Leather armchairs, dining tables and apron-facing windows provide seating variety and daylight. Crowding around departing flights and inconveniently placed power outlets limit comfort.
The self-service buffet offers hot dishes, salads and breakfast items, alongside wine, spirits and soft drinks. Quality and availability vary; staffed coffee and made-to-order food are not dependable.
Wi-Fi, flight information screens, work areas and showers cover the main practical needs. The showers are modest, and there is no verified spa, sleeping area or meeting room.
Table clearing and replenishment can be prompt, but the dated bathrooms and showers and uneven upkeep limit consistency.
The Marhaba Lounge is an independent, airside lounge for international departures in Terminal 2. Entry is available through eligible lounge memberships or a purchased visit; passengers travelling with participating airlines may also receive access when directed by their airline. Membership entry is subject to its own time limit and capacity controls.
On Level 3, the lounge combines leather armchairs, dining tables and a work area with windows overlooking the apron. The daylight and aircraft views distinguish it from enclosed spaces elsewhere in the terminal. Seating is reasonably varied, but the room can fill when several departing flights overlap, and power outlets are not convenient at every chair. A designated quiet area is advertised, though the general atmosphere depends on how busy the lounge is.
Food is primarily a self-service hot and cold buffet. Breakfast selections can include eggs, congee, fruit and cereal; later offerings may include curries, rice, soup, salads and desserts. Standard alcoholic drinks, Australian wines, soft drinks and coffee are available. The range and execution vary between visits, and early arrivals should not assume the full food and bar offering is ready at opening. Made-to-order dining and a staffed coffee counter are not dependable, despite being listed among the lounge's facilities.
Wi-Fi, flight information screens, restrooms and showers cover the practical basics. The shower spaces are modest, and the bathrooms can feel dated. The lounge works best for a meal, a shower and a window-side wait before departure; its buffet and facilities are less compelling as a premium destination or a long paid stay.
