Dxb 12 hour layover

[Pierre_a]

Greetings all,

I have a 12 hour layover coming up at DXB. A necessary addition in order to secure EK F into MEL from LHR.

Does the group recommend the dxb international hotel or is it worth venturing out for a better hotel?

I have no interest in visiting Dubai, rather want to relax in comfort and maybe use a gym. Ideal plan may be to stay up on overnight flight into dxb (BA club world old style) and rest up ready to enjoy the F flight to maximum possible extent.

Many thanks for any recommendations.

I am in the Dubai International Hotel camp for 12 hours, especially when you have lounge access either side.

Ps. The last time I was in EK Dubai F lounge (several years ago) they had Torbreck Run Rig on the counter. It was 8am and I had a 10am flight…best breakfast ever.
