When I was booking flights for my recent trip to India, I was lucky and found a cheap(ish) fare on Emirates that would give me a fourteen hour layover in Dubai. My plan was that I would visit the observation deck at the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world and photograph the Burj Al Arab, the only seven-star hotel in the world, in extremely short time I had.
Seemed simple enough, right? Well, not so much.
