Hi,
We have a 20h layover on our way to MLE in August arriving in DXB a 7:55am and living at 4:30am the next day. We are a family of 4, with a 3 y.o and 6 month old baby. We were thinking of spending the day in Dubai -certainly at the mall as you may not want to step a foot outside in august- and were wondering if it's worth it to book the hotel inside the airport so we can shower and have a rest after and before our flight, shower etc.. Or if we can just use the business lounge as we're traveling in J ?

What do you think ? Is the hotel really worth it ? If we were traveling as a couple we would definitely pass and just go to the city and come back chill at the lounge but because of the kid's we don't really know..

Last question, If we were to book the hotel do you know which concourse to chose? I believe the departure concourse and gate are not determined in advance and when I check the previous flights it seems to be random, sometimes it departs from A, sometimes B.
