Dubai - June 2025

My second trip to Dubai but my first one into the Dubai office.

I flew Cathay from Hong Kong and arrived Sunday night. Dubai is four hours behind Hong Kong.

On the tarmac at HKIA...

Leaving Hong Kong...

Easy transit through passport control and into an Uber. Checked into the Ritz Carlton Dubai IFC. The room was large...

And the bathroom was massive...

It was late but I didn't feel like going to bed, so I went to the hotel bar called the Sunken Lounge.

The room rate was very reasonable and I had a USD100 voucher for food and drink. So I had a cocktail and went to bed.

Monday morning I had breakfast in the hotel. The selection is fantastic...

I had some fruit then avocado toast....

I then walked to the office which was only 10 minutes away but it's super hot. It ended up getting to 40 degrees that day.

After work I went to a Japanese restaurant close by called Clap.


You can see the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest structure, from many places in Dubai...


On the Tuesday I went to the gym and checked out the pool...


Due to Iran firing misssiles at Qatar, I decided to jump on an earlier flight so I left Dubai on Tuesday night, one day earlier than planned. 

Easy overnight flight back to Hong Kong.
