My
visit to Dubai was a very short business trip. I was invited by Marcus Evans,
an events organising company in England to present a paper in an Electrical
Engineering Forum in Dubai on 17 and 18th of May. They want me to
talk about Reliability Assessment of High Voltage systems, a program that I
implemented in Rio Tinto. Someone from Marcus Evans attended a conference in
Australia where I presented a similar paper and obviously they were
sufficiently impressed to invite me to Dubai. I flew to Dubai from Lisbon on
Sunday 17th, presented on 18th and flew back to Lisbon on
19th at 2 in the morning. I only had a couple of hours after the
conference finished to see some of the famous sights of Dubai. I got a taxi in
the hotel and asked him to take me to the famous hotel in New Dubai, the palm
tree shape development and the Atlantis Hotel. I was so tired at the end of the
conference that I felt like spewing in the taxi and cut my sight seeing tour
short and returned to the hotel where I had took a short nap before going to
the airport. Below are some photos that would give you a glimpse of my glimpse
of Dubai.
