Does anyone have any experience of the stop over in the Maldives on the DXB-CMB flight (EK658 / EK652). I have to travel to CMB on business and I usually go on the direct flight but I am taking my husband and children with me and it is cheaper to go on the indirect flight. Is it a case of hanging around the airport for 8 hours or can you leave and see the sights. If you can see the sights are there any sights to see?
