Return flight via Dubai

Everything beautiful has an end... my return flight is approaching. Duncan kindly takes me to the airport, we say goodbye with the secure knowledge of seeing each other again.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a window seat for the flight to Dubai, but it's more of a night flight anyway. I land in Dubai at 05:45 in the morning, at the passport control, they give me a SIM card with a small credit as a welcome gift, very friendly...
I buy a day ticket for the metro and go to the hotel, they kindly allow me to check in early, where I catch up on some sleep. In the afternoon, I then go to the city, I have a ticket for the observation deck of the tallest building in the world, the 800m high Burj Khalifa. Before that, I stroll through the city mall next door, 3 floors full of shops and restaurants, in the middle a huge aquarium with sharks and stingrays.

The view from a height of 450m is impressive, the whole city is at your feet.

The next morning, I fly on to Frankfurt early in the morning, with ICE, RE, train and bus, I then go back home.
