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.
