Transiting through Dubai, from Terminal 3 to 2

I am arriving into Terminal 3 transiting out of Terminal 2, 5.5 hours later.

Is it possible to book time in the Marhaba Lounge in Terminal 3, then move to Terminal 2 for my flight?

Or cant you get access to the lounges if you are transiting through to Terminal 2?

Best Answer

Yes, the Marhaba Lounge is open to all paying passengers. Bookings aren't really necessary unless you want to be escorted to/from your gate.

If you're connecting from Emirates to Flydubai, you can use the shuttle service and do not need to pass through immigration or pick up bags. But if you are flying any other combination of flights, I would advise you to forget the lounge in T3: instead complete all formalities, transfer, check back in, and only then go to the Marhaba Lounge in T2. It's admittedly overpriced and crappy, but I'd rather pay the extra $10/hr than risk missing my onward flight.
