Dubai

United Arab Emirates · January 2023

Stayed: Waldorf Astoria DIFC, two nights
Paid with: Hilton Honors points, 80,000 a night
Where: 25.21° N · 55.28° E

Coming first: the Maldives, where I flew in from.

Where I stayed · Waldorf Astoria Dubai International Financial Centre

The hotel was fine, but I didn’t like Dubai at all. But I was there, so I want to show what I can.

Coming next: more photos from Dubai, once I find them.

Business class to Munich, then first class home on LH424. Booked a few days before on Avianca LifeMiles, 187,080 miles + $249.70 for two, when a better flight opened up a day earlier. Only food pictures from this one.
