Dubai   24/11/2022 - 03/12/2022    Dave Rose

SWMBO had a “Special” birthday so sun was on the cards, the Middle East is ideal at this time of the year so Dubai it was. The lure of flying on an A380 again meant an early drive over to Manchester, and we boarded A6-EOH on time in torrential rain. The departure and climb out were rather bouncy, but once at FL390 it was the last cloud we saw for the duration. Emirates A380’s are fitted with 3 cameras, nosewheel, downward and top of the tail, and these are interesting on take-off and landing.

The flight was chokka, with the majority using DXB as part of a longer journey, as the connections are excellent. On-board Wi-Fi helps pass the time, watching the aircraft around us on FR24, and football on the live TV system. The route over Holland, Germany, Bulgaria, Turkey and Iran lasted 6:41 and we arrived on runway 31 Left about 30 minutes early. DXB is busier during the night, with waves of Emirates and lots of Indian’s. 45 minutes later we were on the transfer SUV to the hotel, all very efficient.

Hotel’s that are spotter friendly are now hard to find in Dubai, since the famous Sheraton Deira was sold, but I thought the Riu would have possibilities. It is situated on a “New” Island reclaimed from the sea around 5 years ago, called Deira Island. In usual UAE style, the island has all the roads already constructed, before the buildings, other than 2 hotels on the north shore. The shell of a large shopping Mall has been built in the centre, to be finished in due course.

The hotel is slightly off the runway centreline about 2 miles away from DXB. When taking off toward the north, aircraft are passing at around 1,500ft, and when landing on 15 left they pass at around 1,000ft. Winds mean the favoured configuration in landing on 30L and departures off 30R, and this happened for most of my visit. Landings on 15L are usually first thing before the sea breeze starts. There are 3 SID's or departure routes, left after 2 miles, straight on, or right after 2 miles and are obviously dependant on the destination, and arrivals are put in a downwind leg between DXB and SHJ if from the north or east. If landings are on 15L, they flow in from all 3 directions, and nothing is missed.

The hotel favours registration collectors, and with the aid of FR24/ADSB, nothing will be missed. The best place for watching the action is from the private beach, where photo’s are possible, especially in the morning’s.The hotel WiFi is very strong, with FR24 being at full tilt on the beach, a spotters dream!!

Block A is the right hand block, with aircraft appearing slightly right and above the block if on runway 30R.

Another view of block A, rooms 7,8,9001 are at the end to the right side

The view from 7015, showing the Sharjah approach and departure just above the buildings

In terms of facilities, the hotel is the only All Inclusive hotel in Dubai, and food and drink is excellent. There are 4 restaurants, the main, Lebanese, Asian and Italian, and these are included and can be used as many times as you want. There are loads of bars, with everything available and free of charge. Rooms are to be expected for a RIU hotel, with air conditioning and balcony, and ceiling fan for those who don’t like aircon. The mini bar is filled daily as part of the all inclusive. All water sports are free including Instructor’s and the beach beds etc are readily available.

The added attraction of the beach is that it faces the Sharjah departure / arrival routes, with Air Arabia being prominent, but the odd IL76 and interesting freighter to pad out your log. There are lots of OTT’s coming and going from DWC and AUH, as well as lots of trailing (hopefully) high level stuff.

The hotel has 9 floors, with 3 room types, standard, part sea view and sea view. They have 2 ¾ beds in each room so its OK to “share”. Spotters have a choice of what they can see from the rooms, 7001-13, 8001-135 and 9001-13 face west so all movements at DXB can be seen, but no views of Sharjah or the downwind arrivals from the north. These are part sea view rooms. I stayed in 7015 which faces north and most movements can be seen as well as Sharjah and downwind arrivals, and was a sea view room. Some departures turn sharp left off 30R and you can see them using the corridor windows if you use FR24, and you are in the north facing rooms. The sea view rooms are 7014 – 25, 8014 – 25 and 9014 – 25.

Our visit coincided with the World Cup in nearby Qatar, and the hotel had lots of Welsh, Brazilian and Argentinian supporters, who used the shuttles from DWC with FlyDubai and Qatar Airways to attend games.

In summary, the Riu Dubai is an excellent choice for a sun / spotting mixture, which keeps everyone happy!! Taxis to the sights are cheap, between £20 - £25 each way, and taking 30 – 45 minutes, although the driving standards are a bit dodgy generally.

In terms of traffic, clearly Emirates and FlyDubai dominate, but all the middle east airlines are present, along with long haul from Africa, the far east and Russia. Cargo is well represented, with FedEx, UPS and DHL using DXB as a stop en-route to the far east and Europe. Emirates Cargo has moved over to DWC and some Biz now go there, but there is still a good variety at DXB. I cleared my Emirates fleet, and needed 5 FlyDubai and 6 Air Arabia on departure, and totalled 322 new frames, so a decent haul for a “non-spotting” trip.

As mentioned, its not ideal for photography, the position and winter light dont help, and you need at least a 400mm lens to stop the cropping seen below, but the below gives an idea of traffic etc. Please double click for full frame
