Dubai and Emirates Business Lounge
As we approached Dubai, I took these pictures out the window from my upper deck seat on Emirates A380 Business Class. This is a city to behold. The plane landed as gracefully as it took off. Many ‘thank you’ and ‘good-bye’ all around. Dubai Business Lounge Dubai airport is huge. We disembarked, went through security,…
