A few items.

- Limited self service items
- No drinks allowed in business center
- Restaurant - limited menu

Emirates is so much better.
Lol horses for courses I suppose.
For me, comparing Al-Safwa to EK DXB F lounge is like comparing the heavens to the earth lol.
The aesthetics and design of Al-Safwa is amazing and much more interesting compared to the massive monotonous space that the EK DXB F lounge sits in.
And as for the sleeper rooms, well there is no comparison.
And the degree of exclusivity, which is what F flyers want, also no comparison.
