Dubai, 2.30 AM

Flight cancellation due to inclement weather en route home led to a day's stopover at Dubai. Had a great tête-à-tête with old friends and a quick visit around Dubai.

A picture of Dubai at 2.30 am.

Dubai Frame

Rising 150 meters from Dubai’s Zabeel Park, Dubai Frame, the “World’s Largest Picture Frame” has officially opened in the UAE. The structure is the latest in the city’s line of eye-catching megaprojects, offering up panoramic views of the skyline while framing views of iconic buildings such as the Burj Khalifa for visitors and residents all across the city.

Clouds, setting sun and a window seat all came together in this shot during the flight from Dammam to Dubai this week.

Dubai from over the Arabian Gulf, as the Emirates flight sets course for Kolkata. The tall building poking through the smog and the mist is the Burj Khalifa.

Dammam-Dubai-Kolkata

Some photos from my recent trip home. Cramped seats, lousy food and an excruciating six hour layover at Dubai airport summed up the flight home.

The Irish Pub @ Dubai Airport

A pub, a business class lounge and a smoking room - the three most important things!
