Middle Eastern Lounge Access

Don't know if this has been covered before - didn't see anything in the archives.

American Express has a deal offering Middle Eastern lounge membership to those of us living in the area. For Bahrain, the charge is 35 BD a year (about $90) and offers lounge access lounges listed below.

It looks like a nice gap filler between other lounge memberships and Priority Pass. I'm going to give it a go and will report results.

Details from American Express:

Just present your American Express Card to the reception staff at any of the following lounges:

Al Ghazal Lounge, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.

Crown Lounge, Amman, Jordan

Dilmun Lounge, Bahrain

Cedars Lounge, Beirut, Lebanon*

Egyptian Aviation Services (EAS) - Terminal 2, Cairo, Egypt

Executive Lounge, Damascus, Syria

Marhaba Lounge, Dubai, U.A.E. (Terminal 1 and 3)

Pearl Lounge, Kuwait

Oman Air Lounge, Muscat, Oman

Oryx Lounge - Doha, Qatar
To qualify for Complimentary Airport Lounge Access, kindly ensure that you make your Card payments on time. Guest admission will be subject to the admission fees and policies of each airport lounge.

*As per the lounge policy of Cedars Lounge at Beirut-Rafic Hariri Airport, Lebanon, guests will not be allowed access.
