Also included are a selfie mirror that uses Emirates destinations as backgrounds, self serve kiosks, and Emirates-branded merchandise and travel accessories.

The store builds on Emirates’ history in Pakistan, with the country a part of its network for more than 30 years. The store builds on that by providing excellent service and customer participation in the West Asia region.
