Isn't Dubai a major international stop over for long haul flights?
- bruce511 2y agoYes. The middle east is geographically well located for intercontinental traffic. So Emirates (and Qatar) serve has big hubs for long-distance travel. Dubai Airport is large, and runs 24x7. I've had a couple long layovers there (in the airside hotel) and its amazing to see the never-ending, round the clock, activity in the terminal. Indeed the shops etc in the terminal cannot be closed - there are literally no doors on them. Equally reporting flight boards are amazing. There are flights from everywhere to everywhere.
