Default Doha Airport - Lounge?

I have a 6 hour wait at Doha Airport coming up between flights and my previous experience of the airport is not filling me with happiness. I couldn't find anywhere when I was there that served a beer, whoch would help pass the time!

I have heard there is a lounge somewhere that you can pay to get into, is this true, where is it and what is in there? Does it cost to get in?

Any advice on how to get through six potentially very boring hours would be appreciated!

You poor sod. There is a business class lounge in the main terminal (even though there is a separate First/Business terminal). Not sure if you can pay to get into it.

Yes there's a lounge on the first floor opposite Costa coffee , if your a Skywards silver or gold member you can gain access for free , if not i think you can pay , not sure how much but im sure there's a facility for that.

It's worth paying because the airport is utter shite

You can use the ORYX lounge. Cost is $40.
No alcohol during Ramadan I'm told.

Ask for the Maharaba desk or representative if toy can't find it.

Thanks for all the advice! Reckon I'll glady part with 40 bucks to avoid 6 hours of rubbish. Luckily flying after Eid, phew.
