Luxe hotels abound, amazing desert experiences await, business opportunities abound, restaurants offering global cuisines beckon and tempt, pristine beaches and the shopping…oh the shopping. Even if you’ve just got a short layover, massive amounts of retail therapy await within the incredible array of stores in the airport. It’s a whole world unto itself that you’ve got to really see to believe.
