Birmingham to Dubai

---

06 October 2015

Emma and the boys dropped us off at Birmingham Airport in plenty of time to catch the 09.40 Emirates plane and after a pleasant flight in a half empty cabin we arrive in Dubai at 19.30.

From the air conditioned airport we transferred to the air conditioned metro and only got hit by the 35° heat on the 10 minute walk along the huge Sheikh Zayed Road to the Crowne Plaza Hotel where we dived into the air conditioning again.

We were upgraded to a palatial suite on the 15^th floor with panoramic views over the City and its skyscrapers. A good first taste of the Dubai high life.
