Dubai
Here some impression of the "World's busiest Building Place"
Constructions everywhere!
And it is incredibly hot and humid.

building somewhere?....)
The world's highest building under construction
The world's only 7 Star Hotel with helicopter

Dubai to Muscat (Oman)
an R&R day at Dubai, touring around the place, we had an early
evening
snack at the hotel Club and went to bed early this to allow sufficient
rest for
an early start this morning. The planned early morning was due to the
very hot
climate early this to allow sufficient rest for an early start this
morning.
The planned early morning was due to the very hot climate.
The Hotel looked after us well and we were served a hot breakfast in
our room
and thereafter all went well with clearing Dubai authorities with the
help of
our Agent, Executive Flight services. We were airborne at by 7 AM and
landed at
Muscat Airport (with an ILS approach) at 08:30. This was a record for
us.
Muscat Airport was very hot again and we cleared customs as -aircrew
with a
minimum of fuss. We rented a Hertz Rented car and attempted to drive to
our
Hotel, the intercontinental at the shores of the Indian Ocean.
We managed to get totally lost on the highway. Here we traveled so far
half way
around the world with all our modern Navigation aids in the plane. But
give us
a relatively simple task on the ground, to find a hotel only a few
miles away,
we totally got lost for the start.
After finally finding our Hotel, and booked into our up class executive
room
(at Airline rate), we spent time in the pool and then started detailed
flight
planning for the legs ahead. As the next leg to the Maldives Islands
will be
our first leg all over the water (estimated flight time approx. 10
Hrs), we
will take our time and an extra day, to ensure the plane again in A1
condition
and all the planning perfectly completed.
As Muscat is again very hot place at 46 degrees and high humidity, we
spend
most of our time indoors or at the pool
