THE ARABIAN PENINSULA
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
THE EMIRATE OF DUBAI
325 Kilometres – 9 Days
Cape Town, South Africa – Dubai, UAE
The flight from Cape Town, South Africa to Dubai, UAE via Doha was
uneventful, except for arriving in Dubai at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m.
Mercifully, Anton and Andre, friends of my friend, Lois, who lived in
Oman at the time, collected me from the airport. I was extremely
grateful to them as Dubai was mightily expensive. If not for them, I
would’ve had a somewhat pricey start to the UAE. Once at their
home, our chatter continued until 5 a.m. before finally turning in for
the night.
