Dubai, the hub of Middle East, cash cow for many people from India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Philippines etc, and no body would have
imagined that this desert area before thirty fourty years would serve
as a heart of the Middle East. Had a chance to explore this wonderful
city once again, thanks to my German passport that I require no visa and
could use my connecting flight from Chennai to Dubai and from Dubai to
Hamburg.
Last time when I went, Burj Khalifa was under construction. This time
had a chance to go to the top of the tallest building in the world, The
Burj Khalifa. It was indeed a masterpiece of civil engineering, has
about 200 floors. One gets a panoramic view of the city of Dubai from
the top of Burj Khalifa. Also had a chance to see the colourful and
picturesque waterfall show near the Dubai Mall which I missed last time.
What really fascinates me about Dubai is the influx of so many
nationalities in one City. Even though many people complain about the
torrid working conditions of many construction workers, one has to agree
to the fact that Dubai is definitely the cash cow for the Indian state
of Kerala and to some extent for the Civil and Chemical Engineers of the
sub continent.
Dubai airport is definitely one of the highly sophisticated and modern
airports in the world with connecting flights through out the world. If
you have connecting flight via Dubai, don’t miss out the fun which this
city offers. It was fitting end to my long vacation of seven weeks in
India, that I could explore the warmth of Dubai before I was frozen by
Europe cold. Thanks to Damo and Mohan, my good friends who helped me to
explore Burj Khalifa and the waterfall show.
