Check-in and security at the Terminal E International Central Processor; gate is in the connected D/E international concourse (airport records/Emirates' own office page still reference the Terminal D concourse for the gate/airport office).

Terminal E ticketing lobby. Bag drop usually closes 45 minutes before departure, so build that into your morning.
