The LH lounge in DXB isn't too bad - infact, it's quite nice during non-peak hours. I used the lounge with my dad recently, he was *G on SIN and was let in without hassle; whereas I was LH SEN, but on MU to KMG - and asked whether I was allowed in (even though I really only had access to the AF/Marhaba/Whatever lounge E+ is entitled to); she was hesitant at first, but agreed to let me in which was nice of her.
Beats the AF lounge, thats for sure - however, they both beat waiting in the terminal!

I was there earlier this month, and can confirm that there are no showers in the LH lounge at DXB. The lounge had a decent selection of snacks and spirits, but not having a shower at what is the only Star Alliance lounge at DXB is a disappointment. Thankfully, I was able to access another lounge with my Priority Pass membership in order to take a shower.

Since the LH Lounge doesn't open until 18:00 are there any other lounges *A Gold can access? Marhaba?
I arrive on an EK flight at 13:45 and my SQ flight is at 20:00. Unfortunately, 6 hours is about the worst amount of time to have to kill in the airport unless I go run up a $100+ tab at McGettigan's (what I ended up doing last time I had a layover like this).

Just wondering, is there still a *A lounge in Dubai? All the posts referring to it are from years ago. It hasn't recently been mentioned.

You can plug and play with the link provided but I don't think you'll come up with any different info...
