The prices for luggage storage are very outdated.
Thanks, I'll edit!
The old terminals still haunt this place. There are also drinking fountains in the landside, for example in front of the men's toilet near the kiosk where they sell the Hafilat card.
The drinking fountains are also in front of the control at the toilets.
Snack and drink vending machines are scattered around the terminal. They take cards and cash, so they're handy for getting rid of the last dirham.
Even Travelex has ATMs here.
