Dubai

Dubai was a short two day trip en route to Doha. We left KLIA on the 24th October at about 8.30pm, after a one hour flight delay. We flew Emirates.

Adik didn't fare very well on this flight because he had a bad cold that didn't go away. Poor thing, he suffered throughtout the whole journey. Dadi had to carry him almost throughout the whole flight. Luckily the crew were very friendly and accommodating. During the flight, they actually laid out a blanket for Adik to play in the galley. Adik was not comfortable in the cramped seats eventhough he had a seat all for himself. The takeoff and landing was the worst for Adik due to the cabin air pressure. BTW, the flights were extremely cheap ...RM1060 for a return flight to Doha as opposed to Rm3000+.

After almost 7 hours of flying, we finally landed at Dubai Airport. The bus transfer from the aircraft to the passenger terminal took a good 10 minutes or so. Uncle Hazem, Tok Dadak's friend waited for us at the airport. It was very nice of him to do so. We stayed at the Ibis Hotel, Dubai.

As we had only one and a half days to see Dubai, Dadi decided to hire a cab for 2 hours to drive us around. We visited the must sees ...

My parents did not do any shopping here because there was Doha to come. They were also trying to reduce the amount of baggage they were lugging around.

Uncle Redza and Auntie Kolin showed us the old Dubai by night after taking us out for a fantastic dinner.
