Dubai is indeed very nice. I flew in to that place all the time at one point in my career; That is the only place in the middle east that I would leave the hotel to get dinner. There was a mall about 1 mile from the Metropolitan Palace where we stayed, and other than the traditional Arab garb on the occasional shopper....if you didn't know where you where, you'd swear you were in Pittsburg! Dubai does its very best to look like the west.

As to the airport? It works, it is well done, but in my opinion, Hong Kong is better. Orlando beats them all! In my opinion, Orlando International Airport is the best airport in the world. It is big, it moves people quickly, it is nicely designed. It does everything right.
