There are certain times of day in Dubai that you will find aircraft holding. Normally this will be for 10-20 minutes, but can be a lot longer. Throw in some fog and it can easily be an hour. Rush hour in the morning is now from around 0430 until 0700, the holding will start at about 10 minutes and will steadily increase towards the 40 minute mark.
If I'm a passenger I simply watch some more tv!
Hope you had a great honeymoon!
