Abu Dhabi International Airport

En route from Mumbai to Paris CDG, and three months later on the ‘retour’. A great duty free. Almost got offloaded EY205, narrowly catching my flight after dozing off in the four and a half hour jet lagged wait on the first floor. Picked up 2 bottles of Glen (got a bag free) and a 20-pack of Lucky Strike. Eyed the Canon Digital EOS.

It is my only experience of the middle east, and I was 9 years old. It was hot and dry, and people wore long white clothes.

I’d like to go back now that I have a friend from/living in the UAE.
