Sleep Box coming to Dubai Airport
Sleep Box
Rumor has it that Dubai Airport is installing 50-70 ‘Sleep Boxes’. Sleep Boxes are small cubicle spaces that are available at public places like Airports, train stations etc where people can book the ‘box’ for set time period to catch some sleep. It offers a small resting space while you wait for that connection in few hours. Ofcourse it doesnt come with attached washroom…you can use a public one for that. The concept is not new as Japan already has ‘Capsule Hotels’ that serve the same purpose. The only difference is that Sleep Boxes are bigger in size and give space to sit and sleep.
Sleep Boxes are designed by Arch Group [Russia]
SLEEPBOX is intended primarily to perform one main function – to enable a person to sleep peacefully. But it can also be equipped with various additional functions, depending on the situation. Application of the device can be very broad, not only in the form of paid public service, but also for internal purposes of organizations and companies.
- Size: 2 m x 1,40m x 2,30m to sleep in comfort and security.
- Cheap sleep in case of emergency for anyone rich or poor!!
- No time wasted looking for a hotel
- Designed to be installed at train stations and airports, and central public places or cities where accommodation is fully booked.
- In tropical climate countries the sleeper box can be installed outdoors in main streets.
- The space includes bed, linen, ventilation system, alarm. LCD TV, WiFi , space for your laptop and re chargeable phone. Under your bed and floor there is a cupboard for your luggage.
- Payment is made at terminals who will give clients an electronic key that can be purchased for 15 minutes or for as many hours as you need.

Dubai, that fantastic city … It is everyone’s favourite city
Great Idea…will be more convenient to travel or shopping over night in Dubai

Now you can travel with a peace of mind. With this amazing box, Many people would love to go in Dubai.
if prison was like this i wouldnt mind livin there
good one hats off to the inventor………
Great idea / pictures but Yotel seems to be there already apparently!!
these shouldn't be located in that 'valuable' waiting area so that people can sleep. if you want to sleep in one of these, they should be located in a less public area and utilizing far less floor area than shown. i realize this is a concept model, but in this model they are using up far to much space in a waiting area that could be used for something far more relevant for the space (for example, chairs). other than this location issue, great idea.
I don't think I would like to sleep in one of those.
I have heard of this project and I think that this is a wonderful idea. People sometimes forget that sleep is an essential part of them being healthy. Offering such an opportunity must be applauded. Congrats Dubai!!!
IN about 3 years this sleeping boxes will be in all the big airports in the world.
no bath? or if I want to drink or eat something?
IF IT CAN BE TRANSPORTED TO SOUTH POLE ,,,,,SURE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ONE…………………….
