ShareSmoking at Dubai International Airport (DXB)
Airport Rating
Before Security Smoking
Smoking is only permitted in designated areas outside the terminals.
Feedback from Nicola 19th January 2017: Well worth upgrading to Business Class with Emirates if passing through Dubai.
Not only do you get spoiled for choice with food options in the Emirates
lounge - you can also smoke in about a quarter of the area in complete comfort
and good ventilation. Very comforting after a 16 hour flight from Auckland.
Dubai's dedicated smoking booths get a little foggy to say the least.

Update from Joe, April 2025: Just tried to go to Dubai airport A23 smoking area but is closed for refurbishment, asked someone that said there is one next to A2 which is not mentioned on the page.
Update from Kerryman, June 2023: I can confirm Winston smoking lounge at Gate B3 (2 entrances, on from center isle, 1 from connecting isle (Between Gate B3 and center isle).
