'Lepak'ing at KLIA lounge We had to cancel plans to visit Turkey and Australia in 2016 for some reason, so it's been a while that we were not away on holiday. The last we had travel to Krabi in December 2015. UAE, or specifically Dubai, is actually not in our bucket list. So its kind of our high time travel plan. We initially booked the Thai Airways tickets and planned to stay in Bangkok for 2 nights, as we thought that not much can be done in Dubai and Sharjah, another city about 30 km from Dubai. We have been contemplating whether we should make side trips to Amman or Cairo, or at least 2 nights stay at Abu Dhabi. Upon checking on things to do in Dubai/Sharjah, little did we know that nothing can beat the mixture of old and new Dubai has to offer. We had to reschedule our flight, rather than 2 nights stay in Bangkok, we changed to a couple hours of transit instead. Finally, we settled down for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai, among the seven emirates in UAE.
