I have flown through Dubai a few times and now with the new Terminal 3 wondered what were the A380 capable gates? Maybe if they do not bother with 3 bridges, any large gate will do, as long as a gate next to it or either side of it is free if too squeezy.
I thought 18 of the 20 gates in Terminal 3, are capable. Those not were: D10 and A1?(being 2 bridge)
And not sure about Terminal 2. I was told B13,15,17,19, and 21, but a look on Google indicates 5 triple arm gates at F18,19,20,21,and 22.
In July of 2015, I used B14 for a A380 DXB - BNE, but maybe this one special as the previous aircraft had mechanical issues in gate A3 and they had to re-position another aircraft.
On another A380 flight that month, DXB CDG, it was from gate B3
