brytch:
Noticed some people had some trip reports but figured would be helpful opening a new master thread...

I have a 20 hour stop over.. curious as to whats recommended.. I'm definitely going for some early morning skiing...  looking for a safe market to buy some purim costumes.. what else is really neat?

What else is recommeded? land at 8am and leave at 4am... flying EK first (4 legs) happy to hear some feedback as well how the meals are... I'm on 2 380s and 2 777's

Has anyone Jewish looking gone? Thanks


damaxer91:
The malls are cool, but only thing that was WOW to me was the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi, about an hour drive away

AJK:
Curious -- what's your routing? What miles? (Yes, I'm assuming it's not a revenue EK F ticket.)

Cbs:
i have a full day stopover in Dubai. land at 6:45am and leave at 9:30pm

can i go in with an israeli student visa and a few stamps in my passport?? looking like a frum jew is a prob?

Dan:
