00:00Putting the fuel on and it will be starting up basically.

00:17Firstly we departed the Jebel Ali marina here, we taxied out towards the Jebel Ali port,

00:24we got our clearance from ATC and we departed towards the west and then we started a nice

00:28curving left turn to climb over the top of the Jebel Ali palm.

00:33We climbed to about 2,000 feet, nice smooth conditions, we headed northbound up the coast

00:38towards Dubai.

00:40First thing we saw was the Jebel Ali port underneath us extending out towards where

00:44the cranes are.

00:45We headed past that, past Ibn Battuta Discovery Gardens and then we started into the Dubai

00:49marina area.

00:50We had Dubai marina and Jumeirah Lakes Towers on the left as we went past Jumeirah Palm

00:55and then we approached the Burj Al Arab 7 star resort and we just turned over the top

00:59of that then to the right and headed towards the world which we saw about two minutes later.

01:04Just east of the world we saw the Antarctica and basically the whole world laid out to

01:08the left.

01:09Very good visibility today.

01:10And then we started a gradual right turn towards the Burj Khalifa which we saw coming up on

01:14the right hand side.

01:15Burj Khalifa looked really nice today, nice and clear conditions, it's up to about 2,700

01:20feet.

01:21We did a nice left turn over the top of the flagpole and just south of the dry docks area

01:25where Port Rashid is.

01:27Basically the return route was much the same as the way up and we saw the Burj Al Arab

01:30on the left hand side as we turned southeast and then Jumeirah Palm again on our right

01:35hand side as we worked our way southbound.

01:37We started a descent over the Jebel Ali port and we saw again another look at the Jebel

01:42Ali Palm as we started our descent into the resort here as we went past it to the south

01:47and then turned northbound for a northbound landing.
