CONCLUSION

I visited this lounge last month before my flight from Muscat to Doha and just like the other Plaza Premium Lounges, the interior design was more or less the same. After clearing security, I went directly to the lounge and as I normally do, took pictures of the lounge entrance. I was then approached by a security staff and asked me why I was taking pictures. I told him that it was for my hobby where I take pictures of different lounge and apparently, there was nothing wrong with it so he just said its okay. I thought the food on the buffet was very good which for dinner included the following: lemon coriander soup, roast chicken with rosemary jus, chicken biryani, penne in tomato creme sauce with vegetables, vegetable manchurian, vegetable pizza and chili chicken dry. There were also 3 nap rooms but since it was not really a closed area, I am not sure if I would be able to get a good nap. The two shower rooms were okay but nothing special. There was also the business center with 3 computers and a printer although I thought the wifi connection was a bit slow. Unfortunately, there were no windows so if you want to have a view of the tarmac, you would need to go to the departure gates. Overall, a nice lounge to visit before your flight.
