I will also visit DXB early next year and I just cant wait.

If you would like to get to CAI as cheap as possible would a charterflight be an option?

Yes, CAI is still the place for RTW but not as cheap as it was until a few weeks ago. Check out the Star forum and search for RTW from CAI with TG as carrier. They had an amazing price(It later turned out that they hadnt update their price for two years or something like that).
