The shortest distance between two points . . .

Thanks for the trip report. I'd personally love to experience EK first.

I, like you, came away fairly unimpressed with DXB during my visit there this past weekend. Interminably long walks from the departure/arrival building to the terminal building. And disappointing that I could not find a single decent Dubai souvenir t-shirt: everything seemed to either feature the "Fly Emirates" brand or the "Dubai Duty Free" brand, as if somebody would actually want to pay for a duty free advertisement.
