This is an airport like no other – impressive enough to be a tourist attraction. So beautiful it’s worthy of a postcard. So spacious it should perhaps carry a trigger warning for agoraphobics.
Which makes the experience of being a passenger in Abu Dhabi’s new Zayed International Airport – comprising one single Terminal A – an utterly surreal one.
There’s no hassle, no jostling, no general sense of despair. No one likes a delay but here it means the chance
‘Welcome to the capital of the world!’ exclaimed our taxi driver as we crossed the Potomac into Washington DC.
My teenagers’ eyes shone with excitement.
Given that eight hours earlier they’d barely been speaking to me as I informed the British Airways stewardess I was a nervous flyer and therefore quite keen for a gin and tonic, things were looking up.

A small town lawyer from West Virginia was in for an extraordinary surprise when he discovered a 253-year-old pre-Revolutionary War fort hidden inside the walls of his Monroe County plantation home.
John Bryan, 43, a self-described history buff and amateur archeologist, purchased the property in 2019 with a hunch that the large white clapboard farmhouse was built around an old log fort known as Byrnside’s Fort.

The former Brighton winger only joined Mikel Arteta’s squad in January but might be at risk of slipping down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium if a deal for Kudus is completed this summer.

There are two such hot tubs on this 1,000ft-long ship. They are magical places to watch the sun go down, the moon come up, land disappear into the distance,
At the time of writing the merits of Rwanda as a refuge for asylum-seekers are being hotly debated in the UK – but one thing’s for sure, there’s no questioning the magic of its wild landscapes and the incredible animals that live in it.
