I am a US passport holder landing around 8:30 PM in DXB with a connection at 3 AM. I'll be flying F so my options are (1) leave the airport to catch a late good dinner or (2) enjoy the F lounge for ~7 hours.

Thoughts on this? Never been to Dubai, but having been to Abu Dhabi, I wouldn't be inclined to head out for a meal there, though I understand Dubai has much more of a nightlife and dining scene.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards.
