Cairo's most flexible independent lounge — Priority Pass, DragonPass and three alliances.

About this lounge

The Ahlein Premium Lounge is the most flexible way into a lounge at Cairo Terminal 3. It sits airside on Level 3, on your right after passport control and the security check, and accepts the broadest set of access types at the airport: Priority Pass, DragonPass, Star Alliance, SkyTeam and oneworld. That mix makes it the go-to independent lounge for most Terminal 3 departures, whatever card or airline you carry. Inside you'll find comfortable seating, a buffet and a bar, with Wi-Fi and flight information. A few extras are charged separately — showers, spa and salon facilities and massage chairs are subject to payment, and a VIP private room costs around USD $10 for a two-hour stay, bookable ahead through the lounge or at the reception desk.
