Dubai lounge on arrival

G'day hive mind. Soon I'll be arriving into DXB in Emirates F, for a few days' trip to Dubai. I'm arriving at an ungodly hour in the morning, so I was hopeful that I could perhaps access a lounge on arrival, to kill time until it's light outside at least. No point arriving at the hotel at 5am!

Is there any chance I can access any lounge on arrival? Arriving on EK F, holding QF Gold status. My EK F back home is only a few days later. From what I can tell it looks pessimistic (QF Gold only mentions lounges on arrival in the USA), but I thought I'd ask here before giving up. Thanks!

PS: I did search a few keywords before posting my question, apologies if this has been answered previously!
 
AFAIK, this isn't possible, although you will have access to chauffeur drive to your hotel.

One option would be to book the "night before" at your hotel, noting that you'll be arriving at 5am the next day. The Dubai hotels are quite used to this.

Another alternative would be the paid Marharaba arrivals lounges. But if it were me, I'd prefer to be unwinding in my hotel room.
