Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (AUH)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board. Staying overnight at the airport

It is a very busy airport throughout the day and night. The new terminal is vast, with plenty of space for the large number of passengers passing through. Additionally, you'll find many things to do and places to visit, as staying inside the building overnight is a common option for travellers with long layovers or early morning flights. The place is noisy and quite cold, so make sure to bring earplugs and a coat if you decide to stay here at night.

Where to rest: There are many places to rest throughout the terminal. You will find comfortable seats and sofas to lie down on scattered around the building, and the area near gate C22 is ideal for resting, as it is generally not heavily used. There are also particularly comfortable chairs near baggage belts 8 and 9. Another option (if you are willing to pay a fee or have a credit card that provides the service) is to use one of the VIP lounges, which are open 24 hours a day. Additionally, in the transit area, there is a hotel, and there are several accommodation options in the surrounding area.

Baggage: There is a luggage storage office in the Arrivals Hall, level 0.

Eating and Drinking: Many food options are open around the clock.

Restrooms: Showers are available in the VIP lounges.

Wi-Fi: Free and unlimited.

Other services available around the clock: ATMs, currency exchange offices, duty-free shops, prayer rooms, baby changing facilities.
