Ms Khan reached out to ground staff in Dubai and wrote three emails to the Dubai airport's lost and found department, who successfully found the wrist watch. In her tweet, she said that she was operating another flight to Dubai and visited the lost and found office, within five minutes she had her watch.

She wrote, "Super impressed with the lost & found department there. I'm in awe that I got my watch back with such little hassle! That's how life is there. It was a good reminder! Growing up in the Middle East it took us a long time to remember to lock our car doors and house doors. Law and order is just brilliant! Thank you, Dubai!"

"When in Dubai, I had inadvertently left some valuables on a desk in a hotel room instead of keeping them in a safe. Another time I even forgot to lock the safe! The housekeeping staff would clean it up every day yet nothing ever went missing. I was astonished," another user commented.

"Law and order there is absolutely top-notch. Unlike our country, you will never find a complaint being ignored there," the third user wrote.
