CONCLUSION

It was my first time to visit this lounge and thought instantly that it was much better than it's counterpart in Jeddah Airport. This lounge is managed by Catrion, thus the lounge is now known as the Catrion Lounge. The piano lounge was nice as well as the other amenities like the gaming room, TV room, the office hubs and more. It is like the mini version of the grand Qatar Airways Al Mourjan Lounge in Doha. The catering was also very good, with Catrion catering managing it. Lastly, the Bulgari toiletry was super cool. Overall, this is a very nice lounge worth visiting before your flight.
