Never Waste A Stopover

I’m not one to miss the opportunity to explore a new place, even straight after a 14 hour flight. So I made the most of my 17 hour stop over and went to explore Dubai. I got the feeling that this was a global hub that the white man had very little to do with. It was very multi-cultural, with Arab, Africans, Indians and Asians. But I felt like I stood out. I stayed in the old parts of the city and didn’t venture out to visit the million star hotels. I walked round for a few hours, then sought refugee in an air conditioned mall. I then went back to my hotel to sleep away the sweltering afternoon heat, before returning to the airport for my flight the Pakistan.
