I'm going to start doing a trip status report every week or two.
This week:
The trip itinerary page now also includes updated tourist attractions provided by the N. sisters. https://dubaitripinfo.blogspot.com/p/trip-itine.html
Will do a separate Food page and list interesting eating establishments soon.
Government of Canada travel website: Global Travel Advisory still in effect.
I searched the latest Youtube videos about Dubai this week and found a lot of Russian travellers are going there. Also, found this video about Dubai Airport Covid protocols: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBUyWSTgnzo
Regarding Covid Travel and Medical Insurance, I found this article that says there are companies that will insure you despite the travel advisory. For example, SafetyWing will provide coverage for 4 weeks at about $150 CDN.
Haven't checked all the fine print yet, so just consider it info at this point.

That's it for this week.
