It's the best balance between price, timing, and length. I get 4 hours in Dubai and then go on for about a day in total, but cuz I start at midnight HKT and timezones, I land around 2pm which is quite perfect.
Yeah, means by the time I get out of the airport and stuff I can just check in to the hotel I'm staying at until I can move into my dorm, then just grab dinner and conk out
