Dubai Duty Free, November 2009, Late at Night
I had a 4 hours layover at Dubai this time on the Manchester-Dubai-Delhi flight. I must have clicked at least 400 photos at the duty free. 4 might have come well! But I still liked the video that I made there. On the other hand I made only 2 videos. Shows my preference for still photographs!
In 2002 I have spent a 23 hours 40 minutes layover at Dubai and just at the airport! The place felt very very familiar.
And that photo dispute has almost driven away the memories of this trip that usually linger for about a few weeks after return.

    Sangfroid every other person at the Dubai Airport is with a camera and they never said anything to anyone so I guess they are OK with it.Tarun I was at Lancaster when I heard about that possibility of the debt default. And when I was returning it did not seem to be the same glittering Dubai anymore 😀 But good that Abu Dhabi decided to bail them out.
