Mohammed Murtallah is one nasty airport.
The place is hot and made worse by the facilities lacking air con systems.The moment you step out of the plane the tunnel is smelly and damp. Corruption is always order of the day.last time i was there i had to part with some money for some airport officials to give me back my passport and yellow fever certificate.It all started with the routine check of travel documents and one of the ladies requested for the documents and i obliged and upon getting them she started been nasty by questioning the authenticity of my yellow fever stamp saying it was not authentic.She passed them over to another rude lady and then she came near and asked YOU HAVE SOME MONEY.I was furious at first but i realised i was on the losing end and gave in after a 30 minutes stand off.
On my way back i tried the duty free and surprised.There are not more than 5 shops.SONY,DAVIVA ,some restaurant serving SNAILS on the menu,and another with perfumes,cigarettes and liquor.
Divers - can you laugh in scuba gear, or will you drown? I was wondering. - James May.
