Is the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai worth the money?
Obviously, part of the ticket price is your business class seat onboard your Emirates flight, but having the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai thrown in too, is pretty awesome.

What is the seating like inside the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai?
There are plenty of different kinds of seating in the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai. Because the lounge is so big – they’ve really been able to fill it with plenty of seating choice for all kinds of passengers.
For example, if you fancy sitting somewhere quiet, with a little more privacy – you’ll find little ‘napping’ rooms with loungers. These are quiet areas designed to give you a place to catch some sleep before your flight.
It’s such a welcome change to the armchairs and tables and bar seats! See below.
If you’d rather sit at a table (to eat or work) – then the more traditional dining style area will probably suit you more.
The tables in this area are really well sized, and the chairs are comfortable too. One thing the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai does really well, is to provide plenty of variety of seats, so you can always find something comfortable or fitting.
In the photo below, you’ll see they have at least 5 different kinds of dining chairs to choose from.
There’s also ‘bar’ style seating, and lounge-style seating (similar to what you’d find in a member’s club).
This area of the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai feels calm and relax, usually with people reading or working.
There are also TV scattered around too, so you can watch the news or sports.

Another highlight of the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai, is the lounge area.
This is a more relaxed lounge area, with loungers and a chilled-out vibe. I love the attention to detail (including bedside lamps) and even little pillows by the headrests. It’s details like this that make the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai so welcoming and comfortable.
This is great if you want to relax, but don’t necessarily need the peace and quiet of the napping rooms. See below.
In short, there are so many places to sit and enjoy the lounge, and so many different varieties of seats, you’ll be spoilt for choice!
We’d recommend when visiting the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai for the first time, to explore the lounge properly before committing to a seat or an area.
Obviously, you can change seats freely, but if you’re anything like us, you’ll want to base yourself in a little area for the couple of hours and settle in.
So, before committing and settling, make sure you’ve had a proper walk around the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai, so you know exactly what’s on offer.
Do I need to dress smart to enter the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai?
In short, not really. You’re just required to dress however you would dress for your flight.
This is a business class lounge (yes) but that doesn’t mean everyone in there is dressed as a business traveller.
All kinds of people use the lounge (from couples on their honeymoon, to families and solo travellers). This might mean you’re wearing some jogging bottoms and a hoody top, or it may mean you’re wearing a suit.
Whatever you’re wearing for your flight, will be fine to wear in the lounge, there’s no ‘smart dress code’ for entering.
Is there free food in the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai?
Yes, inside the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai, you’ll find several buffet locations and snack counters for free.
The selection is really good actually, we’re always pleasantly surprised by how good the food is there.
Different parts of the lounge will offer different types of food – for example, some food areas will serve traditional Arabic breakfasts, and some will offer a more continental style.
We particularly love the dinner selection, as last time we visited they had lots of lovely food on offer, like currys and naans. So it’s just your choice, which you opt for.
There are also drink available throughout the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai, again, the choices on offer vary depending on where you sit. You’ll also find bottled water too.
Oh, and coffee! Let’s not forget about the coffee!

It’s really up to you, there aren’t any ‘rules’ as to how you should spend your time waiting for your flight. We usually grab something to eat from the buffets, and then sit and read with a few drinks, or watch the sport in the TV areas of the lounge.
But it’s completely up to you, the lounge is designed specifically so you can spend time doing/enjoying your time however you choose.
Whether that be reading one of the magazines they provide, napping, working, eating, or watching TV.

So if you leave, just ensure you have those items with you, so you can be re-admitted to the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai once again.
I usually leave my husband in the lounge to settle with our things, and then do some shopping downstairs in the main departure lounge, and then come back up to the Emirates Business Class Lounge Dubai to relax until our flight leaves, once I’m finished shopping.
