9 hours layover at DXB (Dubai); any place to stay/rest within the airport?
We are traveling with 2 little kids from SFO in economy cabin. With the long 9 hour layover at Dubai Airport, is there any hotels inside the airport that we can use points/miles to rest/stay? Is there any airport lounges that we can use? I have United lounge passes & Regus business world pass.
Is it recommended to stay at Holiday Inn which is few miles away from the airport for a little nap and then coming back to do all the security check before boarding the flight?
Concerned.

The exact same question was asked and answered in the Middle East forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/middl...-stopover.html

Since this inquiry concerns a Middle East airport, the discussion should continue here in the dedicated ME forum where it may be subject to merging with earlier threads.
Good luck.

That's clearly not beach time! I would suggest staying up as long as possible, dinner in the airport, so that you maximise sleep on the second flight, but appreciate this may be tricky with kids.
