9 hours in Dubai and then back on the plane Dubai gate 23 blue sky for a change  I was here once for about 3 months, and did not get many blue skies. More like a sandy desert dust haze Dubai home of Emirates Airways no British Airways plane in sight but busy like heathrow up next Dubai Al Rigga Dubai Creek ( looking more like a river ) goo Port Rashid feels like every time I am here there is another Island being built now that's a view Sheikh Zayed Road. Been up and down there a few times, and some of those arabs in their fancy cars drive along there like maniacs at over 180 km an hour Burj Khalifa Meydan Hotel and racecourse what a view ! Flying to the Oman sea was hoping to get a good shot fo the Maldives again, but clouds set in and then the sun set , so I went to bed instead
