Captian Tom, opening cowling–to cool engine.

**Bahrain: just visable in the intense haze.**

Dubai: IFR approach to final…last minute visual of RAIL lights (at 400 ft.). No photos of final approach, but it was a perfect landing! Following taxi directions to parking is another challenge — great system of green lights to direct us.

**Turn on the taxi guidence lighting system!**

Originally a small fishing village, Dubai created the busiest souks on the Persian Gulf coast.

The Hotel: Burj Al Arab Designed to resemble a billowing sail, the hotel soars to a height of 321 meters, dominating the Dubai coastline. At night, it offers an unforgettable sight, surrounded by choreographed color sculptures of water and fire (it would be better without the current dust storm-like intense haze).
