Loooooong transit at Dubai Airport - 22時間のドバイ航空でのトランジット

Apologies for those who has been waiting for an update with my blog. I was trying to surprise some of my friends in Japan which turned out to be successful. Well this will be about 2 weeks ago when I visited Dubai Airport for the first time. The first thing I notice was how spacious the airport was and the air condition was dam cold. Which I was assuming that the temperature outside must be really HOT! The airport was nice, clean and some how majestic because of the huge pillars that stands forever. It feels like you are in a monument and not an airport.

So before my flight to Japan I have 22 hours to spend which I have no idea how... Well the good thing is that Emirates provides free hotel service for customers who has a more than 8 hours transit and not more than 24 hours. Pretty good deal as the hotel they provided was a 4star hotel. Plus with complete morning, lunch, dinner, and snack meal! The room was a double bed with all the necessary amenities with a good view of the city. Although it was a transit hotel provided by Emirates, the location of the hotel was not within the airport so I had the flexibility to go around the city.

友達をサプライズしたかったのでブログの更新が遅れてすみません。現在日本に帰国し待ったりしてるところです。フリーターってものになってるところですwww

2週間前の記事からになるのですがよろしくお願いします。モーリシャスからはドバイ、香港、シンガポールとマレーシアー経由で日本に行くことができ、私はドバイ経由で着ました。気になるオイルマネー大国をちょっとご拝見したかったのと中近東は初めてになるのでエミレーツ航空にていきました。

エミレーツ航空はトランジットが8時間以上になると無料でホテルが付きしかも、朝食、昼食、夜食、とスナックのクーポンが渡される。すばらしいいいい!それとビジネスクラスだけでなくエコノミーでも大丈夫だの4星ホテルに泊まらしてくれる。すばらしいサービスだと思い是非全航空会社はすべきするサービスだと思う。
ホテルは空港内ではなくバスで10分ぐらいしたところにあり、ホテルの中でいろいろと有料ツアー等がある。

ホテルから無料バスも一時間ごとにあり近場の巨大モールまで乗っけてくれる。

さすがドバイ!ドンだけお金が有り余ってるんだ。っとおもいつつ4時間ぐらい休憩をしてからモールをご拝見させてもらいました。
