Go Around at OMDB Today...
I was outside my house late this afternoon (watching aircraft on final for 30L) when I heard an a/c go full power over Mirdiff... By the time I looked up from watching my daughter, I could not discern the a/c type or carrier, and saw it retract the gear and do a fly past of OMDB
Anyone have more info?

This is fairly common in Dubai.
It is a relatively busy airport and sometimes the spacing can close up to the minimum and it results in either ATC or the pilots deciding to go-around.
If its done above 1000' it really isn't a big deal.
Just a waste of fuel and time.

@ Wiz & Fubar,
No need to get all sarcastic... I was merely asking for more info.
I was not sensationalizing the fact that and a/c went around... I know this is a very common occurrence - I am not stupid.
I was merely interested to find out why it happened - not to make a big issue of the event.
@ Sonny
Thanks for answering my question in a friendly manner. It is appreciated.

Feel free to delete this crap if you want. I am not here to sensationalize. I am merely asking POLITELY if anyone had info on this.

very high work loads on ATC
As well as perhaps a change of runway, a late clearer from possible single runway ops, perhaps a possible incursion. Or just a pre ramadan practice.
It would never be from an unstable approach. NEVER.
As a user of the airport, I am constantly surprised that I have NEVER made a miss, but I am certain I have caused at least one.
It did make the page 3 of the National.

shame I love sarcasm, what a waste

Politeness : does it exist in this place of the world ?
For sure , but in one way only.
Sarcams : ... for sure , it is in the same frame of mind.
I know , useless reply , but so true .
