NBO Lounges

It seems there are no description for the NBO lounges (you actually have access to 2 of them, not one : Pride Lounge & Simba Lounge). The review below is for both the Pride lounge (flagship), and the Simba lounge (they offer roughly the same services, except Simba is slightly smaller). All comments apply to both unless otherwise stated. I unfortunately do not have pictures, but you can perhaps link the wiki to this post.

Name of the lounge : Pride Lounge & Simba lounge

Location :
  • Pride Lounge: T1A. Once you clear security, take a left, and a left again after the Duty Free. Go to the end of the terminal, next to gate 17, take a right and take the elevator to the 2nd floor.
  • Simba lounge: T1A. Right after Security, take a left, and take the first elevator to your right to the 2nd floor. You’ll be in a corridor where you’ll be directed to the lounge with signs.

Opening Hours : 24/7
