I am in Kuwait International Airport right now.. We planned a short trip to Moscow, as I always wanted to visit Moscow long time ago, and finally decided to do so. We book our flights via Etihad Airways. From Kuwait to Abu Dhabi and then from there to Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow. Our Flight scheduled 11:15 PM from Kuwait to Abu Dhabi and we reached there at 12:55 AM for an 8 hours transit.  We wanted to stay at the Airport Hotel but it was quite expensive! Finally we decided to stay at Al Dhabi Lounge to pass time there.

The Lounge was good. Shower rooms, and the food was good as well.

Our flight to Domodedovo at 8:45 AM on the 6th of June 2013. We reached Moscow at 2:10 PM.

and from there we exchanged some Dollars for Rubles for the taxi at the airport. The price is normally less at the airport and it’s recommended to exchange the currency at the hotel. at the Airport Exchange the $1 equals 26 Rubles. and the taxi asked for 2500 Rubles from the Airport to our hotel (Hotel National).

The traffic was too bad, it took us 2 hours to reach the hotel. The exchange rate at the hotel was much better $1 = 31.76 Rubles. and 32.90 if you want to sell. We’ve upgraded our room to a studio with a view to the Kremlin.

The staff at the hotel welcomed us with some biscuits which they call cookies. Thy were yum yum yum.

Everything were a walking distance from our hotel. we didn’t take metro or taxi. The red Square is 12 minutes walk from the hotel and the other attractions is about 25 minutes walk. We payed the hotel in cash and headed to Bushka Restaurant which was recommended by many on the Internet.

I’ve ordered the Napoleon Mille Feuille which was delicious !
