#35 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES


Dubai was the first place I visited in the Middle East, even if it was just a short layover on my way to Afghanistan in 2012. I don't have much to say about Dubai except that I generally avoided transiting through it over the next several years in favor of the more interesting Istanbul, which also had a direct connection to/from Kabul. Eventually, though, I did learn to appreciate the lazy appeal of a destination with no purpose, where all you do is lounge by the pool, order room service junk food, and watch movies all night :)

The Burj Khalifa - the tallest structure ever built, Dubai

2 AM in Dubai Airport T2, and I finally give in to the days-long temptation of fried chicken junk food. I hate myself. It was delicious.

Lounging by the pool the best there is to do in Dubai :)
