Landed at Dubai at about 0515 hrs in the early morning. After clearing the security checks for transiting passengers, was greeted by a crowded departure hall that looked like a Shopping Mall having the "Great Dubai Sales". Whilst many tired passengers were seen lying around, many were browsing the many duty free shops. For passengers on more than 4 hrs between transists, the Airline offered a free meal at a local restaurant, which saw a super long queue of hungry looking people.
There also a model of a Formula-One racing car on display which was a "must-stop" for pictures. Though there was a lovely girl standing by the car to draw the crowd but she was not catching much attention. Everyone just wanted to take a photo of the car ... poor girl had to stand aside for she was blocking some of the photographers who uses simple handphone cameras to DSLRs.
The spacous airport had high ceilings and were lined by palm trees making the entire place like a hidden oasis, in the middle of some buskering market place. The only shortfall in this busy airport was the lack of toilets. Queues for the toilets is a common sight with some in line looking quite desperate !!!
