Its none of my business but the heck was she doing in Dubai??
RIP
Dubai has turned into this major hub for European flights. Etihad Airlines operate primarily out of the area. Lots of Europeans will have some end-point in Asia or Australia...but will stop in for two or three days in Dubai to do shopping or six-star hotel stays.
A lot of Europeans love Dubai. We have some friends from the UK who honeymooned there. They loved it.
