If it is anything like Dubai most of the action is at night when the international flights arrive and depart. My flights in and out are always at 1 or 2 in the moring to and from Europe.

thats more than i do

i had an uncle who worked on civil engineering projects there once. one time he brought me back this arabian compass that was made out of metal and was about an inch think... looks just like a landmine.

yeah, he got stopped at every single security check point...
