For our trip to the United Arab Emirates we chose a 5-star hotel on the Gulf of Oman. At the Fairmont Fujairah Beach Resort, in the far north and a bit remote but with a lot of charm, we were hoping for an Arabian dream. We spent almost a week here and had a good time. You can find out how we liked the hotel and everything around it in this article.

Germany in November: rain, fog and low temperatures. In order to escape these weather conditions, we started looking for a sunny destination quite early in February. The decision quickly fell on the United Arab Emirates. On November 3, 2017, we flew to Dubai in Lufthansa Economy Class on a Boeing 747-400.
Before our departure to Dubai we visited the Lufthansa Senator Lounge B-Gates Frankfurt. Alongside the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, this is the only Star Alliance Gold Lounge in the non-Schengen area of Terminal 1B. You can find out more about the lounge at Frankfurt Airport in the review.

Different culture, different food, different people ... you can find out how relaxing and child-loving the United Arab Emirates are in the following article.
I've read a lot of good things about the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge Frankfurt on a wide variety of blogs. Some frequent flyers even consider it one of the best Star Alliance Gold Lounges at Frankfurt Airport. Before our flight to Dubai we had time to visit the lounge.
