Emirates First Class Lounges at Dubai DXB

With an 8 hour Dubai connection, lots of time to visit and explore the wines in all the Emirates First Class Lounges.   Since I arrived at a B gate, I started with the B Lounge, mostly to check out the wine offerings.   I never really liked this lounge, even more so after the "renovations".  

Sprawling dining room with zero personality. 

The worst part of the renovations is the lack of any visible wines anywhere, with all the wines are hidden behind the bar.  

I had to ask to see what wines were available.  Bartender was happy to line them up and give me a taste of whatever I wanted to try.

After 15 minutes or so, I headed for the long walk to the C lounge, which is the smallest of the First Class lounges.

Much more attractive and intimate than the B lounge.

But no hidden gems.

Saving the best for last, the long walk back to B and then the train to the A gates.

And the best for last.  The A First Class Lounge, the largest First Class lounge in the world.

Checking out the wine selection.

Time for dinner in the elegant A Fine Dining room

The wine selections.

Starting with a beautiful Corton.

And lovely Ducru.

The Butter Chicken was fabulous.

As was the tiramisu. 

After dinner, off to the quiet room for a couple hours rest.

And then back for round 2.  lol

Hokkaido scallops were delicious.

The Iranian mixed grill was wonderful.

Emirates First Class Lounge in the Dubai A Concourse

I love 6 hour connections in Dubai as I can relax and enjoy great food and amazing wines in the largest and one of the best First Class Lounges in the world. 

Always cool to check out the wine selection.

Time for lunch.

 

 

Wonderful service as always today.

Italian Burrata salad.

Amazing butter chicken.

And wonderful tiramisu to finish.

And a little more outstanding wine.

Emirates First Class Lounge A at Dubai

As I stepped off the plane in the A gate concourse, I was met by an Emirates First Class representative, who escorted me down an escalator to the front of security and then by elevator upstairs to the massive A gate concourse First Class Lounge. The stars aligned today as both my arriving Singapore flight and my departing Houston flight operated from the A gate concourse. 

As always I made the rounds of the multiple bars and restaurants to check out the wine selection. 

I enjoyed a pair of gorgeous and insanely extravagant Burgundies over an enjoyable breakfast.

Nice idea.

Absolutely no idea what this is, but they were all roped off.

Comfy looking, whatever they are.

The off to the lounge area near my departure gate... A4.
