but @B26 saves the train ride.

03

Day pass covers 4 hours — sufficient for most B-gate connections.

04

Quieter than @A1 because volume is lower.

05

Showers are first-come; usually short queues.
