For my second trip to the Maldives I could no longer fly
Reunion>Seychelles, Seychelles>
Male as I had done in 2004. I had to fly Reunion>Mauritius, Mauritius>
Dubai, then Dubai>Male. However I had a 21 hour stopover on my outgoing flight, and a 15 hours stopover on my return flight.
On the outward journey as I didn't know Dubai I set out to explore it, and these are some of my photos.
