"If you're heading in for an afternoon of work and coffee, wifi signal is strongest upstairs. Great people watching and appreciation angle for the interior design from table bench by top of stairs."

"Book a table in one of the conservatories surrounded with floor-to-ceiling windows.. The most tranquil and greenery-filled setting for meal in Dubai. Ask to be served dessert outside on the sofas."

"Early flight for arrival or departure? Don't sweat. Costa Coffees all over T3 pre and post check-in/baggage claim."

"Very convenient with 24hr timings BUT the well-hidden Choitrams a few buildings away (DEC Tower) is less expensive, always has parking, stocks a lot more, is bigger with full fresh food counters."

"Great lunch options in the area. Some are a bit hidden. Lime Tree cafe in concord tower is ideal, as are the eateries in Thuraya Tower by the BBC Building."

"Lack of working lunch spots in this tower (Kebab Shop doesn't go well with suits), but a short stroll to the BBC Building or Thuraya Tower will give you plenty of decent options. Avoid Gloria Hotel."
