It really is a fascinating place and the people grow on you
It might be true what they say. "Cities that make a bad first impression, usually end up being the ones you will love the most". I suppose I'd might give Cairo another shot, and definitely fit a visit to the pyramids.

And if I had access to Lufthansa's Senator Lounge, I'd definitely be checking in early. From lighting to seats to food, it looked really nice.
Hello there, nice to hear from the master himself!
I do indeed use a 10-24mm wide-angle lens. I have a fisheye as well, but I don't use it as much these days when the wide-angle does the job better. The beaches in Dubai looked pristine, and I regret not spending more time there. Little did I know that most beaches there are open to the public. I'm already planning my next trip there, and I'll definitely make sure to pack my swimming shorts.
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge was indeed nice despite its small size, but given the fact that Emirates is the king at Dubai their lounges are far more superior, albeit not as cozy.

I guess you'd better redeem those quick because SAS is getting rid of their intra-European Business Class as of June 9th this year.
