How long can I stay in Al Maha Lounge?

You may stay up to 6 hours in the Al Maha Lounge or Oryx Lounge if access is purchased through Qatar Airways or Al Maha Services website or sales office.



If you are accessing the Al Maha Lounge at Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH) via a lounge pass (like Priority Pass, DragonPass, or a credit card benefit), the standard stay limit in 2026 is 4 hours. This time limit is strictly enforced during peak transit hours (midnight to 4:00 AM) to manage capacity and ensure all passengers have a place to rest. However, if you have purchased a "Meet and Assist" package or a dedicated Al Maha transit service, your access may be extended based on your specific flight connection. If you have a significantly longer layover (e.g., 8–12 hours), you might be asked to leave and re-enter (if your pass allows) or consider the Oryx Airport Hotel or the "Sleep 'n Fly" pods located within the terminal. Note that the lounge is open 24/7, but it does not have dedicated beds; for sleep, you would need to use the "Quiet Rooms" or the aforementioned airport hotel.
